Book of Genesis

The Book of Genesis is a the first book in the Bible. It was the first of five books written by Moses.

It narrates the creation of the world and the story of the garden of Eden in the first three chapters. It follows with the accounts of humanity's early history, including Cain and Abel, the generations from Adam to Noah, and the story of the Flood in chapters 4–9. The book then recounts the descendants of Noah and the tale of the Tower of Babel, explaining the spread of nations and languages in chapters 10–11. From chapter 12 onward, Genesis shifts focus to the patriarchs, beginning with the call of Abraham, his covenant with God, and the promises of land and descendants. It continues with the lives of Isaac, Jacob (later renamed Israel), and Joseph, whose story concludes with the Israelites settling in Egypt, setting the stage for the events of the Book of Exodus.
