The Holy Bible: Genesis

This is the New International Version of Genesis.

Genesis is the first book of the Bible. People are not sure who wrote the book of Genesis, but many suspect it was Moses. This book tells of God's Creation of human beings and the entire universe. This book is also important because it states the colossal promises God made to Abraham.

We do not know when Creation or the Flood occured, but we do know that Abraham was probably born at 2150 B.C., with his great-grandson Joseph passing away at around 1800 B.C. The first eleven chapters happened in Mesopotamia. Chapters 12-36 occured in Canaan (the promised land). The rest of Genesis took place in the country of Egypt.

The people we need to focus on in this book are Adam, Eve, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, Rachel, and Joseph. We can learn that God created the world. We can know that God loves each and every human being immensely, but he does punish sinful doings. But God makes a magnificent promise to each of us, Christian or Non-Christian: He will save each and every one of us if we trust in Him.
