The Christmas Story from the Family Reading Bible
Chapter One
genesis
The word genesis means "beginnings." The book of Genesis is about many beginnings - the beginning of the universe, the creation of the first people and the first human sin. Genesis tells us about the beginning of God's special relationships with the people he created: Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jacob's sons, especially Joseph. In Genesis we find the beginning of God's plan to save his people: his very special promise to Abraham as the father of a great nation (12:1-3).
Genesis is the first book in what is called the Pentateuch - a word that means "five books." The Pentateuch includes the first five books of the Bible. These books are also known as the books of the Law because they contain God's instructions and laws for the people of Israel. Genesis tells how the Israelites became God's chosen people. These five books were most likely written by Moses, except for the last chapter of Deuteronomy, which tells about Moses' death.
Genesis relates the story of God and his relationship with his creation from the beginning of time. Standard dating of Biblical history starts at 2500 B.C., sometime after the building of the tower of Babel but before the birth of Abram (Abraham) in about 2166 B.C. This book covers the time of the patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph), from 2250 B.C. to 1805 B.C. (the death of Joseph).
