Title: The word genesis means “beginning” or “origin.” Bereshith, the first word in the Hebrew text, means “in the beginning.”
Background: Genesis is the first of the five books of Moses, called the Pentateuch. Genesis deals with the history of humanity dwelling in the lands from Eden to Ur in the first 11 chapters and from Canaan to Egypt in the remaining 39 chapters. This first book forms the basis for all further revelation about God and His plan for man.
Where written: The general belief is that Moses received this revelation while on Mount Sinai in the wilderness.
To Whom: Genesis is written for the benefit of the Israelites, but the messages contained herein are timeless, as the promises God made to the patriarchs are made known and the foundation is set for the revelation of God’s love and the redemption of mankind through Jesus Christ.
Content: God uses His Word to speak all creation into being. This creation is perfect until man sins by listening to Satan instead of trusting God and obeying His plan. This sin of Adam and Eve results in spiritual death and eventually fills the world with hate, violence, and disobedience. Finally, sin prevails until God uses a flood to destroy humanity, except for righteous Noah and his family. Even after this, sin sweeps the land, and the people build the massive tower of Babel in defiance of God. God never stops loving man; however, the last 39 chapters of Genesis reveal how God – through the family of Abraham – directs history to establish the early stages of His plan to save the people and mend their fellowship with Him. The book closes with God’s chosen people in Egypt.
Key Words: “Beginning”; “Man”; “Covenant.”
Genesis accounts for the “beginning” of the heavens and earth, plant and animal life, “man” and woman, sin and civilization, and God’s work of redemption. God’s eternal plan of salvation for mankind is revealed through the “covenant” He establishes with Abraham.
Themes: • God creates man in His own image for fellowship with Him. • Man is created with a body, a soul, a spirit, and a free will to make decisions for or against God. • Though we sin, God will not give up on us or abandon us. • Despite our failures, God loves us and sees our value and worth. • The Lord has a plan for every life, and it includes salvation and total obedience to His Word. • God has the love and the power to protect and provide for us as we place our faith in Him.
