Genesis (the book of the Bible)

Genesis is the first book of the Bible, chronicling the origins of the world, humanity, and God's relationship with people. It begins with the creation of the universe, plants, animals, and humans, highlighting themes of order and purpose. The book tells stories of early figures like Adam and Eve, Noah’s flood, and the patriarchs—Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph—foundational to Judeo-Christian beliefs. Genesis explores themes of creation, sin, blessing, and promise, setting the stage for the rest of the biblical narrative about God's plan for salvation and relationships with humanity.
