| | Genesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Genesis as a completed book makes no claims about its authorship; it is an article of Orthodox Jewish faith that the book was dictated, in its entirety, by God to Moses on Mount Sinai. | | | Genesis (Greek: Γένεσις, having the meanings of "birth", "creation", "cause", "beginning", "source" and "origin"), also called The First Book of Moses, is the first book of Torah (five books of Moses), and is the first book of the Tanakh, part of the Hebrew Bible; it is also the first book of the Christian Old Testament. | | | Some historians believe Genesis to be a more recent example of monotheistic belief than Zoroastrianism, interpreting the commandment "have no other gods before me" as an artifact of early henotheism among the Jews -- i.e., as evidence that the Hebrews were not to worship the gods of other peoples, but only their own tribal god. |

| | G. F. Hasel - Chronogenealogies in the Biblical History |
| | Later in the book of Genesis the genealogy of the descendants of Abraham through his wife Keturah (Genesis 25:1-4) and through his son Ishmael (Genesis 25:12-18) are only briefly reported, but a more detailed account is given of Isaac (Genesis 25:19-34). | | | An investigation of the so-called genealogies in Genesis 5 and 11 reveals that this is partially true also of Genesis 5 and 11. | | | After Genesis 4 the Cainite line remains outside the purview of the sacred writer, except indirectly in the story of Genesis 6:1-4. |

| | Hasel, G. F. --- Chronogenealogies of Genesis 5 and 11 |
| | In Genesis 5 there is a line of ten patriarchs from Adam to Noah who had three sons, but in Genesis 11:26 the line of patriarchs consists of only nine members from Shem to Terah who "became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran" (Genesis 11:26, New American Standard Bible). | | | Thus the phrase "and he fathered PN" in Genesis 5 and 11 cannot mean Adam "begat an ancestor of Seth." The view that Seth and any named son in Genesis 5 and 11 is but a distant descendant falters in view of the evidence of the Hebrew language used. | | | It appears that a comparison of Genesis 5:32 and 11:26 reveals that there are no grounds to count one of the three sons in one instance and not in the other, when in fact the formula is the same. |

| | Notes on Genesis |
| | The genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11:10-26 are both lists of ten names, and both end with the final individual having three significant sons. | | | The genealogies of Genesis are not likely to be complete and therefore do not function as a chronology. | | | According to creationists, theistic evolutionists are forced into an allegorical interpretation of Genesis one. |

| | KMT Review of The Moses Mystery |
| | Central to The Moses Mystery are two assumptions: that, for the Jews, 3761 BC was the beginning of the Genesis genealogies; and that the ages of the patriarchs, as recorded in these genealogies, are reliable. | | | The genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11, he asserts, derive from the pharaonic kings lists of ancient Egypt. | | | Given the handful of Genesis dates following the start of the Middle Kingdom, such a set of sequential coincidences can’t be dismissed as a random occurrence, and they follow from a Genesis starting date of 3761 BC. |

| | Each of the six periods of creation in Genesis one begins with the particular desire of God toward one part of that over-all decree being spoken, It shows the implementation of that intention as his plan was supernaturally brought into being in the realm of a physical universe. | | | Many who are pledged to fidelity regarding the biblical texts have also published results that imply that Genesis one indicates a fairly recent time of creation compared with the antiquitous claims of the majority in the scientific community. | | | There is little doubt in the context of Genesis 1:5 that the day included the act of God's naming the light day and the darkness night. |

| | In addition to 1.1-2.3, the Priestly layer encompasses most of the genealogies in Genesis, the above discussed genealogical headings, a version of the flood narrative that culminated in the Noah covenant of 9.7-17, the covenant of circumcision with Abraham in 17.1-27, and related promise texts in 26.34-35; 27.46-28.9; 35.9-15; and 48.3-6. | | | These different parts of Genesis are united by a set of "toledot" ("descendants") headings, each of which guides the reader in the major focus of the section that follows it (2.4; 5.1; 6.9; 10.1; 11.10; 11.27; 25.12; 25.19; 36.1, 9; 37.2). | | | In particular, most scholars now recognize that Genesis is a postexilic combination of two bodies of material: (1) a "Priestly" editorial layer or source (P) beginning with the seven-day creation account 1.1-2.3, and (2) a "non-Priestly" source beginning with the garden of Eden story in 2.4-3.24. |
