(working from the New International Version)
The first book we find in the bible is Genesis, which means, "beginnings" or "origin". This is an account referred to as the Book of Moses written from 1450-1410 B.C., somewhere in the Sinai peninsula. At that time his audience was the people of Israel and therefore the original language in which it was recorded is Hebrew.
Genesis has fifty chapters, starting with creation and ending with the death of Joseph. The events in these chapters took place starting at creation and ending in the year 1805 B.C.The setting is the Middle East.
Chapter 1
This is an outline of Gods creation
Day 1=heavens, earth, light (separates from darkness)
Day 2=water and sky
Day 3=ground, seas, vegetation
Day 4=lights (planets and stars)...to mark seasons, days years
Day 5=creatures of water and birds
Day 6=livestock, man
Day 7=rest (chapter 2)
Favorite verse:
"Then God said,'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness'..." -Genesis 1:26
This is my favorite verse because to know that God created man in His image means that each of us are given the ability to reflect His character through love, patience, forgiveness, kindness, and faithfulness. If you ever doubt your self-worth, think back to this beautiful fact!
