Structures and Ideas of the Book of Genesis Genesis comes from a Greek word meaning “origin” or “beginning”. Beginnings show a road to an ending. The Genesis is the first book of the Bible that sets the platform for understanding the rest of the book. It starts with the creation, and ends with how nations arrived in Egypt. It contains many sectors of relationships between God’s initial creation, God and humanity, and humanity vs. themselves.
Summary The story of “Noah and the Great Flood” (Gn 6-9) takes place outside the Garden of Eden around 2400 BCE. Noah, the ninth-generation descendent of Adam, lived in a time when “The Earth was corrupt before God”. (Gn 6:11) This grieves the God of Israel, so he decides to destroy what he has created, but Noah found favor in the deity’s eyes because Noah “was a righteous man”. (Gn 6:5-7;6:9) The God of Israel tells Noah to build an ark, gives him specific instructions on its design, and instructs him to bring “two of all living creatures” on the ark with him. (Gn 6:14-19) For 40 days it rains; a great flood covers the earth and “everything that moved on earth perished” except for Noah and everyone with him on the ark.
The books of the Hebrew Bible were written at various times; the most recent predate the 2nd century B.C.E. The Talmud reached its final form c. 500 C.E., but its origins are much earlier. After the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 C.E., Jewish scholars began to record ancient teachings and laws so they would not be lost. These ancient teachings are the core of the Talmud. These texts reveal the Jewish roots of several key ideas in Western Civilization.

The boat was to be sealed with resin inside and out. A set time is made by the divinity for the flood to begin.
God promised that Abraham will be the father of great nations and an everlasting covenant will establish with his descendant and Kings will come from him. For this very reason the Lord changed Abram’s name to Abraham which means father of many. The Mission was also considered outside Abraham’s offspring to include all human beings. God’s plan was not only to separate Abram from his family and blesses him lonely; but he wants Abraham to be a worldwide blessing through his descendants and his faith. The purpose God’s mission, therefore, was to start a plan by which to share his blessing with whole the world as an alternative of dealing every single nation individually.
