      Introduction

      The Hebrew word for Genesis is bereshi, which means beginning. Genesis is the book of beginning, the beginning of the universe, the beginning of creation, the beginning of human beings, the beginning of life, the beginning of sin, etc. There are many first in Genesis, the first human being, the first marriage, the first sin, the first murder, etc. When you read the book of Genesis, watch out for all the first. Genesis can be divided into 2 sections. Genesis chapters 1 to 11 is primeval history, tracing the genealogy from Adam to Abraham. Genesis chapter 12 to 50 is patriarchal history, tracing the genealogy from Abraham to Joseph.  In this book, I only cover Genesis chapters 1-11

      Creation

      God created the world in six days. Whether this is a literal 24 hours day or not is something that is hotly debated. According to God’s reckoning, 1 day is as 1000 years and 1000 years is as 1 day, 2 Peter 3:8. God created, transcends, and is outside of the time, and space continuum. There are two schools of thought regarding the age of the universe. Is the age billions of years old or
