Beschreibung:

Writer(s): Moses
Place Written: Wilderness of Sinai
Writing Completed: 1513 B.C.E.
Time Covered: (?) - 1657 B.C.E

The first book of the Pentateuch (Greek for "five rolls" or "fivefold volume"). "Genesis" (meaning "Origin; Birth") is the name given to the first of these books by the Greek Septuagint, whereas its Hebrew title Bereʼ·shithʹ (In the Beginning) is taken from the first word in its opening sentence.

When and Where Written
The book of Genesis was evidently part of the one original writing (the Torah), and it was possibly completed by Moses in the wilderness of Sinai in the year 1513 B.C.E. After Genesis 1:1,2 (relating to the creation of the heavens and the earth), the book evidently covers a span of thousands of years involved in the preparation of the earth for human habitation (see CREATION; DAY), and thereafter it covers the period from man's creation on down to the year 1657 B.C.E., when Joseph died. - See CHRONOLOGY (From Human Creation to the Present).
