Course of Genesis
The inclusion of content in Genesis highlights the divine author’s intent to unveil the history and fundamental principles of God’s relationship with humanity. Genesis lays the historical groundwork for the entire Pentateuch and the Bible. Chapters 1 through 11 provide crucial historical context for understanding God’s covenant relationship with mankind, while chapters 12 through 50 document the Abrahamic Covenant and its early developments. This covenant remains the primary framework through which God bestows blessings upon humanity throughout the Pentateuch and the rest of the Bible.
