	Genesis Rabba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Genesis Rabba (Bereshit Rabba in Hebrew) is a religious text holy to classical Judaism.
		Every chapter of the Genesis Rabba is headed by the first verse of the passage to be explained, and is introduced, with few exceptions, by one or more prefatory remarks starting from a verse taken from another Biblical passage as text — generally from the Writings or Ketuvim.
		The principle of division followed in the sections of Genesis Rabba was evidently that of the Biblical text itself as fixed at the time of the compilation of this midrash, in accordance with the open and closed paragraphs in the Hebrew text of Genesis.

	Exegetical Theory and Practice in Origen and Bereshit Rabba
		Both a Christian text, Origen’s third century Homilies on Genesis, and a Jewish text, the fifth century compilation of earlier midrash Bereshit Rabba, shall be considered as influential early exponents of their respective exegetical traditions as well as indicative of theory and practice within the broader context of common Judeo-Christian exegesis.
		Second, the exegetical theory of the Bereshit Rabba shall be considered, as it may be determined from the text itself as a whole, from the component authors of the text, and as it relates in its theory to that of Origen.
		Finally, in contrast to Origen, who naturally emphasizes in the course of his exegesis (both in theory and in practice) a new revelation regarding the Scripture, backed by the authority of Christ and the apostles, the authority claimed by the rabbis is that of tradition.

	The Story Of Abraham And Idols In The Qur'an And Midrash Genesis Rabbah
		To establish that Genesis Rabbah was indeed the source of the Qur'anic account of Abraham and idols, one has to clearly establish its textual stability in addition to presenting manuscripts that pre-date Islam.
		Genesis Rabbah and Yerushalmi are in principle incomplete because, as commentaries on another text, they can be arbitrarily extended; their orientation is external.

		He feels that the earth mentioned in Genesis 1 must have been pre-existent, uncreated matter, described in Gen 1.2 as invisible and unfinished, which is in accord with the attributes of uncreated matter.
		Expansions upon Genesis; nearly every rehearsal of Genesis has its own special addition, expansion, or commentary: 3.1 The plan of creation was made prior to its execution; perhaps a reflection on the greatness of God: 1QS 3.15; 1QH 197-8p 19; 4 Ezra 3.6.
		The path from Genesis 1 to the intertestamental period is hardly a direct one, and we are seeing at least 2d or 3d generation interpretation, reflecting the possibility of a parallel tradition which reached the writers in a far different form than that available to the writers of Genesis 1.

	Adam and Eve - Crystalinks
		The modern version of the hypothesis is that the chapters of Genesis which contain the Adam and Eve story are drawn from two originally separate texts or groups of texts, the Priestly source (sometimes also called the Ellohyst source) and the Jahwist source.
		According to the Torah (Genesis 2:7), Adam is said to have been formed by God from "dust from the earth"; in the Talmud (Tractate Sanhedrin 38b) of the first centuries of the Christian era he is, more specifically, described as having initially been a golem kneaded from mud.
		The Genesis verse, that "according to the image of God he made them, male and female he made them", implied that the first account of the creation of man and woman, according to Theodotus (c.160 CE), that both man and God were anthropogynous beings, later separated by God, the Father/Mother.

	PHILADELPHIA SEMINAR ON CHRISTIAN ORIGINS MINUTESVolume 11 (1973-74)
		At the turn of the 3d century C.E., the principles of the beginning were hotly contested by the many religious groups, Jewish apologists had insisted on the priority of Moses to Greek thinkers and thought, and Christian apologists were quick to pick up this argument, often with considerable ingenuity.
		Noted were the presence of parallels to NT material, the occurrence of the usual philosophical questions (predestination, the possibility of pre-existent material, etc.), along with a striking lack of reference or allusion to the imago Dei of Gen 1.26.
		The path from Genesis 1 to the intertestamental period is hardly a direct one, and we are seeing at least second or third generation interpretation, reflecting the possibility of a parallel tradition which reached the writers in a far different form than that available to the writers of Genesis 1.

	Touchstone Archives: The Joseph Story
		Although all of the stories in Genesis are tied together by unifying historico-theological themes and a panoramic epic construction, there are two very clear points of style in which this long story of Joseph stands out uniquely with respect to the narratives that precede it.
		For example, while the more ample significance of Abraham’s trial in Genesis 22 doubtless requires its integration into the larger motif of the Promised Son and Heir, that chapter is so constructed that it also may be read as a single story with its own inherent drama.

	Fishing The Abyss » Blog Archives » The Kingdom of God (part 1 - Chaos Theory)
		In the opening stanza of Genesis, we are confronted with a God who is “hovering over the waters” of the deep (or, in the Hebrew mind - the abyss).
		Genesis Rabba, a Jewish religious text and the Hebrew study of Genesis, supports the idea of God as creator of order working against chaos, and sees God as continually creating - making things better.
		This is demonstrated in the form of “deep calling out to deep” in the Genesis story, where Days 1 & 4, 2 & 5, and 3 & 6 are set up to show that God is always improving on His creation.

		The implication is that the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh, on whom the patriarch Jacob or Israel had specifically named his name (Genesis 48:16), finally settled in the British Isles.
		If this question is less important than the story of modern-day Joseph, its answer is quite significant in magnifying our appreciation of how the bequeathing of the birthright blessings eventually occurred in the late-18th and early-19th centuries (the timing of which will be explained in Chapter 6).
		Jacob’s words as recorded in Genesis 48:5 implies that Ephraim and Manasseh took the place of Reuben and Simeon, the first two sons born by Leah.
