Genesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Genesis (Greek: Γένεσις, having the meanings of "birth", "creation", "cause", "beginning", "source" and "origin"), also called The First Book of Moses, is the first book of Torah (five books of Moses), and is the first book of the Tanakh, part of the Hebrew Bible; it is also the first book of the Christian Old Testament. |
 | | Genesis as a completed book makes no claims about its authorship; it is an article of Jewish faith that the book was dictated, in its entirety, by God to Moses on Mount Sinai. |
 | | Other scholars note that when Genesis was compiled, it was made up of earlier documents which were so little changed that even their literary tradition, which put the author's name at the end of each document, was preserved, thus preserving also the authors' true identities. |
