Description
Genesis is the first book of the Bible, presented here in the King James Version, the English translation published in 1611. It opens with God creating the world, then moves to Adam and Eve in Eden, Noah and the flood, and the tower of Babel. Those early chapters set out people, sin, judgment, and promise.
The later half follows Abraham and his family, through Isaac and Jacob down to Joseph in Egypt. Their story of a chosen line and a promised land sets up the rest of the biblical narrative. In King James wording, these accounts also shaped English writing, speech, and imagination for centuries after 1611.
