Genesis is the first book of the Bible and also the first book of Moses. It contains the account of the creation of the world and of man, the flood, the lives of the fathers of the Jewish race and the beginnings of the nation of Israel in Egypt.

"This is the written account of Adam's line. When God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. He created them male and female and blessed them. And when they were created, He called them 'man [Adam].'" (Genesis 5:1-2).
