The Book of Genesis

The book of Geneis is the first book of the Old Testament in the Bible. The name "Genesis", which means "beginning" (Hebrew: Bereshith, in the beginning), is derived from the Greek Septuagint translation of the 3rd century B.C. Strictly speaking, however, the name refers to the story of creation told in the first chapters.
