The six days of creation. Coronavirus = the flood The primeval history, the name given by biblical scholars to the first eleven chapters of the Book of Genesis, is a story of the first years of the world's existence.[1] It tells how God creates the world and all its beings and places the first man and woman (Adam and Eve) in his Garden of Eden, how the first couple are expelled from God's presence, of the first murder which follows, and God's decision to destroy the world and save only the righteous Noah and his sons; a new humanity then descends from these sons and spreads throughout the world, but although the new world is as sinful as the old God has resolved never again to destroy the world by flood, and the history ends with Terah, the father of Abraham, from whom will descend God's chosen people.[2] Structure and content Composition history Themes and theology See also Notes References Last edited 2 months ago by Editor2020 RELATED ARTICLES Jahwist one of the sources of the Torah in the documentary hypothesis, dated to the Babylonian captivity or later; uses the name YHWH throughout, anthropomorphizes God physically/mentally, focuses on the Kingdom of Judah, and supports the Davidic monarchy Genesis flood narrative Biblical flood myth Composition of the Torah The origins and composition of the Torah Content is available under CC BY-SA 3.0 unless otherwise noted.
