What Genesis is about

Genesis runs from the creation of the world to the death of Joseph in Egypt. The first eleven chapters cover creation, the flood and the tower of Babel. The rest follows one family across four generations: Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob with Leah and Rachel, and Joseph and his brothers.
