Genesis is the first book of the Torah & hence the first book of the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible; it is also the first book of the Christian Old Testament. Genesis is presented as a historical work. Beginning with the creation of the world, it recounts the primal history of humanity & the early history of the people of Israel as exemplified in the lives of its patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac & Jacob & their families. It contains the historical presupposition & basis of the national religious ideas & institutions of Israel & serves as an introduction to its history, laws, customs & legends. It is a well-planned & well-executed composition of a writer, who has recounted the traditions of the Israelites, combining them into a uniform work, while preserving the textual & formal peculiarities incident to their difference in origin & mode of transmission. Based on the genealogies in Genesis & later parts of the Bible, both religious Jews & Christians have independently worked backwards to find the implied time of the creation of the world, around the beginning of the 4th millennium BC.
