Hello Amigos!
I am Jessy Rose ✨
How are you all doing?
I hope you are doing well and safe!
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!
As it's the beginning of the New Year, let's learn from the beginning.
So, the first book of the Old Testament is Genesis, and the first words are, "In the beginning."
Genesis is a Greek word for beginning.
It covers from the time of the beginning of the world through the days of the Patriarch.
Including the stories of the creation, Abraham and eve, the Fall of Man, Cain and Abel, Noah and the Flood, God's covenant with Abraham, Abraham and Issac, Jacob and Esau, and Joseph and his brothers.
In Hebrew, Bereshith - beginning,
In Greek, Genesis - produce.
Moses has written Pentateuch and Genesis is the first book.
ACTS 7:22
MOSES WAS INSTRUCTED IN ALL THE WISDOM OF THE EGYPTIANS, AND HE WAS MIGHTY IN HIS WORDS AND DEEDS.
Moses was well educated.
But he was equipped, by the spirit of God and wrote everything from the beginning.
BC 1490-1450 on Mt. Sinai, Moses wrote the Pentateuch - the five books of Torah.
