Genesis (beginning of the Bible)

Genesis is the first book, or beginning, of the Bible. It has 78 pages in it. The first part of Genesis tells about how God created the earth and the human race. Everything God did was good, but the first woman being Eve, and the first man being Adam, disobeyed Him in the Garden of Eden. God punished the world by bringing a great flood to the earth. Noah, who obeyed God, was commanded by Him to save his family and certain animals by building a large boat that they could stay safe in. The chapter goes on about how the new generation of people stopped worshipping God. Although some were blessed and had more descendants who helped the world become larger. Genesis concludes with the story of Joseph and how he became the governor of Egypt, who then he ends up dying.
