Genesis is the first book of the Bible.

It means “beginning”.

In this book of the bible we learn about the beginning of:

Our whole WORLD (chapter 1:1-25(

The PEOPLE of our world (chapter 1:26 – 2:25)

The SIN in our world (chapter 3:1-7(

The BIG PROMISE! – The coming of a Saviour (chapter 3:8-24(

FAMILY life (chapter 4:1-15(

CIVILIZATIONS the world (chapters 4:16 – 9:29)

All the different NATIONS and languages in the world (chapters 10,11(

The nation of ISRAEL (chapters 12-50(

The very first time that God promised to send a Saviour is found in

Genesis chapter 3:15.

Adam and Eve are tempted by Satan and they choose to disobey God.

God promises that Satan will be crushed by a child born to a woman.

This promise comes true when many years later Jesus is born of a

woman. When Jesus died on the cross and pays the penalty of our sins

Satan was crushed.

It was written by Moses the prophet

PEOPLE IN GENESIS

ADAM & EVE CAIN & ABEL NOAH ABRAHAM ISAAC JACOB JOSEPH

God told Adam to eat from all the trees EXCEPT the tree of

knowledge of good and evil . The serpent tempted Eve she ate

and gave Adam he ate too.

God kicked them out of the Garden an placed a Cherubim with a flaming sword to guard the gate of the Garden

Chapters 1-11

We learn about the very beginning of the world, and about the beginning of people, nations, and languages.

The world is destroyed by the flood. God makes a promise to Noah after the flood: NEVER again will He send a flood that would destroy. He puts a rainbow in the sky as a

reminder of His promise.

God accepts the sacrifice of Able and

did no accept the sacrifice of Cain.

Cain kills Able.

God Told Noah that He will

send rain for 40 days and 40 nights.

God asked Noah to build an

ark and take his family 7 of

each clean animals and 2 of

each unclean animals “I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.” Genesis 9:13

God did not forget Noah and all who were with him on the ark. The water stopped and eventually the ark came to rest on mountain Ararat.

GOD RESTED

People decided to build a city

and a tall tower whose top will

touch the clouds. The Lord

Confused their languages They called the city Babel

PAGE 2

Chapters 12-38

We learn how God created a great nation

called Israel.

God calls Abraham.

Abraham has a son Ishmael, form Hagar

God promises Abraham another son.

Abraham’s second son—from Sarah—is

born, his name is Isaac. He is the one

that God promised Abraham.

Isaac marries Rebekah.

Isaac and Rebekah have twin sons and

they name them Jacob and Esau.

God gives Jacob a new name, “Israel”.

God said to Abraham get out of your country,

from your family, and from your father’s house,

to a land I will show you”

Have you ever tried to count all the stars in the sky?

“Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And he said to him (Abraham), “so shall your descendants be.” Genesis 15:5

Isaac must NOT go back.

God changed Abram’s name to Abraham meaning ‘father of the faithful” He changed Sarai’s name to Sarah meaning “princess”

God asked Abraham to offer

Isaac as a sacrifice

God will provide the Lamb

A WIFE FOR ISAAC

Abraham asked his servant to go to his home land to find a

wife for Isaac. Isaac and Rebekah were married.

Then Rebekah had twins. The first was

named Esau and the second, Jacob

Esau

gave

Jacob his

birthright

Jacob tricked Isaac and

took the blessing.

Isaac could not take away the blessing he had given to Jacob

Rebekah asked

Jacob to flee from

his brother and go

to her brother

Laban in Haran

Chapters 37-50

The main person in these chapters is Joseph.

Joseph is sold as a slave and is carried to Egypt.

Joseph is sent to prison for a sin he did not do.

Joseph’s brothers come to Egypt because they

are hungry and are searching for food.

Joseph reveals his identity to his brothers.

Jacob’s family moves to Egypt.

Jacob blesses Joseph’s sons and his own sons

before he dies.

Joseph dies and is buried in Egypt.

Jacob and Rachel finally

had a son, they named

him Joseph. Jacob had

10 others sons from Leah

but Joseph was his

favorite.

So he made Joseph a

beautiful tunic with all

the colors of the rainbow

woven into it.

Joseph had

dreams that he

told his brothers

about, this made

his brothers

jealous.

Joseph went to check on his brothers, they plot against him

and sold him to the Midianite merchants.

And they took Joseph’s tunic, killed a goat, and dipped the tunic in the blood. They brought it to

their father and said, “We have found this. Do you know whether it is your son’s tunic or not?”

And he recognized it and said, “It is my son’s tunic. A wild beast has devoured him.”

The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man: 39:2

Joseph was taken to Egypt and sold to a man named Potiphar, an

officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard

But Potiphar's wife was not a good

woman, and one day she accused

Joseph of betraying her husband.

Although her words were false,

Joseph was put in prison.

In prison Joseph interprets

the butler’s and the

baker’s dreams. PAGE 4

God showed Joseph what Pharaoh's dreams meant

“Inasmuch as God has shown you all this,

there is no one as discerning and wise as you.

You shall be over my house, and all my

people shall be ruled according to your word;

only in regard to the throne will I be greater

than you.” Genesis 41: 40-41

People from all over came to Egypt for food. Even

Joseph's brothers came to buy grain. They bowed before

the Egyptian governor—not knowing he was Joseph!

“God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up

my bones from here.” Genesis 50: 25

Two years later, Pharaoh had two troubling dreams

Pharaoh said to Joseph,

At last Joseph reveals himself to his brothers

“So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to

Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.” Genesis 45: 8

Jacob’s family moves to Egypt

Before he dies Joseph told his brothers,
