      A careful reading, study, meditation, and application of this commentary helps readers to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, 2 Peter 3:18.

      God rewards those readers who seek Him diligently with faith for, Without faith, it is impossible to be well-pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him, Hebrews 11:6.

      Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, 2 Timothy 3:16.

      For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart, Hebrews 4:2

      This was an excellent book to understand the Book of Genesis. Dr. Koh is gifted at connecting the word of God to today's world and applying it to Christian living. Rowan E Creech.

      This is a focused study on Genesis, which is the first book of the Bible. It is the foundation of our beliefs in Jesus Christ. I found this study to be unique because it gave me so much to study and meditate on. PAR.

      The significance of the ’holy-day’ or the 7th day, the curse on women (labor pain), the history of generations, the satan-serpent's confusion creation, and the blood theory of murder are engaging, Sudipta.

      Introduction

      The Hebrew word for Genesis is bereshi, which means beginning. Genesis is the book of beginning, the beginning of the universe, the beginning of creation, the beginning of human beings, the beginning of life, the beginning of sin, etc. There are many first in Genesis, the first human being, the first marriage, the first sin, the first murder, etc. When you read the book of Genesis, watch out for all the first. Genesis can be divided into 2 sections. Genesis chapters 1 to 11 is primeval history, tracing the genealogy from Adam to Abraham. Genesis chapter 12 to 50 is patriarchal history, tracing the genealogy from Abraham to Joseph.  In this book, I only cover Genesis chapters 1-11

      Creation

      God created the world in six days. Whether this is a literal 24 hours day or not is something that is hotly debated. According to God’s reckoning, 1 day is as 1000 years and 1000 years is as 1 day, 2 Peter 3:8. God created, transcends, and is outside of the time, and space continuum. There are two schools of thought regarding the age of the universe. Is the age billions of years old
