Genesis, Book of. The opening Book of the OT. It contains the story of the beginnings of the universe and the early history of the human race. It includes accounts of the
Creation,
Fall,
Flood, the call of
Abraham, and the story of Joseph's captivity in Egypt and the prosperity of his family there. The Book has traditionally been held to be the work of
Moses, but most modern scholars believe either that it is a composite structure made up of materials from sources which can be traced also in other Books of the Pentateuch or that, together with the rest of the Pentateuch, it forms a unified composition from a period much later than that of Moses.
