Genesis

Line 18:

The book of Genesis is called בְּרֵאשִׁית (Bereshit)<ref>[https://biblehub.com/hebrew/7225.htm Strong's Hebrew: 7225. רֵאשִׁית], ''BibleHub''</ref> in Hebrew. Since the original Hebrew Bible does not use separate titles for each book, [[Hebrew|Hebrews]] often used the first word of each book as its name. For Genesis, this word is "Bereshit” (בְּרֵאשִׁית) meaning “In the beginning.” On the other hand, the English name “Genesis” is derived from the Greek word “genesis” (origin, generation) used in Genesis 2:4 in the Greek translation.

The writer of Genesis is known to be [[Moses]]. Moses was a great prophet and leader called by [[God]]. He freed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt and from the oppression of the [[Pharaoh]]. In addition to Genesis, he wrote the books of [[Book of Exodus|Exodus]], [[Book of Leviticus|Leviticus]], [[Book of Numbers|Numbers]], and [[~~Book of~~ Deuteronomy|Deuteronomy]]. These five books are collectively called the Pentateuch.
