Genesis 1-11 Analysis

In Genesis one and two, it provides a full understanding of God’s creations and wisdom of human nature because it is free from evil. Human nature is revealed from Genesis one with God creating the Earth and the Heavens and creating the man of his likeness. The Bible explains how God created Adam, from dust and was placed in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:7). The Bible explains humanity was created to work and serve (Genesis 2:15). Subsequently, Eve was created; “God had created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him: male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). Adam and Eve would help God because He wanted them to multiply the Earth by taking care of all of his creation (Hiles & Smith, 2014). God is the sovereign ruler, he created humanity as how he should have wanted. The Bible explains about human nature that God created everything to be distinct from animals and all of His creation. God created us in his own image, which is why we all look different; we are unique in His eyes. Also, God created us to be good because we are born innocent of all evil and loving of God. In addition, we were all born pure as Adam and Eve were. The Bible explains that God was pleased with his creations, “God saw that it was good” (Genesis 1:10-21).

In Genesis 1-3, I am confusing about that in the 6 days, which God created the world, God did not create evil, or some thing bad, but why this world has evil things. In the first day, God created the heavens, the earth, light and darkness. In the second day, God created heaven. In the third day, God created land, seas, and vegetation. In the fourth day, God created the sun, the moon, and the stars. In the sixth day, God created land animals and people. However, God did not create evil. In addition, God should know everything to prevent evil thing, but in the Garden why god did not stop the snake who tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. So, did God created the world and leaved it alone? Also I am confusing about the way the state of Israel and other related nations were formed has to do with a time before Jacob married Rachel. It is in regards to when Esau sold his birthright to Jacob (Genesis 25:30-34). The story of Jacob and Esau is supposed to explain why there was division among their descendants. However, the division among Esau’s descendants and the descendants of Jacob really do not have any explanation other than the fact that Esau regretted selling his birthright, but that should not have caused much problem later. Jacob’s descendants are the nation of Israel and Esau’s are the nation of Edom. Perhaps it was just to make Israel seem like a much tougher nation than it actually was. It is difficult to understand why such a story would be used though because those of us in the future would be confused, as I

In Genesis one and 2, it provides a full understanding of God’s creations and wisdom of human nature because it is free from evil. God created everything from nothing; to be perfect from his perspective. Human nature is revealed from Genesis one with God creating the Earth and the Heavens and creating the man of his likeness. The Bible explains how God created the man named Adam from the dust and was placed in the Eden’s Garden (Genesis 2:7). Adam helped God to take care of the land and all his creation. The Bible explains, Humanity was created to work and serve, keep the garden (Genesis 2:15). Subsequently, Eve was created; “God had created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him: male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). Adam and Eve would help God because He wanted them to multiply the Earth by taking care of his creations (Hiles & Smith, 2014). God is the sovereign ruler which he created humanity as how he should have wanted. The Bible explains about human nature that God created everything to be distinct from animals and all His creation. Humankind is able to show on our nature because we are capable of reasoning. God created all differently and we were all born naked and pure as Adam and Eve were. God created in his own image that why we all look different; we are unique in His eyes. Also, God created us to be good because we are born innocent of all evil and loving God.

Starting from the beginning of Genesis I will travel to the end of chapter 11 giving details of each part as I go along. I will pick parts

The rabbinic approach is the rabbis and religious people’s point of view on a story. Studying the rabbinic approach can add to the understanding of Genesis 11:1-9 because rabbis compare texts to other texts in the Tanakh or verses of a text. They look for the similarities to help us interpret the story. This makes us compare characters or words said throughout the story. This helps us understand the text better. For example, the rabbinic approach compares Genesis 11:4 with Genesis 11:2. the people built the tower to show independence from G!d and show they didn't need g!d anymore. The rabbinic approach gets this interpretation from Genesis 11:3. This relates to Genesis 4 “Come let us build for ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the skies.” They wanted to build the tower themselves to how independence as the rabbinic approach points out. They thought that they didn't need G!D anymore and building this successfully would prove that. But they did need G!d everyone needs G!D. The rabbinic approach says Building the tower to show independence is bad because they didn't any longer worship and except g!D. Everyone needs G!d and the fact that they thought they didn't need G!D was bad because he is above us. This part of the rabbinic approach will help us understand the story because it is a very helpful fact to know in understanding the text when it. The lesson this part of the rabbinic approach teaches us to be loyal and respect G!d as our G!D. In addition, we should

As Genesis is the first book of the bible and verses 1:1-2:3 are the first accounts, it is essential that the story that proceeds be examined. What is then discovered is another account about creation. This creation story is similar to the first account but it can be seen that God ‘is not working to a pre-planned strategy’ , this then ‘hints at a measure of vulnerability in the Creator’ in the second creation account which is a stark difference to the first story of creation where God is viewed as ‘is a king who does all things well: in his own judgement, it is 'very good'. He alone is responsible for creation: his voice alone is heard; he consults no one for wisdom or advice’ . Incorporating the world behind the text and the world of the text we are able to get a more cohesive experience about what the story is telling us, in this case what Genesis 1:1-2:3 is actually referring to. The tools used to analyse the text allows the audience to develop greater insight about the purpose of the text, it also allows the audience to change their previous viewpoint with integrated gained depth and

Looking at genesis chapter 5 we see a genealogy which predominantly runs along a set format that is consistent in its style, there are three exceptions to that format in this chapter. The format is after A lived for number of years, he became the father of B then lived another number of years having other sons and daughters, A lived a total of years, and then he died. This gives us the pattern of full and meaningful lives which end with completion, we are given the one exception to this which gives us the suggestion that maybe death is not the last word for us, perhaps there is more.

In chapter 11 we begin to see people start to build and expand and get comfortable living on earth. God see this and decides to challenge them by having people speak different languages and by placing people in different areas around the world. Chapter 11 is a great chapter that shows us people obeying God’s command to Adam and Eve, which was be fruitful and multiply. We see this especially in verses 20-26 of chapter 11, when author writes about the descendants of Shem.

Along with providing information on the origins of the natural world, Genesis also provides insight into how the world was originally intended to function. After God was finished with his creative work, He declared that everything was “very good” (Genesis 1:31). At this point in time, all of creation was living in perfect harmony—until Adam and Eve sinned. After Adam and Eve gave into Satan’s temptation, sin entered the world and changed how the natural world functioned. Genesis chapters 3-11 show continuous examples of how sin infected the natural world. Animals had to be killed (Genesis 3:21 and 4:4), death entered the human race (as can be implied from Genesis

Christ is not generated from man. He is from heaven who was conceived by the Holy Spirit. Genesis 5:2 says that, Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them man when they were created. This verse explains that “man” is pointed as the “male and female”. Through this explanation, it is logically received that Christ got the Adam’s nature from Mary, the woman, who is able to convey the nature of “man”, because she is also “man”.

“Then God said, ‘Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us’.” (Genesis 1:26a).Because Genesis says that we are to be like God,creation by God is the only way that it is true. God created us because he loves us and wants us to be his children. God created us in his own image so that we can be like Him.

Genesis is the first chapter of the Old Testament. It is the origin of the historical story of creation. Genesis is written to fore tale the story of how God created the heaven and earth. In essence of his creating the heaven and the earth he also created mankind and animals.

In Genesis 11:1-9, the author shares the story of a community moving and building a city, but having God slow their potential through language barriers. I believe God started a language barrier because he did not want humans becoming too smart or accomplishing too much. At one point the piece says, “nothing they presume to do will be out of their reach.” Through this, I think that God shows possible fear of humans becoming as successful or smart as himself. By introducing a language barrier, God makes it harder for humans to communicate and accomplish tasks as quickly. The first time I read the excerpt, I thought what God did was completely unjust. However, after reading it multiple times, I began to understand God’s reasoning to do this. If

While I believe in the validity of the account presented in Genesis, I also believe in the rationality of psychological research. The philosophical anthropologic perspective of psychology presents the notion that humans develop biologically and genetically, within social structures, with “rich inner lives of diverse dispositions, motivations, cognitive abilities and processes, intra-psychic dynamics, and reinforcement histories” (Entwistle, 2015). This systematic development from various influences is how each individual becomes who they are. This means there are numerous effects that may lead an individual to either become more like God, which is absolute goodness, or sway towards evil. Part of the outcome may result from choice, and part

Genesis is the first book of the Bible.  It begins with the story of God’s creation of the universe.    The Lord is the Almighty Creator of the world, skies, heavens, seas, animals, man, and woman.  He governs the universe and develops relationships with man.  Throughout Genesis, God acknowledges the fact that human beings make mistakes, and accepts their imperfection.  Throughout Genesis, God changes from one who does not tolerate disobedience, to one who shows clemency.  Early on in Genesis, God punishes Adam and Eve for disobedience.  After making the mistake of flooding the world, the Lord realizes that even He is not perfect, and does not allow Jacob’s deceit of his father to taint his future.
