{"product_id":"2940012377951","title":"Exposition of Genesis","description":"The name universally used in English for this book is \"Genesis.\" This\u003cbr\u003e   name is a transliteration of the Greek word genesis, which constitutes\u003cbr\u003e   the regular title from of old in the Septuagint and was taken over by\u003cbr\u003e   Jerome into the Vulgate--Liber Genesis. Luther made a new departure\u003cbr\u003e   when he substituted in his German Bible the title \"The First Book of\u003cbr\u003e   Moses\"--a designation requiring no further commentary. In the Hebrew\u003cbr\u003e   Bible the book constitutes the first part of the Pentateuch. As a\u003cbr\u003e   distinct part it so naturally stands out as a unit that there can be no\u003cbr\u003e   doubt that it was designed to be just such a unit; and so even\u003cbr\u003e   criticism from its point of view is ready to accept the division of the\u003cbr\u003e   Pentateuch as a whole into five parts and that the book of Genesis in\u003cbr\u003e   particular was a part of it at so early a date as at least four\u003cbr\u003e   centuries before the Christian era. Though no evidence is available, we\u003cbr\u003e   are inclined to believe that the Jews discerned the fivefold division\u003cbr\u003e   of the Pentateuch from the time that the work was put into their hands.\u003cbr\u003e   They are wont to refer to the book by the title of Bereshith, the very\u003cbr\u003e   first Hebrew word, meaning: \"in the beginning.\"","brand":"New Century Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47167302926576,"sku":"2940012377951","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012377951_p0.jpg?v=1763567991","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012377951","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
