Genesis

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

Genesis is the first book of the Old Testament. In Hebrew it is called 'Bereshith,' "in the beginning," from the initial words of the text. The first eleven chapters deal with the creation of the world, the Fall of Man and the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, the Flood and the Dispersion of the Jews. The remaining chapters (12-50) are accounts of the lives of the patriarchs of Israel: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph.

Genesis is presented here in stunning E-book format specially designed for the NOOK. It includes five different versions, an exhaustive commentary by Matthew Henry and a gallery of illustrations by renowned German artist Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld.
