Key Terms:
בְּרֵאשִׁית (Bərēʾšīṯ) – "In the beginning"
בָּרָא (bārā) – "created" (a unique verb used only of divine creation)
אֱלֹהִים (’ĕlōhîm) – "God"
הַשָּׁמַיִם (haš-šāmayim) – "the heavens"
הָאָרֶץ (hā’āreṣ) – "the earth"
The book is the first of the Torah (Pentateuch) and foundational to both Judaism and Christianity, focusing on origins—of the world, humanity, and the covenant with Israel.
Genesis in Hebrew is בְּרֵאשִׁית (Bərēʾšīṯ), meaning "In [the] beginning." This title is derived from the first word of the book, which opens with the creation narrative: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."
