About The Book of Genesis:
The name "Genesis" comes from a Greek word meaning "beginning" and this is a book of beginnings, because it talks about the beginning of the universe, the beginning of the human race, and the beginning of the people of Israel.
The first part of Genesis (1-11) tells about creation and the human race up to the time of Abraham. Everything God created was good, but the first two human beings, Adam and Eve, disobeyed Him and brought evil into the world. People became so sinful that God decided to send a flood to kill everyone except a man named Noah and his family. They worshiped God, and so God told them to build a large boat to save themselves and a few of each kind of animals and birds. After the flood people again spread out over the earth, and most of them stopped worshiping God.
The rest of the book of Genesis (12-50) contains the story of Abram and his family. God also changed Abram’s name to Abraham, and the name of Abraham's wife Sarai to Sarah. Abraham and his wife Sarah had no children, but God promised that they would have a child that their descendants would someday have their own land and be a blessing for all nations.
Abraham and Sarah moved to Canaan, the land that God had promised to give their descendants. Abraham and Sarah had a son, Isaac, when they were very old. Isaac later had two sons, Jacob and Esau. As the book concludes, Jacob's twelve sons and their families are living in Egypt. One of these brothers, Joseph , had become the governor of Egypt. But Joseph knew that God would someday keep his promise to his people:

Before Joseph died, he told his brothers, “I wont live much longer, but God will take care of you and lead you out of Egypt to the land he promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” (50.24)
