| Summary | "The World English Bible (WEB): Genesis" by Anonymous is a biblical text compiled during the ancient period, traditionally attributed to around the 1st millennium BC. This foundational text explores the creation of the world, the origins of humanity, and the early stories of the patriarchs, focusing particularly on figures such as Adam, Noah, and Abraham. At the start of Genesis, the narrative opens with the account of creation, detailing how God brought the universe into existence over six days and rested on the seventh. It then introduces the creation of humankind in God's image, highlighting the significant figures of Adam and Eve, set in the idyllic Garden of Eden. The initial harmony is disrupted by the temptation of the serpent, leading to the fall of man. This sets the stage for a series of pivotal events, including the story of Cain and Abel, the flood, and the covenant with Noah, all of which emphasize themes such as obedience, sin, and divine mercy, forming the backbone of the Judeo-Christian faith's understanding of humanity's beginnings.
