  4. The Overall Structure of Genesis • Key Word: tdol.AT, “The generations of...” • the Heavens and the Earth (2:4 – 4:26) • Adam (5:1 – 6:8) • Noah (6:9 – 9:27) • Sons of Noah (10:1 – 11:10) • Shem (11:10-26) • Terah (11:27 – 25:11) • Ishmael (25:12-18) • Isaac (25:19 – 35:29) • Esau (36:1 – 37:1) • Jacob (37:2 – 50:14)

  5. The Role and Structure of Gen 1-11 • Genesis 1 – 11 provides the background for the initiation of God’s plan of redemption with the Abrahamic Covenant and is organized around 4 key events: • Creation (Gen 1 – 2) • Fall of Man and its Aftermath (Gen 3 – 4) • Noah and the Flood (Gen 5 – 9) • Nations (Gen 10 – 11)

  6. The Role and Structure of Gen 1-11 • Genesis 1 – 11 provides the background for the initiation of God’s plan of redemption with the Abrahamic Covenant and is organized around 4 key events: • Creation (Gen 1 – 2) • Fall of Man and its Aftermath (Gen 3 – 4) • Noah and theFlood (Gen 5 – 9) • Nations (Gen 10 – 11)

  7. “In the Beginning...”Gen 1:1-2 • There was a time when the universe did not exist (Psa 90:2; Jn 17:5, 24; Eph 1:4; 1 Pet 1:20). • If v. 2 speaks of the earth as already in existence, then v. 1 must refer to its creation! The two verses are tightly connected and are part of Day 1, not just a heading. • The Hebrew verb ar"B' is used “only of God's activity and is thus a purely theological term. This distinctive use of the word is especially appropriate to the concept of creation by divine flat” (TWOT).
