In the Jewish tradition, it is the first book of the Torah and known as Bereshit ("In the beginning"; books of the Torah are known in Hebrew by their first word in that language). Literally everything begins here.Genesis starts with a narrative of God's creation of the universe, before focusing on the first two people and how they came to reject God's Paradise. The man who killed their son and their son, Cain, continued the corruption of the world and passed that evil on to his descendants until God had to wash over the whole thing and start anew. The only holdovers from the old creation are the righteous Noah, his family, and the animals they brought along. From them, all the peoples of the world came, including Abraham.Called upon by God, Abraham agreed to serve Him faithfully so that his descendants would outnumber the stars. As part of the covenant, the infertile Sarah gave birth to the beloved Isaac. Isaac himself would have the sons Jacob and Esau, who would hate each other in youth and only after years of deception and fighting come to love each other. In this peace, Jacob had twelve sons, favoring Joseph most of all. Jealous, Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery, but by God's grace, Joseph rose to become the right-hand man of the Pharaoh. Rich and at peace, Joseph would invite his family in Israel to enjoy the bounties of Egypt, where Jacob and Joseph would die while the latter's sons would live without hating each other.The book plays with some of the aspects from Mesopotamian Mythology and other Creation Myths, with the most unique feature being the singular, supreme, and intelligent nature of God. There are also many parallels with its "sequel," the Book of Exodus, as well as historical events, such as the life of Abraham. People are divided over just how literal the first several chapters even are, with the rest of the book being more or less confirmed by archaeology and the former usually being seen as metaphorical or a semi-literal telling of events.

Apparently hosting them and showering them with gifts under this misconception was enough for YHWH to send a plague to Egypt, so he orders his men to deport the couple.

Book of Genesis / int_1b36b313	comment	Mandatory Motherhood: In the case of Onan, the brother of Judah's first dead son Er and brother-in-law to Tamar, it's Mandatory Fatherhood. Onan provoked God into striking him dead by refusing to have a child with Tamar, his dead brother's wife, as per the laws of levirate marriage (in short, he was required to marry his brother's wife, and their first son would be his brother's to continue his brother's family line). He vowed that he would (thus avoiding public shaming and being cast out of his family) and then performed coitus interruptus to prevent it (i.e. probably in the course of having sex with her regularly nonetheless), so he kinda had it coming. The reason Sarah, Rachel, and Leah give concubines to their husbands as a means to have children when they get slammed by the Law of Inverse Fertility: this was, in fact, commanded under the Code of Hammurabi, which was the law of the land at that point. (Marriage back then was seen as a way to strengthen sociopolitical alliances, increase socioeconomic status, and carry on one's lineage; love and companionship came later.)

Book of Genesis / int_1e95dd12	comment	Adam and Eve Plot: The Trope Namer. God's instructions to the first people are: "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it." Some Bible students who go by the King James Version's use of the word "replenish" instead of "fill" insist that the first humans God had created were to replace the ones that existed before them in the "gap period" between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. Later on, when Noah and his family were the only human survivors on the earth after the Flood, God gives them the command to repopulate the earth and make it fruitful. Humanity from that point on is descended from them, as the text implies.

Book of Genesis / int_20779065	comment	Marry Them All: Jacob works for Laban seven years to marry his beloved Rachel. When the ceremony rolls around, he finds he's married to Leah (her older sister) instead. Laban's solution: you get the other girl next week too, but then you have to work another seven years in retroactive payment. Not only that, but both women bring their handmaids into it as well: Rachel because she's barren (for a while), and Leah because, well, she's the less favored wife and has to keep up. So Jacob winds up having four wives and a total of thirteen children.

Book of Genesis / int_2a02e5c9	comment	Guile Hero: This seems to be something of a family trait for Abraham and his descendants. Abraham tries to deceive the Egyptians about his relationship with Sarah, which leads to an Idiot Ball and a What the Hell, Hero? response from the Egyptians. Pattern repeat by his successor Isaac, except that instead of God foiling the attempt, it was Abimelech taking a look out of a window by chance to see Isaac "sporting" with Rebekah. Rebecca is the Master Mind behind securing the greater blessing for her favourite son, Jacob. Jacob thoroughly deserves his reputation as "The Deceiver" with respect to his treatment of Esau and Laban, the latter being a Manipulative Bastard himself. Rachel (who is Rebecca's niece and Laban's daughter and therefore shares some of the same guileful gene pool as Jacob) outsmarts her father and successfully removes his household idols. Joseph, being the son of Jacob and Rachel, tops the list by successfully carrying out an elaborate Xanatos Gambit to reunite the family (see below), and also saves a nation from a famine in the process.

Book of Genesis / int_2c5561c0	type	Eastward Endeavor
Book of Genesis / int_2c5561c0	comment	Eastward Endeavor: Adam and Eve travelled eastwards after being exiled from Eden for eating the forbidden fruit, gaining knowledge of good and evil. After the murder of his brother and his own banishment, Cain travelled further east towards the land of Nod. All this eventually culminated in the human race, now numerous, moving further and further east until they reached a plain called Shinar, where they built the Tower of Babel, an endeavor that resulted in the newly polyglot human race scattering to the four corners of the Earth. Whether one considers the eventual results of these developments to be for the better or for the worse is a very contentious matter, but in Abrahamic tradition, the journey from ignorance and innocence towards modern humanity began when Adam and Eve (and their eventual successors) journeyed east of Eden. Interestingly, however, Eden itself is also described as being planted in the East.note This last bit would follow if Genesis, traditionally attributed to Moses, was written from an Israelite-centric point of view, as the site of many of the early events of Genesis is thought to have been in the area of Mesopotamia, which is indeed east of where the original (and present) nation of Israel eventually settled.

Book of Genesis / int_3c3f28a5	type	Blessed with Suck
Book of Genesis / int_3c3f28a5	comment	Used by both God and the serpent in the Garden of Eden. God tells Adam and Eve that on "the day" they eat the fruit "they will surely die", without mentioning that said death would only come hundreds of years later. On the flip side, the serpent tells them that "they will become like God, knowing good and evil" without mentioning that that would not be a blessing, but part of a curse. Certain Bible students would interpret God's Words regarding "the day" they would die as being fulfilled in the manner of what Peter the apostle says in his second epistle, that "a day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day."

He gets her to say that God has told her and Adam not to eat from the tree or even touch it (the last part of which God never said) or else they will die. Then he gets her to believe that God Himself was lying about the tree, and that if she ate from the tree, her eyes will be opened and she will be like God, "knowing good and evil". When both Adam and Eve eat from the tree together, and are confronted by God over what they have done, and Eve says that the snake deceived her into eating from the tree, God cursed the snake with crawling on his belly and eating dust all the days of his life, and that there will be enmity between his offspring and that of the woman, that "the seed of the woman" shall crush his head while he shall "bruise His heel".

Jacob doesn't really object to this, but his sons (Dinah's Knight Templar Big Brothers) do. They agree to the marriage On One Condition: namely, that all the men of Shechem get circumcised. The Shechemites agree, reasoning that the marriage will unite their tribes and make them wealthier and better off. While they're recovering, Dinah's brothers come in, slaughter all the adult males, take the women and children as plunder, and rescue Dinah.

Jacob is furious, but the sons question what else to do in the face of that insidious a crime. Young Joseph may have been a bit of a bratty brother, with his habit of tattling on his older brothers and announcing his dreams of superiority, but trying to murder him and then selling him into slavery in response?

Book of Genesis / int_67d0342c	comment	Breaking the Fellowship: Abraham and Lot journeyed together through the Promised Land, then to Egypt, then back to the Promised Land again. By Chapter 13, though, strife between Abraham's herdsmen and Lot's herdsmen because the land was not big enough to sustain both men's families together required them to split up. Abraham allowed Lot to choose which direction he wanted to take, and Lot decided to head in the direction of Sodom, which is where he and his family ended up in. Abraham remained in the Promised Land, which God swore that He would give to Abraham and his descendants. Abraham and Lot do meet up together again when Lot and the inhabitants of Sodom were abducted by the four evil kings and Abraham comes to Lot's rescue, but they remained separate from each other from that point onward.

Book of Genesis / int_6a49268	type	"Just So" Story
Book of Genesis / int_6a49268	comment	As crazy as this may sound to some, Eden may have been a (semi-)real place. A site called "Gobekli Tepe" was unearthed in what is today Turkey (very close to the border it shares with modern-day Syria). The site features stone henges that predate Stonehenge (and similar structures), and, indeed, farming. The henges feature carvings of animals, which may represent which clan each one (and its associated sitting place) was associated with, or totemic animals. Gobekli Tepe was a site where groups of people gathered to celebrate... something, or to remember their ancestors, as evidenced by wild animal bones (that showed signs of butchering and cooking), and containers that seem to have been used for the production of beer. Now, what does all this have to do with Eden? Well, besides the clan sigils or totemic animals on the henges, it's located in about the right spot. (Right between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, with some tributaries.) Additionally, the story (being a "Just So" Story) may reflect the hardship of transitioning from a relatively easy hunter-gatherer lifestyle to a farming lifestyle (to produce enough food and drink for a growing population) with all of its challenges. (Living in closer quarters, the uncertainty of the rains, more wear and tear on the body, social stratification, etc.)

The second chapter shows God more intimately involved in human affairs, breathing life into Adam and creating animals and Eve so that he will not be alone. God even walks in the garden with his human creations until they break his one law and try to hide from him. Even then, He clothes them as they go out of the Garden of Paradise into the now-cursed Earth and delays the punishment of death for them for several hundred years until that "day" (interpreted by certain Bible students as 1000 years, according to what Peter the apostle said in his second epistle) was near its end, showing in Scripture the first example of God's grace. More specifically, many think from Scripture that the soul or spirit "died" on the very first day they ate the fruit, but God allowed time on Earth so they would change. When Cain, the first murderer, asks for mercy, God provides him a mark to keep others from killing him, even though God can hear the blood of Cain's victim screaming from the Earth. God also intervenes to prevent the Pharaoh and Abimelech, both of whom are portrayed as good men but not believers in Him, from unknowingly committing adultery with Sarah.

Some theologians think that wherever it was (Israel is among the candidates), it can no longer be accessed by human means. If archaeology helps, the first people (Homo erectus) came from either East Africa or around Georgia, a country in the Middle East. Homo sapiens/neanderthalensis also originated in Eastern Africa, with the branch that would lead to modern humans staying in Africa while the branch that would lead to neanderthals migrating into Europe.

The first 11 chapters are harder to say, but many think they were at least inspired from real events, such as the Flood being one or more large regional floods, centering around the Middle East during the late Stone Age, and the Neolithic Revolution, where many people around the world began to farm and metallurgy and city building was being experimented during the later Pleistocene. There are oodles of interpretations however, depending on who you ask. Interestingly, the fact that the first mentioned people (Adam and Eve) wear animal skins, and most of the early humans are mentioned to be nomads or pastoral, makes some people think this is referring to the Paleolithic, when most all people were nomads and worked with sticks and stones and wore animal skins.

Cain murdered his brother Abel because God, the Father of creation, accepted the latter's offering and rejected the former's. The conflict between Esau and Jacob stems from how Isaac favored Esau and planned to cheat Jacob of his inheritance (Jacob had at this point bought Esau's birthright, and though his methods were unscrupulous, the first-born right should now go to Jacob and not Esau), while Rebecca favoured Jacob and conspired to trick the visually impaired Isaac to give the blessing to Jacob-disguised-as-Esau. Then there's Isaac, who was born to Abraham and Sarah very late, and after Sarah (in despair at a total lack of children) had told Abraham to have a child by her maid Hagar. Once Isaac was born, Ishmael did something that upset Sarah, and she (with God's backing) told Abraham to send Ishmael and Hagar away. Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery because Jacob obviously treat him better than the rest of his sons. Jacob also favors Benjamin to the point that he is willing to let another son (Simeon) rot in an Egyptian prison and let the rest of the clan starve to avoid having to part with Benjamin.

Jacob's uncle Laban, in particular, had household gods, which his daughter Rachel stole and hid underneath her camel's saddle and sat upon while making an excuse that she was going through her period when her father came into her tent to look for his missing gods. Jacob also had his sons get rid of the gods they were worshiping, including the earrings they were wearing most likely as part of that worship, and buried them near a tree before they moved on from Shechem.

Book of Genesis / int_90e31482	comment	Laser-Guided Karma: God often will kill evil-doers after they continue in their vile habit for some time, like in the case of Onan. Onan is tasked with continuing his deceased brother's family by "knowing" his wife. However, "knowing the offspring would not be his," Onan had intercourse with his brother's wife but "wasted his seed on the ground" each time in spite of his due to his brother's widow. This offended God and he took Onan's life, though it doesn't say how. Although Jacob was favored by God over his brother Esau, the former being tricked by his father-in-law Laban into long years of service and marrying Leah is often seen as retribution for Jacob tricking his father and brother out of the latter's birthright and blessing. Not that it stops Jacob from getting even with his uncle by slowly causing his uncle's flock to become his by having his uncle's flock mate in front of some peeled tree branches so that they become striped or speckled, which is what Jacob asked for his wages from his uncle. After fleeing the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot's daughters, fearing there are no other men left in the world to reproduce with, get Lot drunk and rape him. This is often seen as retribution for Lot having tried to appease the men of Sodom, who'd demanded he hand over his two male guests (angels in human guise) so they could rape them, by offering them his daughters instead.

Naturally, eating from the tree only manages to get the two expelled from Paradise and cursed with mortality and toil that will be passed to all their descendants. The serpent doesn't get away freely from this, as God reckons all the human descendants will have a bone to pick with him. Interestingly, the serpent is never identified as Satan in this book or in any other part of the Torah; it is only later in Christian writings that the two are connected, specifically the Book of Revelation.

Obviously, this foreshadows the Hebrews' re-location to Egypt at the end of the Book and their conflict with the pharaoh in Exodus. That Esau and Jacob struggle with each other while still in their mother's womb is an early harbinger of their Sibling Rivalry in the future and the conflict between the tribes descended of them.

Sarah gets jealous of how Abraham's son Ishmael (child of Hagar) is being treated and Ishmael and his mother are eventually sent away. Keturah becomes Abraham's second wife after Sarah passes away. Jacob got to have two wives (Leah and Rachel) and two concubines (Bilhah and Zilpah) as per custom with Laban's people. Rachel was his favourite, which led to The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry and Jacob favouring her son Joseph over his half-brothers. Esau is married to three Canaanite women: Adath, Basemath, and Oholibamah. His mother doesn't like them, mainly because they worship their gods and goddesses, instead of the Abrahamic God, and follow their traditions and customs instead of her and Isaac's.

Abraham refuses to take even a single thread or sandal strap for the sake of not giving somebody the reputation of making Abraham rich, and instead lets his allies have their share of the reward.

Book of Genesis / int_b75b35ac	comment	Forgiveness: A minor instance of this is when Jacob and Esau reconcile after their struggle for the family inheritance. Nationally, though, it became a case of Forgiven, but Not Forgotten, as Esau's people Edom became a perpetual thorn in Israel's side, even to the point of cheering for Jerusalem's destruction and cutting off its people from escaping, if Psalm 137 and the Book of Obadiah are any indication. Arguably the forgiveness story in the Genesis is that of Joseph and his brothers. The brothers, green with envy, sold Joseph into slavery and convinced their father his favorite son was dead. The brothers assume they'll never see Joseph again, but when they come to Egypt to beg for food, it turns out the Pharaoh's most trusted advisor is a grown-up Joseph. The brothers immediately fear for their lives, but instead of taking vengeance, Joseph not only spares his brothers, but invites them to come live in luxury in Egypt. Then the Hebrews never had to deal with slavery ever again... right?

They are very different, too; Esau is a great hunter and sports a Carpet of Virility, and Jacob is good at cooking and stuff like that, and not hairy at all. The latter two even conspire successfully to cheat Esau out of his inheritance, even though it ends up fulfilling what God had said about the sons, that "the older [Esau] shall serve the younger [Jacob]". * Esau's alienation does not last forever; the two brothers made peace years later. Furthermore, Esau's descendants are the Edomites, and Jacob's descendants are the Israelites (including the Jews). During the Secunda period of Judaea, the Edomites become part of the Jewish people and share their inheritance again.

On the other hand, this is averted with the story of Noah: although many later stories about Noah (including a brief retelling of the story in the Epistle of Peter) embellish their tale by depicting him trying to tell others about the Flood and failing to convince them, the original text doesn't mention that happening.

Book of Genesis / int_d1fc4a16	comment	Please Spare Him, My Liege!: Because it is Lost in Translation, most people don't realize that God of all people does this at one point. When Abraham is about to sacrifice his son Isaac, God implores him to let him go and sacrifice a ram instead. In Hebrew, there are two ways to formulate a negative sentence: one of them is known as the Prohibitive, the other the Vetative. The former is used when a person talks down to somebody, i.e. is in a superior position. The latter is used when somebody tries to persuade a superior. With one sole other exception every other negative sentence of God in the Tanakh is formulated as a Prohibitive (for example, the Ten Commandments are formulated in a way that makes it very clear that anybody who violates them will suffer a Fate Worse than Death), but when God asks (not orders, but asks) Abraham to put down the dagger, it reads the same way as a soldier pleading with his commanding officer.

Book of Genesis / int_d2cd18c0	comment	Forbidden Fruit: God gives free reign to the first two humans over everything in the paradisal Garden of Eden, except for one tree, because eating of its fruits will cause them to die. Unfortunately, a wily serpent manages to tempt the two into eating the fruit out of their desire to be god-like, leading them to be expelled from the Garden and introduce humanity to pain and death. The exact species of fruit wasn't mentioned, and alternatives as pomegranate, fig, or grape have been suggested. Much like Four Is Death, it's portrayed as an apple because the Latin word for apple, malus, also means "evil". Alternately, a sectarian interpretation claims that the Forbidden Fruit that Eve supposedly ate of is actually a forbidden sexual act that occurred between the serpent (whom those who believe in this interpretation claim was not yet forced to "go about on his belly") and Eve, resulting in Cain, her firstborn son, being the first of the "serpent seed" that somehow survived and became the Jews, of whom Jesus (who was a Jew) in John chapter 8 had denounced as "children of the devil". This interpretation also somehow fosters the religious idea that Sex Is Evil.

Book of Genesis / int_e9e35e8f	comment	Exact Words: Used by both God and the serpent in the Garden of Eden. God tells Adam and Eve that on "the day" they eat the fruit "they will surely die", without mentioning that said death would only come hundreds of years later. On the flip side, the serpent tells them that "they will become like God, knowing good and evil" without mentioning that that would not be a blessing, but part of a curse. Certain Bible students would interpret God's Words regarding "the day" they would die as being fulfilled in the manner of what Peter the apostle says in his second epistle, that "a day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day." Originally God said to Abraham that he was going to have a child in his old age that was going to be his heir. Sarah, never hearing God ever saying it was going to be through her yet, offers up her handmaid Hagar to Abraham to be a surrogate mother to the supposed promised child, who turned out to be Ishmael. It's only later when God directly visits the couple that He even says in Sarah's hearing that she would be the one to bear the promised child. God agrees that if He even finds ten righteous men in Sodom and Gomorrah He'll spare the entire cities on their behalf. While there are righteous people in Sodom and Gomorrah, they number less than ten so the cities are destroyed though God makes sure Lot and his family escape.

Book of Genesis / int_eba6a077	comment	Cain and Abel: The fall of man away from God sees the collapse of the family, best seen in the interaction of the many brothers within this Book. The only way for even a single nation to begin to reconcile with God is for the brothers of the nation to reconcile with each other. For some examples: The conflict of brothers starts with the first children of Adam and Eve, the farmer Cain and the herder Abel. God finds the animal sacrifices of Abel preferable to Cain's offerings, which leaves Cain envious. Some time later, Cain is confronted by God with the fact that he has slaughtered his own brother, a fact Cain denies while complaining that he's "not his brother's keeper." Indignant, God dismisses Cain's lie by describing how he can hear the blood of the first corpse screaming from the Earth, and then punishes Cain to wander the Earth without a place to call home. Jacob and Esau, two children who are described as fighting even in the womb, both end up the favorite of a different parent, and so each of them works with that parent to conspire against each other for the right of inheritance. Ultimately, first-born Esau is cheated out of his rightful inheritance which now belongs to Jacob, a fact which nearly leads to Esau killing Jacob before the now rightful inheritor flees his home to make his own family. Although if Esau was more mindful of his future inheritance being anything of worth to him than the immediate satisfaction of his appetite, he wouldn't have sold off his birthright to his brother and thus open the door for himself to be cheated in the first place. Then again, it's unclear whether the material inheritance rights of the birthright and the spiritual benefits of the blessing are the same thing - when he realizes what happened Esau exclaims "He took my birthright, and now [emphasis added] he’s taken my blessing!" Joseph, the favorite of Jacob's twelve sons, is so envied by his ten older brothers that they sell him into to slavery and tell their father that Joseph was eaten alive. The tables are turned years later, when the older brothers and the youngest (Benjamin) go to Egypt to request food and shelter for Israel from one of the Pharaoh's advisors: an older Joseph, having risen out of slavery by God's grace. Joseph demands that Benjamin be given to him as a slave in return for the provision of Israel, but the other brothers beg for Benjamin's freedom, not wanting to break their father's heart even further. Impressed by their compassion, Joseph reveals himself as their long-lost brother and allows the people of Israel to come to Egypt. The last group of brothers are the two sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim. Despite the fact that Manasseh is the older one, Ephraim was the one who received a blessing from the patriarch Jacob. Manasseh quietly accepts the situation. Genesis doesn't blow trumpets for Manasseh, but unlike every other older brother who ends up less favored than the younger, he preserves his family over lashing out over his perception of injustice. Rabbi David Wolpe touches on this silent victory for brotherhood five minutes into this interview.

Book of Genesis / int_ee7a60e9	comment	One-Steve Limit: Obviously averted in regards to the Pharaohs, since theirs is a title. Might also apply to Abimelech, king of the Philistines; there are two mentions of an Abimelech that take place decades apart, and it's not clear whether these are the same person or Abimelech Sr. and Jr. Cain's and Seth's descendants have very similar names (like Irad and Jared, Methushael and Methuselah). Notably there are Enoch son of Cain and Enoch son of Jared as well as Lamech son of Methushael and Lamech son of Methuselah.

Book of Genesis / int_f46fb603	comment	Pungeon Master: The patriarch Jacob is prophesying what will occur to his descendants, and says to his grandson Ephraim, "And now, I assign to you one portion more than to your brothers". That doesn't seem like a pun in English. But in Hebrew the word for portion is שְׁכֶם, or "Shechem," which just so happens to be the name of the largest city in the land Ephraim inherited in Canaan. To a Judean or Israelite from 3000 years ago that would be instant chuckles right there.

Rebekah does eventually conceive, but not without divine intervention... and it almost kills her. Leah pumps out six sons and a daughter, while her sister Rachel struggles to conceive, only to be killed by the second time.

The fourth and final time, they bow before him fully aware of his identity and in reverence. Technically, only the fourth exemplifies the trope.

Also, Midian and Benjamin were each born later, eventually respectively bumping Isaac and Joseph into the second-youngest place. Before Esau and Jacob are even born, Rebekah prays for an explanation for her difficult pregnancy and is told that "two nations are in your womb [...] and the older will serve the younger." Her knowledge of this prophecy may explain why she champions her younger son to the point of deceiving her own husband.

Book of Genesis / int_fee9e9a2	comment	Divine Date: One of the readings of Genesis 6:2 suggests that the "sons of God" that went into the "daughters of men" were angels that decided to interfere with God's pure gene pool of humanity, thus raising up the legendary Nephilim. (The other alternate reading is that the "sons of God" were the godly line of Seth and the "daughters of men" were the ungodly line of Cain, and thus their offspring were just people fallen into depraved sin. And yet another alternate reading is that the "sons of God" were local powerful rulers calling themselves as such, taking "daughters of men"—i.e., women of lower status—as wives or concubines.)
