Genesis 1
God created the heavens, the earth and everything that lives. He made humankind in his image, and gave them charge over the earth.
Genesis 2
God formed man and gave him the garden in Eden, except the tree of good and evil. Adam was alone so God made a woman as his partner.
Genesis 3
The serpent deceived the woman. She and Adam ate from the tree. The ground was cursed, and God sent Adam and Eve out of the garden.
Genesis 4
Eve’s son made offerings to the Lord. Only Abel’s was acceptable, so Cain killed him. Abel’s blood cried out and God sent Cain away.

Humankind corrupted the earth with evil. God decided to destroy them. He told Noah to build an ark to be saved from the flood.
Genesis 7
Noah and his family went into the ark with two of each creature. It rained for forty days and forty nights and the earth was covered.
Genesis 8
The flood abated. Noah sent out a raven and two doves. When the earth was dry God called them all out of the ark. Noah built an altar.

They began building a great tower for themselves, but the Lord confused their language. Shem’s line included Abram who married Sarai.

God told Abram, “Go, I will make you a great nation. You will be a blessing.” In Egypt Abram lied about Sarai and Pharaoh was cursed.
Genesis 13
Abram journeyed with his nephew Lot. Their servant argued, so Lot went to Sodom, Abram to Canaan. The Lord promised Abram the land.

Angels took Lot out of Sodom. The city was destroyed by fire and Lot’s wife was turned to salt. His daughters had children for him.
