BEFORE EXODUS // a summary of Genesis
BEFORE EXODUS // a summary of genesis
The first book of the Bible, Genesis, begins
with a description of God creating the
universe. Everything He made—from land
to light to vegetation to animals—He called
“good.” Only when God created man and
woman did He deem creation “very good”
and complete. Adam and Eve lived in the
garden of Eden and had dominion over
creation. But it didn’t take long for the peace
of Eden to shatter.
Sin entered the world and changed everything.
Mankind became separated from
God, banished from paradise. Nothing
would be the same. As mankind multiplied,
they filled the earth and corrupted it. God
brought His judgment upon earth, wiping out
mankind with a flood and using the family of
Noah to start anew. The Lord had a plan of
redemption, and He would carry it out.
Generations passed, and the father of a
future people, Abraham, was born. Abraham
settled in Haran, where he received a
promise from God. The promise was this:
God would make Abraham and his offspring
into a great nation, and they would one day
dwell in the Promised Land. Abraham then
moved his family to Canaan, but when a
time of drought and famine hit, he brought
them to Egypt.
Years passed, and Abraham had a son,
Isaac, and Isaac had a son, named Jacob.
Now Jacob had 12 sons, but the youngest,
Joseph, was his favorite. Joseph's brothers,
in their jealousy, sold Joseph into slavery.
But the Lord gave Joseph favor with the
pharaoh of Egypt, and Joseph rose to power
in the royal palace. And when famine
ravaged the land of Canaan, Joseph’s family
came to Egypt, seeking food and provisions,
and Joseph forgave his brothers.
So the house of Jacob remained in Egypt,
and Joseph lived 110 years. But before he
breathed his last, Joseph reminded the
people of God’s promise to draw them out
of Egypt and into the Promised Land.
