'''Genesis''' [Hebrew: '''בראשית'''] ([[Greek language|Greek]]: "birth", "origin"), is the '"book of beginnings', " and the first book of both the [[Bible]] and the [[Judaism|Jewish]] [[Torah]] and the [[Bible]], . The Book of Genesis recounts the beginning of the [[universe]], living things including [[homo sapiens|mankind]], and mankind's [[Society|social]] and [[Culture|cultural]] formations. It stands as the introduction of the entire body of the Bible, of the creation of the original nation of [[Israel]], and of the earliest promises of the coming [[Jesus Christ|Redeemer]]. It provides explanations for modern scientific phenomena, such as [[quantum mechanics]], and is a source wellspring of [[Biblical scientific foreknowledge]].
There are many dozens of references to Genesis in the [[New Testament]], including direct quotations of Genesis by [[Jesus]].
