Genesis
A canonical book of the Old Testament, so called from the Greek γενεσις, _genesis_, or _generation_, because it contains an account of the origin of all visible things, and of the genealogy of the first patriarchs. In the Hebrew it is called בראשית, which signifies, _in the beginning_, because it begins with that word. Genesis is rendered in the installed Bible Names resource as “beginning.” This unified study connects 4 installed resource categories without replacing their source records.
