"The Bible, King James version, Book 1: Genesis by Anonymous" is the first book of the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament, composed after the Babylonian captivity, possibly in the fifth century BCE. It opens with the legendary creation of the world and humanity's early history, then follows God's chosen people through successive covenants—from Noah's preservation during destruction to Abraham's journey to Canaan, and the descendants of Israel who ultimately arrive in Egypt, awaiting their future exodus.
