THE TORAH
GENESIS
BEREISHIT
The book of Bereishit (also known as Genesis) is the first book of the Torah. It begins with the creation of the world by G-d in six days. After creating the earth, G-d brings forth Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The first humans are quickly banished from the garden after breaking G-d’s commandment and eating from the Tree of Knowledge. The lineage of humanity is established as the book chronicles the descendants of Adam and Eve. The narrative follows the lives of well-known figures such as Cain and Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. The book explores themes of human nature, morality, and faith, as well as the relationship between G-d and humanity. The book ends with the descendants of Abraham settling in Egypt, setting the stage for the following book in the Torah, Exodus.

1 Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had not borne to him, and she had an Egyptian handmaid named Hagar.
2 And Sarai said to Abram, “Behold now, the Lord has restrained me from bearing; please come to my handmaid; perhaps I will be built up from her.” And Abram hearkened to Sarai’s voice.
3 So Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, at the end of ten years of Abram’s dwelling in the land of Canaan, and she gave her to Abram her husband for a wife.
4 And he came to Hagar, and she conceived, and she saw that she was pregnant, and her mistress became unimportant in her eyes.
5 And Sarai said to Abram, “May my injustice be upon you! I gave my handmaid into your bosom, and she saw that she had become pregnant, and I became unimportant in her eyes. May the Lord judge between me and you!”
6 And Abram said to Sarai, “Here is your handmaid in your hand; do to her that which is proper in your eyes.” And Sarai afflicted her, and she fled from before her.
7 And an angel of the Lord found her by a water fountain in the desert, by the fountain on the road to Shur.
8 And he said, “Hagar, Sarai’s servant, where are you coming from, and where are you going to?” And she said, “From before Sarai my mistress, I am fleeing.”
9 And the angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and allow yourself to be afflicted under her hands.”
10 And the angel of the Lord said to her, “I will greatly multiply your seed, and it will not be counted for abundance.”
11 And the angel of the Lord said to her, “Behold, you will conceive and bear a son, and you shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard your affliction.
12 And he will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be upon all, and everyone’s hand upon him, and before all his brothers he will dwell.”
13 And she called the name of the Lord, Who had spoken to her, “You are the God of seeing,” because she said, “Have I seen[him]here also after I have seen?”
14 Therefore the well was called Be’er Lachai Ro’i; behold it is between Kadesh and between Bered.
15 And Hagar bore a son to Abram, and Abram named his son, whom Hagar had borne, Ishmael.
16 And Abram was eighty-six years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
