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 And the Lord said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, for it is you that I have seen as a righteous man before Me in this generation.
2 Of all the clean animals you shall take for yourself seven pairs, a male and its mate, and of the animals that are not clean, two, a male and its mate.
3 Also, of the fowl of the heavens, seven pairs, male and female, to keep seed alive on the face of the earth.
4 For in another seven days, I will make it rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will blot out all beings that I have made, off the face of the earth.”
5 And Noah did, according to all that the Lord had commanded him.
6 And Noah was six hundred years old, and the flood came about, water upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him into the ark because of the flood waters.
8 Of the clean beasts and of the beasts that are not clean, and of the fowl, and all that creeps upon the earth.
9 Two by two they came to Noah to the ark, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after the seven days, that the flood waters were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on this day, all the springs of the great deep were split, and the windows of the heavens opened up.
12 And the rain was upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.
13 On this very day, Noah came, and Shem and Ham and Japheth, Noah’s sons, and Noah’s wife and his sons’ three wives with them, into the ark.
14 They, and every beast after its kind, and every domestic animal after its kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird of every wing.
15 And they came to Noah to the ark, two by two of all flesh in which there is the spirit of life.
16 And those who came male and female of all flesh came, as God had commanded him, and the Lord shut him in.
17 Now the Flood was forty days upon the earth, and the waters increased, and they lifted the ark, and it rose off the earth.
18 And the waters became powerful, and they increased very much upon the earth, and the ark moved upon the waters.
19 And the waters became exceedingly powerful upon the earth, and all the lofty mountains that were under the heavens were covered up.
20 Fifteen cubits above did the waters prevail, and the mountains were covered up.
21 And all flesh perished that moved upon the earth, among the fowl, and among the cattle, and among the beasts, and among all creeping creatures that creep upon the earth and all mankind.
22 Everything that had the breath of the spirit of life in its nostrils, of all that were on the dry land, died.
23 And it [the Flood] blotted out all beings that were upon the face of the earth, from man to animal to creeping thing and to the fowl of the heavens, and they were blotted out from the earth, and only Noah and those with him in the ark survived.
24 And the water prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.

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.
