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.
Chapter 8
Bible Reading in Genesis (Bereishit in Hebrew)
G-d’s Mercy is bestowed, as the earth dries.
G-d finds favor from the offering of Noah, and said in His heart, not to curse again the ground for man. And that life cycle continues hereafter.
“The Waters Recede”
“The Sending of Raven and Dove”
“The Earth Dries”
“Noah Brings An Offering”
God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the animals that were with him in the Ark, and God caused a spirit to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
8:1
And the Ark came to rest in the seventh [month], on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
:4,
He sent out the raven, and it kept going and returning until the waters dried from upon the earth.
:7
The dove came back to him in the evening – and behold! an olive leaf it had plucked with its bill! And Noah knew that the waters had subsided from upon the earth.
:11
God spoke to Noah, …
:15
Then Noah built an altar to Hashem and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.
:20
Hashem smelled the pleasing aroma, and Hashem said in His heart: “I will not continue to curse again the ground because of man, since the imagery of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again continue to smite his youth; nor will I again continue to smite every living being, as I have done.
:21
Continuously, all the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”
:22
1 And God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark, and God caused a spirit to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
2 And the springs of the deep were closed, and the windows of the heavens, and the rain from the heavens was withheld.
3 And the waters receded off the earth more and more, and the water diminished at the end of a hundred and fifty days.
4 And the ark came to rest in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
5 And the waters constantly diminished until the tenth month; in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, the mountain peaks appeared.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made.
7 And he sent forth the raven, and it went out, back and forth until the waters dried up off the earth.
8 And he sent forth the dove from with him, to see whether the waters had abated from upon the surface of the earth.
9 But the dove found no resting place for the sole of its foot; so it returned to him to the ark because there was water upon the entire surface of the earth; so he stretched forth his hand and took it, and he brought it to him to the ark.
10 And he waited again another seven days, and he again sent forth the dove from the ark.
11 And the dove returned to him at eventide, and behold it had plucked an olive leaf in its mouth; so Noah knew that the water had abated from upon the earth.
12 And he again waited another seven days, and he sent forth the dove, and it no longer continued to return to him.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, that the waters dried up from upon the earth, and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and he saw, and behold, the surface of the ground had dried up.
14 And in the second month, on the twenty seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 And God spoke to Noah saying:
16 “Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
17 Every living thing that is with you of all flesh, of fowl, and of animals and of all the creeping things that creep on the earth, bring out with you, and they shall swarm upon the earth, and they shall be fruitful and multiply upon the earth.”
18 So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him.
19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and all fowl, everything that moves upon the earth, according to their families they went forth from the ark.
20 And Noah built an altar to the Lord, and he took of all the clean animals and of all the clean fowl and brought up burnt offerings on the altar.
21 And the Lord smelled the pleasant aroma, and the Lord said to Himself, “I will no longer curse the earth because of man, for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth, and I will no longer smite all living things as I have done.
22 So long as the earth exists, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”

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.
