chapters of Genesis start with the creation of the universe and man through the progression of man and ultimately the dispersal of man across the earth. Throughout the stories there is a repetitive theme about man and that is that man is wicked. After the fall of man from eating the apple from the tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad (Genesis 3) one of the first acts of wickedness that occurs is the slaying of one’s own brother because of jealousy (Genesis 4).

He brought with him two of his servants and on arrival

Bible Observation After reading Genesis 1-10 my observation of the reading was that this was one of the beginning stories of man.
