Genesis (Greek: Γένεσις, meaning "birth", "creation", "cause", "beginning", "source" or "origin") is the first book of the Torah, the Tanakh, and the Old Testament of the Bible. In Hebrew it is called בְּרֵאשִׁית, B'reshit or Bərêšîth, meaning "in the beginning", after the first word of the text in Hebrew, and in line with the other four books of the Pentateuch. As Jewish tradition considers it to have been written by Moses, it is sometimes also called The First Book of Moses.
