The title ''Genesis'' is a Greek translation of the Hebrew, meaning ''origins.'' The Hebrew title of the text is ''bereshit,'' which is the first word of the text and means ''in the beginning.'' Genesis contains 50 chapters, beginning with a creation story in chapter one and ...
Isaac settled in Gerar during a famine (chapter 26) and planted crops for the first time (26:12-13). But Abraham was the first of his clan to head to the Nile delta area to keep his herds -- and his family -- alive. "Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down...
