God created heaven and earth, and all things therein; distinguishing and beautifying the same. Last of all, the sixth day he createth man; to whom he subjecteth all corporal things of this inferior world.
[This book is so called from its treating of the generation, that is, of the creation and the beginning of the world. The Hebrews call it BERESITH, from the Word with which it begins. It contains not only the history of the Creation of the world; but also an account of its progress during the space of 2369 years, that is, until the death of Joseph.
God createth Heaven and Earth, and all things therein, in six days.]
