The Bible | KJV: Genesis
About this audiobook
Genesis — King James Version
Genesis, the first book of the Bible in the King James Version (KJV), serves as the foundational text of the Old Testament and the entire Christian biblical canon. Its name, derived from the Greek word meaning "origin" or "beginning," aptly describes its central theme: the beginnings of the world, humanity, and God's chosen people.
The book is traditionally divided into two main sections. The first section (chapters 1–11) presents primeval history, recounting the creation of the universe in six days, the tragic fall of Adam and Eve, the devastating Flood during Noah's time, and the dispersion of nations at the Tower of Babel. These narratives establish God's sovereignty over creation and humanity's recurring tendency toward sin.
The second section (chapters 12–50) focuses on patriarchal history, tracing the lives of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. Through divine covenants and promises, God selects Abraham and his descendants to become a great nation, through whom all the earth will be blessed. The book concludes with the Israelites settling in Egypt, setting the stage for the Exodus.
Written in majestic KJV prose, Genesis combines theology, history, and literature to reveal God's plan of redemption from the very dawn of time.
