The Pentateuch is composed of five books, they are Genesis, Exodus,
Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Its author is Moses and it was
written during the 40 years after the exodus from Egypt. Pentateuch is
also called the Torah which means Law or Instruction.

It is believed to be written between 1446 and 1406 BC.  But some
scholars date the book to a later date. They establish 1250 as the
probable date of exodus, allegedly to accommodate the period of the Judges.

The narrative of the genesis begin in the context of the exodus while
Israel was wandering in the desert and forwarding to the promised land.
It is a story of deliverance from Israel enemies by God.  Although the
narrative puts emphasis on some main characters such as Adam, Noah,
Shem, Abraham, Issac and Jacob, the principal motif in the book is to
present God as the creator of all things and therefore the ruler of men.
Only Him is the responsible for all the creation and only Him has the
power for redemption and deliverance of humankind.

Primeval History is a period of time described in Gen 1:1 to 11:26 it
describes (Gen1) The creation of the world, (Gn2) The story of Adam and
Eve, (Gen3), The problem of sin and the fall. (Gen4) the account of Cain
and Abel, (Gen5) The genealogy from Adam to Noah. (Gen6-8) The account
of the flood. (Gen9-10) Repopulating the earth and the account of the
families of Noah’s sons. It ends in Gen11 when trough the episode of the
tower of Babel occurs the dispersion of the people.

The plot develops basically with the divine blessings and commands to
Adam concerning the growth and multiplication of humankind, dominion
over all creatures and the earth itself. Although the promises and
commands still valid after the fall, there are some complications to
fulfill these requirements, for example, from now on women should give
birth trough pain(Gen3:16). And because all creation suffered due to
men’s fall, the dominion over the animals also went trough some kind of
corruption (Gen 3:14). Additionally men would have to toil and sweat to
have the right to eat (Gen 3:17).






Covenant

The Abrahamic covenant must be understood in the context of a bigger
picture where God presents to people during various periods of time, a
array of covenants.  All those covenants have two participants God and
the people, or a single man that represents the people.  The covenants
have always the same essence which is to glorify God and make
understandable to people that his is a sovereign God that takes care of
his peole and provides himself as a solution to the restoration of the
relationship between God and man.

Abraham’s covenant can be found in Gen12. It all starts with a calling
from God, when “The Lord had said to Abraham” to live his native country
and family and go to a specific piece of land.

Then God makes seven promises to Abraham (Gen 12:2-3).
1-To make him into a great nation,
2- To bless him,
3- To make his name great,
4- Be a blessing to others
5- Bless those who bless him
6- Curse those who curse him
7- Bless all the families of the earth trough him
