Genesis has 3 distinct, sequential geographical settings: 1) Mesopotamia (chaps.
1–11); 2) the Promised Land (chaps.
12–36); and 3) Egypt (chaps.
37–50).
The time frames of these 3 segments are: 1) Creation to ca. 2090 B.C.; 2) 2090–1897 B.C.; and 3) 1897–1804 B.C. Genesis covers more time than the remaining books of the Bible combined.

In today’s world: Without the Bible: there is evil, there is bondage, there is oppression, there is a striving, a futility.
There are gods, there are spiritual powers at work - the what
