The Foundation for GenesisWhere did the information in Genesis come from?

Genesis is the beginning of what the Bible calls “The Law of Moses” or “the Law”

John 1:17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. John 7:19 "Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you seek to kill Me?"


Where did Moses get it?2 Peter 1:20-21 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. NOT from traditions or stories handed down from generation to generation2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;


Where did Moses get it?By revelation from God to Moses on the mountain when he received the second tables of stone?

Exodus 34:27-28 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel." So he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread or drink water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.

Exodus 34:1 Now the Lord said to Moses, "Cut out for yourself two stone tablets like the former ones, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered.

Deuteronomy 10:4 And He wrote on the tablets, like the former writing, the Ten Commandments which the Lord had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire. . . and the Lord gave them to me.
