The book of Genesis consists of two parts. Part 1 (chapters 111) is the Creation, beginning with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Subsequently, an expanding population from Adam and Eve turned wicked and got slated for destruction. The Lord chose a flood as the means by which it was to be destroyed. The Lord found righteousness in a man named Noah and exempted him and his family from the destruction. The Lord instructed Noah to build an ark to withstand the flood and to place in the ark a male and female of every type of living creature. The people that went aboard the ark were Noah; his wife; his three sons, Ham, Shem, and Japeth; and their wives. Nine generations after Noah, through the line of Shem, came Abram (Abraham), which began part 2 of Genesis, the patriarchal history (chapters 1250). Only the first three commentaries deal with part 1. Commentaries 4 through 16 all deal with part 2. Commentaries 4 through 7 cover the period from when Abraham left his fathers house until his grandson Jacob leaves home to seek a wife among his mothers people. Commentary 8 lays out in detail the well-known confusion in the multiplicity in naming of Esaus three wives. No commentary or suggestion is offered for that confusion. It is what it is. Commentary 9 discusses and comments on the eerie similarities in the accounts of Abraham and Isaac trying to pass off their respective wives as their sisters both for safety and political advantage. Commentaries 10 through 16 cover the events in Jacobs life until its end at age of 147. He died in Egypt, after having his family brought there by his prodigious son, Joseph, to save the family from a famine in Canaan.
