Therefore, some content may not match the exact appearance of the original print version, but instead uses hyperlinks to navigate between related content.

Foreword
The book you’re holding in your hands right now is no ordinary book. Christians see this book as the unique Word of God, His message to humankind. That is why we appropriately refer to it with names that point to its unique nature and purpose, names like the Holy Bible or Holy Scripture. God the Creator speaks. And in this written communication, He tells us—His creatures—about Himself and His desires for each and every one of us.
The idea that the God of the universe desires something for us might be hard to believe. But His Word makes it clear that He desires good for His creatures, for humankind, for you. He is working to restore and perfect this sin-broken world, and He is doing this by revealing Himself to individuals. Amazingly, God’s grand plan for the cosmos involves the human heart—your heart. God is revealing Himself to humanity and transforming them through grace and faith. And eventually He will remake creation as a place where people can live forever with their God in perfect communion.
The Bible unfolds this magnificent drama of redemption. Its pages contain a record of God’s work. They share the history of His covenant relationship with humanity. They detail His requirements for our lives, and explain the doctrines and teachings that transform minds and hearts. Most important, they tell us about Jesus, who’s at the very center of God’s saving work. For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ
(2 Cor. 4:6).
So the Bible is a vital component in God’s work of revealing Himself and reconciling the world to Himself in Christ. Hearing God speak, becoming more Christlike, walking with the Holy Spirit—all of these spiritual aspects of the Christian life require coming to know the Word of God. If you’ve been a Christian for any length of time, you know that your walk with Christ involves down-to-earth, everyday engagement with this amazing book. You know it’s not enough to be a reader of the Word—you want to be a student of the Word. But where to begin? The Bible’s not exactly an easy book to approach.
That’s what the Know the Word Study Bible was created for.

Genesis
In Summary
Genesis introduces us to God, the origins of the universe, the story of humanity’s rise and fall, and God’s amazing plan to renew this good-but-broken creation through covenant relationships with His people.
How to Study Genesis
Where does the sun go when it drops below land’s horizon?
What are those dots in the night sky that look like tiny leaks of light?
Why is grass green?
These, among other questions, occupied the pre-scientific ponderings of ancient men and women who sought to understand the world. These same questions occupy our inquisitive minds today, both as small children and on a deeper level as adults.
But those questions about the world led to an even deeper line of inquiry. How did we come to exist? How did the earth form? What is our purpose? Is there a higher being (or beings) tied to the inner workings of my ongoing life? How do I please God? What will make life go well for me? For others?
Genesis is God’s brilliant engagement with our questions. It is a message that transcends time, science, and history. It spoke equally to people of the past and to people of today, because our core yearnings for meaning and guidelines are consistent.
Was the earth born out of some god or gods’ invention? Or was its birth a chaotic and random occurrence? Egyptians held to several creation accounts in which gods were formed first and eventually created life. Babylonians believed that the world was created by accident as a result of a cosmic fight between jealous and angry gods. These ancient theories, despite their mythological trappings, bear stunning similarity to some modern philosophical and scientific explorations that describe our world against the backdrop of chaotic, competitive forces and laws.
We often want to know how. But, the first four words of Genesis—In the beginning God
(1:1)—force us to reach further back, beyond the question of how things came to be and into the question of why things came to be. Before the how there was God. And He created personally.
Genesis is God’s letter of introduction. But in introducing God, it also introduces us to God’s work in creating everything out of nothing. It introduces us to ourselves as God’s special creation and describes our status as free creatures in the presence of God. Genesis speaks to all generations, past and present. Notice the introductions made by God and how they help us tackle hard questions that are foundational to the way we see ourselves and live our lives.
• An introduction to God. God is. He always has been. He always will be. He spoke the universe into existence out of nothing (Gen. 1:1). He personally introduced Himself to people. He made the first move, revealing Himself on a cosmic and personal level. He is the source of all things and the guide for all happenings.
• An introduction to creation. Genesis presents two creation narratives: one ordered sequentially (1:1–2:3), and one ordered around God’s crowning creation, human beings (2:4–25). Like His creation, God is orderly, thoughtful, intricate, intentional, brilliant, and balanced.
• An introduction to ourselves. God guides us to know ourselves (1:26–2:25). The story of man and woman pictures the perfect unity between God and His made in His image
cohorts. God gives the gifts of value and deep companionship.
• An introduction to our choices. The perfect unity between God and humanity was painfully brief. Too soon after humanity’s entrance, evil in the form of a serpent tempted the first humans, and they chose evil rather than God (ch. 3). This choice to rebel was truly devastating, with effects rippling from humanity to the entire cosmos. Chaos and the void reappeared, similar to the beginning verses of Genesis (1:2). Sin resulted in chaos, death, suffering, and crisis. Adam and Eve’s new reality was a struggle that multiplied as humanity multiplied on the earth. But in the stories of people like Noah, Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph, we also see God’s faithful persistence not to let His good creation descend entirely into the chaotic void. By establishing covenant relationships with lost people, God began the long process of reconciling this sin-broken creation with Himself. The rise and fall of God’s creative work in Genesis reads like both tragedy and triumph. Triumph comes when God is honored. The ultimate triumph comes through the redemptive plan of God—a plan which sees its initial steps in Genesis, weaves throughout the rest of biblical history, and finds ultimate fulfillment in Christ (Rom. 5:12–20).

³And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

The Second Day
⁶And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

⁸And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
The Third Day
⁹And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

¹¹And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

¹³And the evening and the morning were the third day.
The Fourth Day
¹⁴And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
¹⁵And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
¹⁶And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
¹⁷And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
¹⁸And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
¹⁹And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
The Fifth Day
²⁰And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
²¹And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
²²And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
²³And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
The Sixth Day
²⁴And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
²⁵And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

²⁶And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. People / Note 1: People Are God’s Prized Creation Trinity / Note 1: Trinity in Creation

The Giving of Food
²⁹And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
³⁰And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
³¹And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Genesis 2
The Seventh Day
¹Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
²And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
³And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
⁴These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
⁵And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
⁶But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
⁷And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
The Garden of Eden
⁸And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
⁹And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
¹⁰And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
¹¹The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
¹²And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
¹³And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
¹⁴And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
Man to Care for the Garden
¹⁵And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
¹⁶And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
¹⁷But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
¹⁸And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Adam Names Living Creatures
¹⁹And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
²⁰And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
The Creation of Woman
²¹And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
²²And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
²³And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
The First Marriage
²⁴Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
²⁵And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Genesis 3
The Temptation
¹Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? Evil / Note 1: Satan Is the Champion of Evil Study the Book: Our world becomes bent
²And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
³But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
⁴And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
⁵For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
The Fall of Man
⁶And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
⁷And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
⁸And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
⁹And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
¹⁰And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
¹¹And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
¹²And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
¹³And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
The Curse
¹⁴And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
¹⁵And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
¹⁶Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
¹⁷And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
¹⁸Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
¹⁹In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
²⁰And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
²¹Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
Man Sent from the Garden
²²And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
²³Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
²⁴So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Genesis 4
Cain and Abel
¹And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
²And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
³And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. Sin and Temptation / Note 1: Sin Is at the Door
⁴And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
⁵But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
⁶And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
⁷If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
Abel Murdered
⁸And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
⁹And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
¹⁰And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
