Day 1



Read the Bible in 90 days.....
Day one summary.

Gen 1:  God created the heavens, the earth and everything that lives. He created man in his own image, blessed them, and gave them dominion over everything on the earth.

Gen 2:  The first sabbath. God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. He planted a garden in E'den and there he put the man he created from the dust of the ground. The Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat, except 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.God took a rib from Adam and created a woman.

Gen 3:  The serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For 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 woman ate of the tree and also gave to her husband and he did eat. Unto the woman God 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. To Adam, God said, cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life, Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In 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.The earth became cursed, and God sent Adam and Eve out of the garden.

Gen 4:  Cain and Abel are the first born to Adam and Eve. Cain slew Abel. The Lord set a mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him kill him, and then Cain went out from the presence of the Lord to the land of Nod. Cain begat E'noch. Adam and Eve begot Seth.
 
Gen 5: The generations of Adam are: Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech and Noah. Noah's sons were Shem, Ham and Japheth.

Gen 6: God saw that the wickedness of man was great and evil continually, and it grieved him. God decided to destroy all flesh and living things on earth with a flood of water. Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord and God formed a covenant with Noah. He told Noah to build an ark to be saved from the flood.

Gen 7: As commanded by the Lord, Noah and his family went into the ark with (seven each) clean and (two each) unclean beasts, and (seven each) fowl of the air, to keep seed alive upon the earth of each creature. It rained for forty days and forty nights and the earth was covered. The water prevailed on the earth for 150 days. Every living substance was destroyed, except for Noah and they that were with him in the ark.

Gen 8: The flood abated. The ark rested in the 7ᵗʰ month on the 17ᵗʰ day, upon the mountains of Ar'arat. Noah sent out a raven and two doves to see if there was any dry land. When the earth was dry God called them all out of the ark. Noah built an altar, and offered burnt offerings to the Lord.

Gen 9: God blessed Noah and his sons, and set the rainbow as a token of the covenant  that he would never flood the earth again. Noah got drunk and Ham saw his nakedness. Noah cursed Ham's son Ca'naan to be a servant of servants.

Gen 10: The families and generations of Noah are written. The lands were divided into nations, by these families. Cush begat Nimrod and the beginning of his kingdom was Babel.

Gen 11: The whole earth was of one language and one speech. They began building a city and a great tower to reach into heaven for themselves. The Lord confused their languages so they could not understand each other, and scattered them abroad. The generations of Shem include Te'rah. Te'rah begat Abram who married Sarai,  Na'hor, and Ha'ran (father of Lot).

Gen 12: God told Abram to leave his father's house and country and go to a land where he would make him a great nation, bless him and make his name great. In Egypt Abram lied about Sarai, saying she was his sister, and Pharaoh was cursed.

Gen 13: Abram and Sarai left Egypt and went south with his nephew Lot. The land was not able to bear all the wealth of cattle, and flocks and herds and tents of Abram and Lot. They separated and Abram dwelled in the land of Ca'naan and Lot went to Sodom, where the men were wicked and sinners before the Lord.  The LORD promised Abram the land, and Abram moved to the plain of Ma'mre, in He'bron and built an alter unto the LORD.

Gen 14: The kings went to war. Lot was taken captive. Abram and his servants rescued Lot. King Melchizedek of Salem (the priest of the most high God) blessed Abram and Abram gave him tithes of everything.

Gen 15: The Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying Unto thy seed I have given this land. Abram was promised an heir and many descendants. He was told that they would be enslaved but would then return with great substance.

Gen 16:  Sarai was barren. Sarai told Abram to have children with Hagar, her Egyptian handmaid. Hagar conceived and became proud and despised Sarai. Sarai mistreated Hagar and Hagar ran away, but an angel sent her back. Hagar's son was named Ishmael.

Gen 17: God made a covenant with Abram saying that every manchild shall be circumcised, and that this  covenant shall be in your flesh for everlasting. God renamed him Abraham and renamed Sarai - Sarah. God promised them a son to be named Isaac. All the males were circumcised.
