Line 4:
God creates the heaven and the earth, creates man, creates woman from man, woman eats from tree of knowledge of good and evil, man is banished from paradise. Man and Women's children make sacrificed to God, Cain tries to cheat God and doesn't get rewarded for his sacrifice, Cain, pissed, murders his brother and is cursed to wander. Cain's decedents create the first city while Adam and Eve have Seth, who eventually leads to Noah.
 
God briefly angsts over having created an Earth that has come to Sin and decides to start anew by flooding the Earth for 40 days and 40 nights (the water remains for 150 days total). God commands Noah to build an ark to store the animals to repopulate the Earth. Noah's decedents try to make a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, God spreads them around the Earth and separates their languages for... no really clear reason.
 
God sends Abram to found a nation and takes his wife and nephew Lot with him. After a quick stop in Egypt and acquiring great wealth there Lot and Abram split up. Lot is kidnapped and his possessions stolen after the city he is living in is looted in war, so Abram comes with 318 soldiers to rescue him and his stuff. Abram, unable to have a child with his wife (at ~90), has a child with her maidservent (the child become Ishmael), but God allows him to have a child with his wife (who is named Isaac). God deems Sodom to be full of sin and sends two angels to destroy it. Lot is led out of the city along with his two daughters, but his wife looks back at (goes back to?) the city as it is being destroyed and is turned to salt.
Line 53:
* [[Cool Boat]]: Noah's Ark has 3 decks, space for 2 every animal (6 in the case of birds), Noah, his sons and their wives and food for all of them.
* [[Curse of Babel]]
* [[Dub -Induced Plot Hole]]: The age of the earth is never given in Hebrew, the figure given is a creation of the translation team of King James the 1st of England.
* [[Doorstopper]]: [[It Got Worse|It's only the first book in a collection of books]]
* [[Flaming Sword]]: The Cherub wield such.
* [[For the Lulz]]: Seems to be God's motive for separating the humans and their languages, or it's a test. Either way God isn't really clear why he does it.
* [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!]]: Sarah is still considered beautiful by Abimelech (king of Gerar) at over 90 years old.
* [[James Bondage]]: Lot
Line 72:
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: "The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame"
* [[Offscreen Villainy]]: It isn't said why God finds Er wicked.
* [[Opposite SexGender Clone]]: Eve.
* [[Parental Incest]]: Lot's daughters get him drunk and have sex with him. It's [[Squick|just as creepy]] as it sounds.
* [["Previously On..."]]: Genesis 39:1 notes what happens 2 chapters ago.
Line 79:
* [[Self-Made Man]]: Abram does this so that no one can say "I made Abram rich".
* [[The Punishment]]: Given to Cain for creating murder.
* [[Tower of Babel]]: Duh.
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: Is the book literal or not? [[Internet Backdraft|Don't ask]].
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: Cain is cursed to wander forever. If the "live forever" part comes from being a pre-great flood human (who are noted as living in excess of 900 years) or as part of the curse is unclear.
