First book of ''[[The Bible]]''. Author unknown.
 
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 WomenWoman's children make sacrificedsacrifices 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...so nothat reallymen clearwouldn't reasonbecome like God.
 
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 maidserventmaidservant (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.

Sarah conceives the child and births him, at the same time Ishmael is born. As a test of character, God tells Abraham sacrifice his son and he goes through with it without hesitation, only to be stopped in the nick of time by an angel.

* [[Adam and Eve Plot]]: The trope namer [[This Index Is Not an Example|isn't exactly an example]] (being the first, not the last, man and woman), but the passengers of Noah's Ark are.
Line 82 ⟶ 84:
* [[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.
