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
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
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 40 ⟶ 42:
{{tropelist|title=Genesis}}
* [[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 53 ⟶ 55:
* [[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.

* [[James Bondage]]: Lot
Line 72 ⟶ 74:
* [[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
* [[Parental Incest]]: Lot's daughters get him drunk and have sex with him. It's [[Squick|just as creepy]] as it sounds.

Line 78 ⟶ 80:
* [[Secret Test of Character]]: God telling Abraham to sacrifice Isaac.
* [[Self-Made Man]]: Abram does this so that no one can say "I made Abram rich".
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: Is the book literal or not? [[Internet Backdraft|Don't ask]].
▲* [[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.
