books of Moses, itself an introduction to the complete Bible. That means
Gen.1 cannot be read without referring to the rest of the Bible.
I agree with the idea of the first five books. But if we must study the
entire bible to understand Genesis, then how did Moses and his bunch, with
just the first five, understand it? I am 100% sure that the first five alone
will accomplish the task but it is helpful to read the rest at least for
interpretation.
