Useful now to state how I intend to realize this aim to know & understand the Book of Genesis. It’s not a small book, containing 50 chapters, it covers a number of themes & accounts. These are presented as two primary divisions:

1. Primeval History – The Creation, Adam & Eve, The Fall, Sin, Genealogies of Pride & Death, Pre-Flood, The Flood, The Nations.

2. Patriarchal History – The Life & Descendants of Abraham, Ishmael, Jacob, Esau, Joseph.

My first reading of Genesis ran from the 13th to the 15th October 2001. After such a long period it will be most useful now that I make a straight through 'refresher' reading over the next 7 days. If I complete it then I’ll read it again. In the unlikely event I finish that, then I’ll just read it again. That’s my task for the following 7 days - to read the Book of Genesis with directed attention. To do this whilst self remembering. This is my aim.
