Genesis and the Hebrew Bible While it is certainly true that the Book of Genesis in the Christian Bible corresponds exactly to the book named Bereshit in the Hebrew Bible I think it is incorrect to say that the story of the Ark is contained in the Hebrew Bible s book of Genesis chapters 6 to 9 If you are going to reference the Hebrew Bible call it Bereshit but because that name is lesser known I think it is better to say it is contained in the Christian Bible s book of Genesis or better still contained in the Bible s book of Genesis since it is in both the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Bible I d change it myself but I d rather not have to fight down the objections so I m explaining it instead Talk You make a good point I ll change it to the biblical book of Genesis Someone s already done it
