It is not clear, however, what this meant to the original authors, and most modern commentators divide it into two parts based on subject matter, a ""primeval history"" (chapters 1–11) and a ""patriarchal history"" (chapters 12–50). While the first is far shorter than the second, it sets out the basic themes and provides an interpretive key for understanding the entire book. The ""primeval history"" has a symmetrical structure hinging on chapters 6–9, the flood story, with the events before the flood mirrored by the events after; the ""ancestral history"" is structured around the"
"Genesis creation narrative The Genesis creation narrative is the creation myth of both Judaism and Christianity. The narrative is made up of two stories, roughly equivalent to the first two chapters of the Book of Genesis. In the first, Elohim (the Hebrew generic word for God) creates the heavens and the earth in six days, then rests on, blesses and sanctifies the seventh. In the second story, God, now referred to by the personal name Yahweh, creates Adam, the first man, from dust and places him in the Garden of Eden, where he is given dominion over the animals. Eve,"

This is followed by the story of the three patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob), Joseph (Genesis 12–50) and the four matriarchs (Sarah, Rebekah, Leah, and Rachel).
