THE Book called Genesis, written by Moses by divine inspiration, is derived from the Greek word yéveois, signifying generation, creation, or beginning. In Hebrew it is called Bereshith, from its first word, the meaning of which is the same. It is so called, because it contains the history of the creation of the world, and the genealogy of the patriarchs. It comprises a period of 2369 years, and contains several remarkable prophecies relating to the Messiah.

And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." Gen. xii. 1, 2, 3.

“Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judæa, in the days of Herod the king, behold there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
