Summary of the Book of Genesis

Author: The author of the Book of Genesis is not identified. Traditionally, the author has always been assumed to have been Moses. There is no conclusive reason to deny the Mosaic authorship of Genesis.
창세기 요약
저자: 창세기의 저자는 밝혀지지 않았습니다. 전통적으로 창세기의 저자는 항상 모세라고 여겨져 왔습니다. 창세기의 모세 저작설을 부정할 결정적인 이유는 없습니다.

Date of Writing: The Book of Genesis does not state when it was written. The date of authorship is likely between 1440 and 1400 B.C., between the time Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and his death.
기록 날짜: 창세기는 언제 기록되었는지는 알려지지 않았습니다. 모세가 이스라엘 백성을 이끌고 이집트에서 탈출한 후 사망한 시점인 기원전 1440년에서 1400년 사이로 추정됩니다.

Purpose of Writing: The Book of Genesis has sometimes been called the "seed-plot" of the entire Bible. Most of the major doctrines in the Bible are introduced in "seed" form in the Book of Genesis. Along with the fall of man, God’s promise of salvation or redemption is recorded (Genesis 3:15). The doctrines of creation, imputation of sin, justification, atonement, depravity, wrath, grace, sovereignty, responsibility, and many more are all addressed in this book of origins called Genesis.
기록의 목적: 창세기는 성경 전체의 "씨앗 플롯(모판/온상)"이라고 불리기도 합니다. 성경의 주요 교리 대부분이 창세기에서 "씨앗/모태/근원" 형태로 소개됩니다. 인간의 타락과 함께 하나님의 구원 또는 구속에 대한 약속이 기록되어 있습니다(창세기 3:15). 창조, 죄의 전가, 칭의, 속죄, 타락, 진노, 은혜, 주권, 책임 등의 교리는 모두 창세기라는 기원의 책에서 다뤄지고 있습니다.

What does seed-plot mean?

seed-plot

A seed-plot is an old fashioned term for a seedbed, which is a piece of ground where seeds are sown to produce plants for transplanting1. It can also be used figuratively to mean a nursery or a hotbed of something2. For example, you could say that a university is a seed-plot of scholarship or innovation.

seed-plot 은 이식할 식물을 생산하기 위해 씨앗을 뿌리는 땅을 일컫는 모판의 옛말입니다. 또한 묘목장이나 무언가의 온상이라는 의미로 비유적으로 사용될 수도 있습니다. 예를 들어, 대학은 학문이나 혁신의 모판이라고 말할 수 있습니다.

Many of the great questions of life are answered in Genesis. (1) Where did I come from? (God created us - Genesis 1:1) (2) Why am I here? (we are here to have a relationship with God - Genesis 15:6) (3) Where am I going? (we have a destination after death - Genesis 25:8). Genesis appeals to the scientist, the historian, the theologian, the housewife, the farmer, the traveler, and the man or woman of God. It is a fitting beginning for God’s story of His plan for mankind, the Bible.
창세기에는 인생의 위대한 질문들에 대한 해답이 담겨 있습니다. (1) 나는 어디에서 왔는가? (하나님이 우리를 창조하셨다 - 창세기 1:1) (2) 나는 왜 여기에 있는가? (우리는 하나님과 관계를 맺기 위해 여기에 있습니다 - 창세기 15:6) (3) 나는 어디로 가는가? (우리에게는 죽음 이후의 목적지가 있습니다 - 창세기 25:8). 창세기는 과학자, 역사가, 신학자, 주부, 농부, 여행자, 하나님의 남자 또는 여자에게 호소력을 발휘합니다. 인류를 향한 하나님의 계획에 대한 이야기인 성경을 시작하기에 적합한 책입니다.

“the man or woman of God”
The phrase “the man or woman of God” is used in the Bible to describe someone who is faithful and obedient to God, and who represents him to others. It is a title of honor and respect, given to those who have a close relationship with God and serve him well. Some examples of people who are called “the man or woman of God” in the Bible are:

"하나님의 남자 또는 여자"
성경에서 "하나님의 남자 또는 여자"라는 표현은 하나님께 신실하고 순종하며 다른 사람들에게 하나님을 대표하는 사람을 묘사하는 데 사용됩니다. 이는 하나님과 친밀한 관계를 맺고 그분을 잘 섬기는 사람들에게 주어지는 명예와 존경의 칭호입니다. 성경에서 "하나님의 남자 또는 여자"라고 불리는 사람들의 몇 가지 예는 다음과 같습니다:

Moses, who led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and received the law from God on Mount Sinai (Deuteronomy 33:1)

Samuel, who was a prophet and judge over Israel, and who anointed the first two kings, Saul and David (1 Samuel 9:6)

Elijah, who performed many miracles and confronted the idolatrous king Ahab and his wicked wife Jezebel (1 Kings 17:18)

David, who was a shepherd, a warrior, a poet, and a king, and who was called “a man after God’s own heart” (Nehemiah 12:24)

Timothy, who was a young pastor and a faithful co-worker of the apostle Paul, and who received two letters from him with instructions and encouragement (1 Timothy 6:11)

모세, 이스라엘 백성을 이집트 노예 생활에서 이끌고 시내산에서 하나님으로부터 율법을 받은 사람(신명기 33:1)
사무엘, 이스라엘의 선지자이자 재판관이었으며 최초의 두 왕인 사울과 다윗에게 기름을 부은 사람(사무엘상 9:6)
많은 기적을 행하고 우상 숭배자인 아합 왕과 그의 사악한 아내 이세벨에 맞선 엘리야(열왕기상 17:18)
목자, 전사, 시인, 왕이었으며 "하나님의 마음에 합한 사람"(느헤미야 12:24)으로 불렸던 다윗.
디모데, 젊은 목회자이자 사도 바울의 신실한 동역자였으며, 바울로부터 두 통의 편지와 함께 가르침과 격려를 받았던 사람(딤전 6:11).

창세기 12:2-3, "내가 너로 큰 민족을 이루고 네게 복을 주어 네 이름을 창대케 하리니 너는 복이 될 것이다. 너를 축복하는 자에게는 내가 복을 내리고 너를 저주하는 자에게는 내가 저주하리니, 땅의 모든 족속이 너로 말미암아 복을 얻을 것이다."
창세기 50:20, "당신들은 나를 해하려 했지만, 하나님은 지금 하고 있는 일, 즉 많은 생명을 구하는 일을 이루기 위해 그것을 선으로 계획하셨습니다."

Brief Summary: The Book of Genesis can be divided into two sections: Primitive History and Patriarchal History. Primitive history records (1) Creation (Genesis chapters 1-2); (2) the Fall of man (Genesis chapters 3-5); (3) the Flood (Genesis chapters 6-9); and (4) the dispersion (Genesis chapters 10-11). Patriarchal history records the lives of four great men: (1) Abraham (Genesis 12-25:8); (2) Isaac (Genesis 21:1-35-29); (3) Jacob (Genesis 25:21-50:14); and (4) Joseph (Genesis 30:22-50:26).
간략한 요약: 창세기는 두 부분으로 나눌 수 있습니다: 원시 역사와 족장 역사. 원시 역사는 (1) 창조(창세기 1-2장), (2) 인간의 타락(창세기 3-5장), (3) 홍수(창세기 6-9장), (4) 흩어짐(창세기 10-11장)을 기록합니다. 족장 역사는 (1) 아브라함(창세기 12-25:8), (2) 이삭(창세기 21:1-35-29), (3) 야곱(창세기 25:21-50:14), (4) 요셉(창세기 30:22-50:26)의 네 위인의 생애를 기록합니다.

God created a universe that was good and free from sin. God created humanity to have a personal relationship with Him. Adam and Eve sinned and thereby brought evil and death into the world. Evil increased steadily in the world until there was only one family in which God found anything good. God sent the Flood to wipe out evil, but delivered Noah and his family along with the animals in the Ark. After the Flood, humanity began again to multiply and spread throughout the world.
하나님은 선하고 죄가 없는 우주를 창조하셨습니다. 하나님은 인류를 창조하여 그분과 인격적인 관계를 맺도록 하셨습니다. 아담과 이브는 죄를 짓고 세상에 악과 죽음을 가져왔습니다. 하나님이 선한 것을 발견한 가정이 단 한 가정에 불과할 때까지 세상에 악은 꾸준히 증가했습니다. 하나님께서는 악을 없애기 위해 홍수를 보내셨지만, 노아와 그의 가족은 방주 안의 동물들과 함께 구해내셨어요. 홍수 이후 인류는 다시 번성하여 전 세계로 퍼져나가기 시작했어요.

God chose Abraham, through whom He would create a chosen people and eventually the promised Messiah. The chosen line was passed on to Abraham’s son Isaac, and then to Isaac’s son Jacob. God changed Jacob’s name to Israel, and his twelve sons became the ancestors of the twelve tribes of Israel. In His sovereignty, God had Jacob’s son Joseph sent to Egypt by the despicable actions of Joseph’s brothers. This act, intended for evil by the brothers, was intended for good by God and eventually resulted in Jacob and his family being saved from a devastating famine by Joseph, who had risen to great power in Egypt.
하나님은 아브라함을 선택하셨고, 그를 통해 선민을 만들고 결국 약속된 메시야를 만드셨습니다. 선택받은 혈통은 아브라함의 아들 이삭에게, 그리고 이삭의 아들 야곱에게로 이어졌습니다. 하나님께서는 야곱의 이름을 이스라엘로 바꾸셨고, 그의 열두 아들은 이스라엘 열두 지파의 조상이 되었습니다. 하나님께서는 하나님의 주권으로 요셉의 형들의 비열한 행동으로 야곱의 아들 요셉을 애굽으로 보내셨습니다. 형들이 악을 목적으로 한 이 행위는 하나님의 선하신 뜻이었고, 결국 야곱과 그의 가족은 이집트에서 큰 권력을 잡은 요셉에 의해 엄청난 기근에서 구원을 받게 되었습니다.

Foreshadowings: Many New Testament themes have their roots in Genesis. Jesus Christ is the Seed of the woman who will destroy Satan’s power (Gen. 3:15). As with Joseph, God’s plan for the good of mankind through the sacrifice of His Son was intended for good, even though those who crucified Jesus intended it for evil. Noah and his family are the first of many remnants pictured in the Bible. Despite overwhelming odds and difficult circumstances, God always preserves a remnant of the faithful for Himself. The remnant of Israelites returned to Jerusalem after the Babylonian captivity; God preserved a remnant through all the persecutions described in Isaiah and Jeremiah; a remnant of 7,000 priests were hidden from the wrath of Jezebel; God promises that a remnant of Jews will one day embrace their true Messiah (Romans 11). The faith displayed by Abraham would be the gift of God and the basis of salvation for both Jew and Gentile (Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 11).
예표: 신약의 많은 주제는 창세기에 그 뿌리를 두고 있습니다. 예수 그리스도는 사탄의 권세를 멸망시킬 여자의 씨입니다(창 3:15). 요셉과 마찬가지로, 예수님을 십자가에 못 박은 자들이 악을 의도했지만 아들의 희생을 통해 인류의 선을 위한 하나님의 계획은 선을 위한 것이었습니다. 노아와 그의 가족은 성경에 묘사된 많은 남은 자들 중 첫 번째 인물입니다. 압도적인 확률과 어려운 상황에도 불구하고 하나님은 항상 자신을 위해 신실한 남은 자들을 보존하십니다. 바벨론 포로기 이후 예루살렘으로 돌아온 이스라엘의 남은 자들, 이사야와 예레미야에 묘사된 모든 박해 속에서도 하나님은 남은 자들을 보존하셨고, 이세벨의 진노를 피해 숨어 있던 7,000명의 제사장들, 언젠가 유대인의 남은 자들이 참된 메시아를 받아들일 것이라고 약속하셨습니다(롬 11장). 아브라함이 보여준 믿음은 하나님의 선물이자 유대인과 이방인 모두에게 구원의 기초가 될 것입니다(에베소서 2:8~9, 히브리서 11장).

Practical Application: The overriding theme of Genesis is God’s eternal existence and His creation of the world. There is no effort on the part of the author to defend the existence of God; he simply states that God is, always was, and always will be, almighty over all. In the same way, we have confidence in the truths of Genesis, despite the claims of those who would deny them. All people, regardless of culture, nationality or language, are accountable to the Creator. But because of sin, introduced into the world at the Fall, we are separated from Him. But through one small nation, Israel, God’s redemptive plan for mankind was revealed and made available to all. We rejoice in that plan.
실제 적용: 창세기의 가장 중요한 주제는 하나님의 영원한 존재와 그분의 세계 창조입니다. 저자는 하나님의 존재를 변호하기 위해 어떤 노력도 기울이지 않고, 그저 하나님은 전능하시고, 항상 계셨고, 앞으로도 전능하실 것이라고 말합니다. 마찬가지로 창세기의 진리를 부정하는 사람들의 주장에도 불구하고 우리는 창세기의 진리에 대한 확신을 가지고 있습니다. 문화, 국적, 언어에 관계없이 모든 사람은 창조주께 책임을 져야 합니다. 그러나 타락과 함께 세상에 들어온 죄로 인해 우리는 그분과 분리되어 있습니다. 그러나 이스라엘이라는 작은 나라를 통해 인류를 향한 하나님의 구속 계획이 드러났고 모든 사람이 그 계획을 누릴 수 있게 되었습니다. 우리는 그 계획을 기뻐합니다.

God created the universe, the earth, and every living being. We can trust Him to handle the concerns in our lives. God can take a hopeless situation, e.g. Abraham and Sarah being childless, and do amazing things if we will simply trust and obey. Terrible and unjust things may happen in our lives, as with Joseph, but God will always bring about a greater good if we have faith in Him and His sovereign plan. “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28).
하나님은 우주와 지구, 그리고 모든 생명체를 창조하셨습니다. 우리는 그분이 우리 삶의 문제를 처리해 주실 것을 신뢰할 수 있습니다. 하나님은 아브라함과 사라가 아이를 갖지 못하는 절망적인 상황에서도 우리가 신뢰하고 순종하기만 하면 놀라운 일을 행하실 수 있습니다. 요셉처럼 우리 삶에서 끔찍하고 불의한 일이 일어날 수도 있지만, 하나님과 그분의 주권적인 계획에 대한 믿음이 있다면 하나님은 항상 더 큰 선을 이루실 것입니다. "우리가 알거니와 하나님을 사랑하는 자 곧 그 뜻대로 부르심을 입은 자들에게는 모든 것이 합력하여 선을 이루느니라"(로마서 8:28).

Genesis Summary
by Jay Smith

성경 요약
창세기 요약
by 제이 스미스

The genre of Genesis is a *** Narrative History, and Genealogies. It was written by Moses about 1450-1410 B.C. Key personalities include Adam, Eve, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, and Joseph. This book was written to record God’s creation of the world and to demonstrate His love for all that He created.

창세기의 장르는 내러티브(이야기체) 역사, 족보입니다. 창세기는 기원전 1450~1410년경 모세가 썼으며 주요 인물로는 아담, 이브, 노아, 아브라함, 사라, 이삭, 리브가, 야곱, 요셉 등이 있습니다. 이 책은 하나님의 세계 창조를 기록하고 그분이 창조하신 모든 것에 대한 그분의 사랑을 보여주기 위해 기록되었습니다.

Genesis is the first book of the Law and also the first book of the entire Bible. The name Genesis literally means “In the Beginning”. It explains the actual events of one of the most debated subjects of our current day...the origin of life. Genesis describes the Lord God, who is infinite and all-powerful, creating everything that exists, by the power of His spoken Word, out of nothing. He essentially creates material matter out of nonmaterial nothing.

창세기는 율법의 첫 번째 책이자 성경 전체의 첫 번째 책이기도 합니다. 창세기라는 이름은 문자 그대로 "태초에"라는 뜻입니다. 창세기는 오늘날 가장 논쟁의 여지가 많은 주제 중 하나인 생명의 기원에 대한 실제 사건을 설명합니다. 창세기는 무한하고 전능하신 주 하나님이 말씀의 능력으로 무에서 유를 창조하신 이야기를 담고 있습니다. 그분은 본질적으로 비물질적인 무에서 물질적인 유를 창조하십니다.

•    In chapters 1-11:28, Moses explains the creation of all things, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (1:1). He quickly switches to the fall of man in sin and separation from God in chapter 3; then, how God implemented His judgment on the wicked earth. Through a universal flood and by selecting and sparing Noah, a faithful man, and his family, God wipes out humanity and starts again, with one secluded family.

- 1장~11장 28절에서 모세는 "태초에 하나님이 천지를 창조하셨다"(1:1)며 만물의 창조를 설명합니다. 모세는 곧바로 3장에서 인간이 죄로 타락하여 하나님과 분리된 후, 하나님께서 어떻게 악한 땅에 심판을 내리셨는지를 설명합니다. 하나님은 우주적인 홍수를 통해, 그리고 신실한 사람인 노아와 그의 가족을 선택해 살리심으로써 인류를 전멸시키고 외딴 한 가정과 함께 다시 시작하십니다.

•    From chapters 11:28-36, God begins to carry out His plan of redemption in the beginning stages of establishing His own nation of Israel. It is through Abraham, again one faithful man, which God calls and promises to bless with a multitude of people and through them bless the entire world, "...and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed" (12:3).

- 11장 28~36절에서 하나님께서는 이스라엘 민족을 세우는 초기 단계에서 구속의 계획을 실행하기 시작하십니다. 하나님께서는 충실한 한 사람 아브라함을 통해 수많은 사람들을 부르시고 그들을 통해 온 세상을 축복하시겠다고 약속하십니다: "...땅의 모든 족속이 너로 말미암아 복을 받으리라"(12:3).

•    In chapters 37-50 God faithfully raises up and protects the generations from Abraham as He had promised, all the way through unto Joseph while in Egypt. God blesses Abraham’s son and their son’s. Through their disappointments and failures, He displays His power and sovereignty in their lives; but in at the end of the book of Genesis, God’s people are in a foreign land and wondering about the promise land.

- 37~50장에서 하나님께서는 약속하신 대로 아브라함부터 애굽에 있는 요셉에 이르기까지 모든 세대를 신실하게 일으키시고 보호하십니다. 하나님께서는 아브라함의 아들과 그들의 아들을 축복하십니다. 그들의 실망과 실패를 통해 하나님의 능력과 주권을 그들의 삶 속에서 보여 주시는데, 창세기 말미에 하나님의 백성들은 이방 땅에서 약속의 땅을 갈망하고 있습니다.

*** narrative

(질문)

What's the narrative in the Bible?

성경에 나오는 narrative는 무엇인가요?

(답변)

The narrative in the Bible is the story of God and his people, from creation to the end of the world. It is the most common genre of biblical literature, making up about 40% of the Bible1. The narrative teaches us God’s truth, plan, and character through the events and characters of history. The narrative is not just a collection of facts, but a way of revealing God’s purpose and will for his people.

성경의 내러티브는 창조부터 세상의 종말까지 하나님과 그의 백성에 관한 이야기입니다. 내러티브는 성경의 약 40%를 차지하는 성경 문학의 가장 일반적인 장르입니다1. 내러티브는 역사의 사건과 인물을 통해 하나님의 진리, 계획, 성품을 가르쳐 줍니다. 내러티브는 단순한 사실의 집합이 아니라 하나님의 백성을 향한 하나님의 목적과 뜻을 드러내는 방식입니다.

The narrative of the Bible can be divided into four main parts: Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration2. Creation tells us how God made the world and everything in it, and how he created humans in his image to rule over and care for his creation. Fall tells us how humans rebelled against God and brought sin and death into the world, and how God judged and disciplined them. Redemption tells us how God chose a people for himself, Israel, and made a covenant with them, and how he sent his Son, Jesus, to save them and the whole world from sin and death. Restoration tells us how God will renew his creation and bring his people into his eternal kingdom, where there will be no more sin, sorrow, or pain.

성경의 이야기는 크게 네 부분으로 나눌 수 있습니다: 창조, 타락, 구속, 회복2. 창조는 하나님께서 세상과 그 안에 있는 모든 것을 어떻게 만드셨는지, 그리고 자신의 형상대로 인간을 창조하여 피조물을 다스리고 돌보게 하셨는지를 알려줍니다. 타락은 인간이 어떻게 하나님을 거역하고 죄와 죽음을 세상에 가져왔는지, 그리고 하나님께서 어떻게 그들을 심판하고 징계하셨는지를 알려줍니다. 구속은 하나님께서 어떻게 이스라엘이라는 한 민족을 택하시고 그들과 언약을 맺으셨는지, 그리고 어떻게 그들과 온 세상을 죄와 죽음에서 구원하시기 위해 그의 아들 예수님을 보내셨는지를 알려줍니다. 회복은 하나님께서 어떻게 그의 창조 세계를 새롭게 하시고 그의 백성을 더 이상 죄와 슬픔과 고통이 없는 영원한 왕국으로 인도하실지 알려줍니다.

The narrative of the Bible is not always in chronological order, but sometimes arranged by themes or topics. For example, the books of Chronicles retell the history of Israel from a different perspective than the books of Samuel and Kings. The Gospels present four different accounts of the life and ministry of Jesus, each highlighting different aspects of his identity and mission. The book of Revelation uses symbolic language and imagery to describe the future events of God’s judgment and salvation.

성경의 이야기는 항상 연대순이 아니라 주제나 주제별로 배열되는 경우도 있습니다. 예를 들어 역대기는 사무엘서나 열왕기서와는 다른 관점에서 이스라엘의 역사를 재조명합니다. 복음서는 예수의 생애와 사역에 대한 네 가지 다른 기록을 제시하며, 각각 예수의 정체성과 사명에 대한 다른 측면을 강조합니다. 요한계시록은 상징적인 언어와 이미지를 사용하여 하나님의 심판과 구원의 미래 사건을 묘사합니다.

The narrative of the Bible is not meant to be read as a textbook or a newspaper, but as a story that invites us to enter into God’s world and relate to him and his people. To understand and apply the narrative, we need to pay attention to the literary features, such as plot, setting, characters, dialogue, and point of view. We also need to consider the historical and cultural context, the author’s purpose and audience, and the connection to the rest of the Bible. Most importantly, we need to ask what the narrative reveals about God and his relationship with us, and how it challenges us to respond to him in faith and obedience. 

성경의 내러티브는 교과서나 신문처럼 읽어야 하는 것이 아니라, 하나님의 세계로 들어가 그분과 그분의 백성과 관계를 맺도록 우리를 초대하는 이야기입니다. 이야기를 이해하고 적용하려면 줄거리, 설정, 등장인물, 대화, 관점 등 문학적 특징에 주의를 기울여야 합니다. 또한 역사적, 문화적 맥락, 저자의 목적과 청중, 성경의 다른 부분과의 연관성도 고려해야 합니다. 가장 중요한 것은 내러티브가 하나님과 우리와 그분의 관계에 대해 무엇을 계시하는지, 그리고 믿음과 순종으로 그분께 응답하도록 어떻게 도전하는지 질문해야 한다는 것입니다.
