The Foundation of Divine Revelation. Genesis is the seed-plot of the whole Bible. It is essential to the true understanding of its every part. It is the foundation on which Divine Revelation rests; and on which it is built up. It is not only the foundation of all Truth, but it enters into, and forms part of all subsequent inspiration; and is at once the warp and woof of Holy Writ. Genesis is quoted or referred to sixty times in the New Testament; and Divine authority is set like a seal on its historical facts. See Matt. 19:4-6; 24:37-39. Mark 7:4, 10; 10:3-8. Luke 11:49-51; 17:26-29, 32. John 1:51; 7:21-23; 8:44-56. It, and the Book of the Law, of which it forms part, are ascribed to
Moses. See Deut. 31:9, 10, 24-26. Josh. 1:7; 8:32, 35; 23:6.
1Kin. 2:3. 2Kin. 14:6; 23:25. 2Chron. 23:18; 30:16; 34:14.
