Is there a book before Genesis?
Some scholars believe the book of Job to be written before Genesis. However, if speaking about the time of the events then Genesis comes first. Well, actually, the intro in John would come first then Genesis. Go see the book of John for yourself to see what I'm talking about.
Who was The Book of Genesis written to?
What a number of scholars have suggested, as Bible followers have always realized, is that Moses likely was the final editor or redactor of the Genesis material and in the case of the earliest records it is clear that there was an intention to preserve a record of the earliest events of earth history, which certainly explains the presence of the genealogical records as well as the record of the 'table of nations' and the Babel dispersion. There was also the intention to provide a record of the origin of the Hebrew nation which then gave them identity as they came out of Egypt. So Moses likely connected the events in terms of the nation in Egypt with the earlier records of the patriarchs. This was done in terms of chronology and so connected the nation of Israel about to leave Egypt with their patriarchal predecessors. In the setting suggested by what we know of Moses' chronology, and that the book of Genesis was indeed addressed to the fledgling nation of Israel.
Where did the book of Genesis come from?
The book of Genesis gives no specific indication as to its origin. Up until around 200 years ago almost everyone accepted Moses as the author. Since that time many have challenged this on the basis of alleged linguistic differences, and other considerations. This whole scheme known as the Documentary Hypothesis or JEDP Theory proposes multiple unknown authors for Genesis as well as the rest of the Pentateuch. It is important to realize that, due to more recent scholarship much of the details of this theory have been undermined and so there is a general trend away from it in scholarly circles. One presupposition, no longer tenable was that Moses could not have written the book of Genesis (along with the other 4 books) because writing was not developed. The finding of extensive libraries and literary works from before the time of Abraham disprove this theory. Further to this, the finding of such works has led some to propose Abraham as a possible author for much of the earliest material, which Moses himself could not have known directly. Others have suggested that ABraham wrote much of Genesis and Moses was the final editor around the time of the Exodus in 1440-1400 BC. Others have noted the use of 'toledoth phrases' to mark the end of particular subject areas thus suggesting that this material was on tablets, the phrases marking the end of each section and also of an indicator of the subject matter on each tablet. In any case, neither of the authors suggested is impossible, with both being distinct possibilities. Most certainly, it is impossible to rule them out in any factual way.

Was the seventh book of Moses discarded from the Bible?
A:No: there was no seventh book of Moses. The first five books of the Bible are traditionally ascribed to Moses, although biblical scholars say that atribution is not really true. There are other writings ascribed to Moses, including the "Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses", which purport to explain the magic whereby Moses won the biblical magic contest with the Egyptian priest-magicians, parted the Red Sea and performed other miraculous feats. Moses wrote no book that has come down to us today, and certainly no sixth or seventh book. No such book was ever considered for inclusion in the Bible.

Who wrote Genesis and Exodus first chapters in Bible?
Most scholars believe that Moses wrote Genesis and Exodus. In fact it is believed that Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible, which is called the Torah, or the law.Answer:While the Bible tells us that its books are "inspired by God" (II Tim.3:16)... it would be pretty far-fetched to believe that Moses was inspired with all the genealogical information and, in some cases, details he packed into parts of the Genesis account of the pre-flood world.It makes more sense that Noah, in the 120 years he had to build and prepare the ark, packed a few "sentimental personal items" as anyone would do... and more than likely (with instructions from God?) a few historical documents to carry across the flood with him.For instance, the book of Enoch is still spoken of today... though some scoff, others believe. Meanwhile, did Abel write anything? How about Noah, himself... or a member of his family?God would have seen to it that these documents would have been preserved and protected... like the rest of the books of the Bible.They would have come under the protection of whatever authorities and government systems that came after the flood. It is reasonable to believe that Egypt would have eventually come into possession of Noah's documents in the course of time... as Egypt developed an extensive library.By Moses' day, Egypt was the world-ruling empire. And as circumstances developed... Moses became the "adopted son of Pharaoh." He received the highest education of his day in Egypt learning to read and write... and studying ancient documents.When the Israelites departed from Egypt after God had utterly destroyed its economy... they "spoiled" Egypt and took anything and everything they wanted."...the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that THEY LENT UNTO THEM SUCH THINGS AS THEY REQUIRED. And they spoiled the Egyptians." (Ex.12:36)Might Moses (as instructed by the Lord) "required" a few choice documents from the Egyptian library to take with him... for certain information they contained, that Moses would need for a writing job God had for him to do, later?Just a thought.It is generally understood today that Moses was the author of the first five books of the Bible (the last of which had to be completed by someone else, since Moses disappeared when God took him and buried him in an undisclosed location - Deut.34:5-6).But it only makes sense that had to have a little help from some first-hand information and documentation from some pre-flood authors for the book of Genesis, at least.
