Abstract

The creation narrative in Genesis was not written to provide a how-to manual for how the earth was created. The creation narrative instead serves as a backdrop to the covenant that we are expected to keep.

The major covenant that forms the bedrock of the Old Testament is God’s covenant with His people the Israelites (as representatively given to the Israelites through Moses at Mt. Sinai).
