Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greek context, "genesis" was a term used to describe the origin or birth of gods, heroes, and significant figures in mythology. In the Jewish and Christian traditions, it is closely associated with the creation narrative found in the Book of Genesis, which details the origins of the world and humanity. The concept of genealogy was crucial in Jewish culture, as it established identity, heritage, and fulfillment of prophecies.
