Book of Genesis.

[BIeed]

I have to read the Book of Genesis for AP English and I was just wondering if anyone knows if they still have the original version. Im reading the King James version but I have no idea if the original is still around. This might be a common known thing but im not sure cause I'm Jewish and I was never really interested in the Bible, Torah, and whatever other holy books there are. I've heard they've been revised so many times, I don't know any reason to voluntarily read any of them. So, is the old one still around? =]

Burning the Bible eh? That's a one way ticket to Hell. =D

Well fireword is mighty expensive now days, and the trees in the back are to big to cut down.

Seeing how decorative your Sig is you could have used that bible for paper, though I doubt it will last long. =]

The original is in Hebrew... and not even modern-day Hebrew. Biblical Hebrew has no notation for vowels. The earliest translation of that was probably in Greek. I'm assuming you read neither, so, no matter what you get, there will ALWAYS be subtilities that are lost in translation.

The closest English translation you could possibly get would probably be in a Chumash.

Dude bibles were intended to be used for rolling paper why do you think there are like 10 blank pages in the front.

That's a waste of decent rolling paper.

Pretty neat be sure to read it and absorb the greatness within it

Although I strongly disagree with Christianity and don't believe in Jesus Christ, God Dammit.... They knew how to write good stories in the Old Testament.

What is the Genesis exactly?
Isn't it the actual bible itself as a whole?

It's embarrassing that I actually laughed.

Here's an online version of the Bible. You can select which version you want to read in a dropdown list so it might have what you want.

I wish there was a book of Genesis...
