Introduction

The Book of Beginnings serves as an introduction to all of Scripture. This book justifies its name, because it tells about the very beginning of the world and humanity, created by the Almighty perfect (ch. 1-2); about the beginning of sin, which entered the world as a result of the disobedience of the first people (ch. 3); and about the beginning of the embodiment of the plan of the Almighty to save mankind from sin. When the first people, Adam and Eve, disobeyed the commands of the Most High, they lost the most important thing they had: a close relationship with the Most High (3:8). But the Almighty, in His mercy, promised that in the future a Savior (i.e., Isa Masih) would be born, who would be a descendant of Eve. He will crush Satan, who deceived Adam and Eve in the form of a serpent, and free the world from the curse of sin (3:15). Preparing for the coming of the Savior is the main theme of this book.

Although in subsequent generations most people fell into serious sins, not obeying the Almighty, and received a well-deserved punishment (for example, 6:5-7), there were those who recognized the Creator and truly worshiped Him. One such person was Prophet Ibrahim, an elderly and childless man from a family of idolaters (see Joshua 24:2), who was called by the Almighty to leave his family and country and follow Him (12:1). The Almighty made a sacred agreement with him and promised to give him the land of Canaan and numerous offspring, through which all the nations of the world would be blessed (12:2-3; 15:4-7; 17:8). In Injil we see the fulfillment of these promises through Isa Masih, a descendant of Ibrahim: By His atoning sacrifice, He opened the way to salvation from sin for all the peoples of the earth (see Matt. 1:1; Rom. 4; Gal. 3:6-14).

The prophet Ibrahim indeed had many sons (16:15; 21:1–3; 25:1–2), but, according to the word of the Almighty, only one of them, Ishak, was the heir to the sacred agreement (17:19). However, the Almighty also blessed the son of Ibrahim Ismail, promising to produce from him a great nation (17:20). The next heir to the sacred covenant was Yakub, the youngest son of Ishaq (25:23; 27:27–29). And the twelve sons of Yakub gave rise to the twelve clans of the people of Israel (49:1-28). The most famous among his brothers was Yusuf, who remained faithful to the Almighty in all the great trials that fell to his lot. The Almighty chose him to save the whole family from hunger (ch. 37; 39-45). The book ends with the fact that the whole family of Yakub moves to Egypt, which does not seem to correspond to the fulfillment of the promises of the Almighty. In fact, it was a necessary stage in the fulfillment of the plan of the Almighty (ch. 46).

The book The Beginning describes historical events from the moment of the creation of the world until approximately the first half of the 2nd millennium BC. e.

world creation

1 In the beginning, the Most High a created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was empty and faceless, darkness was over the abyss, and the Spirit of the Most High hovered over the waters.

3 And the Most High said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 The Most High saw that the light was good and separated it from the darkness. 5 He called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning - the first day.

6 And the Most High said: “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 The Most High created the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it; and it became so. 8 And He called the vault "heaven." And there was evening, and there was morning - the second day.

9 And the Most High said: “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together, and let the dry land appear.” And it became so. 10 He called the dry land "land", and the collected water called "seas". And God saw that it was good. 11 And He said, "Let the earth bring forth vegetation, plants with their seeds, and various kinds of trees on the earth that bear fruit with a seed within." And it became so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation: different kinds of plants bearing seed, and all kinds of trees bearing fruit with seed within. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.

14 And the Most High said: “Let there be lights in the firmament to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to distinguish times, days and years, 15 and let them be lamps in the firmament of heaven to shine on the earth.” And it became so. 16 The Almighty created two great luminaries - a large luminary to control the day, and a small luminary to control the night, and He also created the stars. 17 The Almighty placed them in the vault of heaven, so that they would shine on the earth, 18 control the day and night and separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.

20 And the Almighty said: “Let the water be filled with living creatures, and let birds fly over the earth in the sky.” 21 The Almighty created huge sea creatures, different types of moving living creatures swarming in the water, and different types of winged birds. And he saw that it was good. 22 The Most High blessed them and said: “Be fruitful and multiply, fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.” 23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.

The Eastern translation of the Bible is intended for the people of Central Asia and other peoples who were formerly part of the former Soviet Union. These residents know Russian, although they belong to Islamic ethnic groups.

Due to Russian and Soviet influence in the past, millions of indigenous people in the Central Asian region now speak (and millions more can read) Russian as their mother tongue. Many of the small ethnic groups who are still waiting for the full version of Scripture in their language also understand and can read Russian.

Holy Bible. The semantic translation of Taurat, the Book of the Prophets, Zabur and Injil - Reference material for the book of Genesis

The "Beginning" serves as an introduction to all of Scripture. This part of the Taurat says that the Almighty created the Universe and everything in it, including man (ch.1-2). And everything that the Almighty created was perfect and sinless (1:31). But He gave mankind a choice: to obey Him or not (2:16-17). When Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden rebelled against the Most High, disobeying Him, the entire creation fell under the power of sin and ended up in a deplorable state. So man lost the most basic and most valuable thing he had: a close relationship with the Almighty (3:8). Nevertheless, the Almighty promised salvation in the future (3:15) - the descendant of Eve (i.e. Isa Masih) was to come to strike the head of the serpent (i.e. Satan), who deceived the first people and led them into sin.

Due to the fact that humanity is more and more mired in sins, the Almighty destroyed all people in the waters of the flood (7:4), except for the righteous Nuh and his family (ch. 6-8). But despite such a terrible, but well-deserved punishment, humanity again fell into sin and rejected the Almighty (11:1-9). Therefore, the Almighty began to prepare the way for the Savior Masih. He called the prophet Ibrahim, an elderly and childless man born into a family that worshiped idols (Book of the Prophets, Yesh. 24:2), to leave the gods of his family and native country and follow Him (12:1).

The Almighty promised to give him and his descendants the land of Canaan (present-day Palestine), make his offspring as numerous as the stars in the sky, and bless all the nations of the world through him (12:3; 15:4-5; 17:8). The Injil speaks of the final fulfillment of these promises. First, Gd expanded the Promised Land from tiny Canaan to a Kingdom that now encompasses the entire world (Beginnings 17:16; 28:14; Song of Zabur 2:8; Injil, Rom. 4:13; Rev. 21:1 -4; 22-27).

Secondly, all the followers of Isa are, on the basis of their faith, the spiritual children of the prophet Ibrahim (Injil, Rom. 4:16-17; Gal. 3:29). And finally, the descendant of Ibrahim Isa is a blessing for the peoples of the whole world, who freed from the burden of sin all those who accept Him by faith (Injil, Gal. 3:14, 16; Rom. 6:1-7; Rev. 5:9-10) .

The prophet Ibrahim had many sons, but nevertheless, the relationship based on the Sacred Agreement with the Almighty was established with only one of them - Ishak (17:19). The Almighty also blessed Ismail, promising to make him a great nation (17:20).

And later, Yakub, the youngest son of Ishak, became the heir to the relationship based on the Agreement with the Almighty (25:23; 27:27-29). And although the descendants of Yakub, as members of the people of Israel, were among those to whom the promise of the Almighty referred, nevertheless Yusuf becomes the most famous among his brothers (Beginnings 48:15-16; 49:26; Book of the Prophets, 1 Years 5: 1-2). The narrative ends with Yaqub and his family moving from the Promised Land of Canaan to Egypt to avoid starvation. This move may seem like a deviation from the path of the Almighty, which led to the fulfillment of the promise given by the Almighty to the prophet Ibrahim, but it is not (46:1-4).

The "Beginning" describes the historical events that took place from the moment of creation to the middle of the 2nd millennium BC. e.

Word becomes Man

1 In the beginning was the Word# 1:1 Word - one of the names of Isa Masih (see 1:14; Rev. 19:13).,

and the Word was with the Most High,

and the Word was Most High.

2 It was in the beginning with the Almighty.

3 Everything that exists

was created through Him,

and without Him nothing of what is,

did not come into existence.

4 In Him is life,

and this life is the Light of mankind.

5 Light shines in darkness

and the darkness did not swallow him.

6 The Almighty sent a man named Yahya.7 He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that thanks to him everyone would believe in this Light.8 He himself was not the Light, but came to testify of the Light.

9 There was a true Light

Who enlightens every person,

coming into the world# 1:9 Or: "There was a true Light coming into the world, which enlightens every person.".

10 He was in the world that was created through Him,

but the world did not recognize Him.

11 He came to His people

but the people did not receive him.

12 But to all those who received it

and who believed in him# 1:12 Lit.: "in His name." To believe in someone's name means to believe in the very bearer of that name, in this case, to believe in Isa Masih. Also at 2:23.,

He gave the power to become children of the Most High -

13 children not born of blood,

not from the desires or intentions of a person,

and born of the Most High# 1:13 This refers to spiritual birth through faith in Isa Masih (cf. 1:12; 1 John 5:1)..

14 The Word became Man

and lived among us.

We have seen His glory

the glory that only He is endowed with -

Heavenly Father's only Son# 1:14 Heavenly Father's Son- this term does not mean that the Almighty has a son who was conceived in the usual way. In ancient times, among the Jews, the title “son of the Most High” was applied to the kings of Israel (see 2 Sam. 7:14; Zab. 2:6-7), but also indicated the expected Masih, Savior and righteous King from the Most High, i.e. Jesus (see 1:49; 11:27; 20:31). In Injil, through this term, the idea of ​​the eternal relationship between the Almighty and the Masih is gradually revealed, indicating the similarity of characters and the unity of the nature of these Persons, using an example that is understandable to us - the close relationship between father and son (see 1 John 2:23).,

full of grace and truth.

15 Yahya testified of Him, declaring:

- This is the One about Whom I said: "He who follows me is higher than me, because He existed even before me."

16 By His infinite grace

we have all received one blessing after another.

17 After all, the Law was given through the prophet Musa, and grace and truth came through Isa, the promised Masih# 1:17 Masih (translated as "The Anointed One") - the righteous King and Liberator, the Savior, promised by the Almighty back in Taurat, Zabur and the Book of the Prophets.. 18 The Supreme has never been seen# 1:18 In Holy Scripture we can read about cases when a person “saw” the Most High (see, for example, Beginnings 32:30; Exodus 24:10). But the Most High never appeared before people in all the fullness of His glory, since no one can see Him and remain alive (see Ex. 33:20).He was revealed to us by His only Son, Who always abides with the Father and Who Himself is the Most High.

Purpose of Prophet Yahia's Ministry

(Matt. 3:1-12; Mark 1:2-8; Luke 3:1-18)

19 And here is Yahya's testimony. When the leaders of the Jews sent priests and Levites to Yahya# 1:19 Levites One of the twelve tribes of the Israelites. Levitov the Almighty chose to be assistants to the clergy.to ask him who he is,20 he told them directly, without hiding:

“I am not Masih.

21 They asked him:

“Then who are you?” Prophet Ilyas?# 1:21 Ilyas - the Jews remembered that the prophet Elias was taken to heaven alive (see 2 Kings 2:11), and believed that he should come before the coming of the Masih and prepare the way for Him (see Mal. 4:5; Lk. 1:17). And although in this case Yahya says that he is not Elias, Isa still claimed that an ancient prophecy was fulfilled in Yahya (see Matt. 11:14; 17:12; Mark 9:13), since he came “in spirit and strength" Ilyas.

He replied:

- Not.

- So you are the Prophet predicted by Musa?# 1:21 See Deut. 18:15, 18; In. 1:45; Acts. 3:18-24. In all likelihood, some mistakenly believed that this was some other prophet, but not the Masih (see 1:25; 7:40-41).

“No,” Yahya replied.

22 – Who are you? they asked then. “Tell us so we can relay your reply to those who sent us.” What can you say about yourself?

23 Yahya answered them with the words of the prophet Isaiah:

- "I am the voice that is heard in the wilderness: straighten the way for the Eternal# 1:23 Eternal - the Greek word "curios", standing here in the original text, in Injil translated the Hebrew "Yahweh". And since in this edition of the Holy Scriptures "Yahweh" is translated as "Eternal", then its Greek equivalent is translated in the same way. Under the name "Yahweh", the Almighty revealed himself to Musa and the people of Israel (see Ex. 3:13-15). See explanatory dictionary.» # 1:23 Is. 40:3..

24 And those who were sent were the guardians of the Law# 1:24 Guardians of the Law(lit.: "Pharisees") - a religious party that was distinguished by the strict implementation of the laws of Taurat, following the customs of the ancestors and strict observance of ritual purity.. 25 They inquired:# 1:24-25 Or: "Then sent by the guardians of the Law 25 were interrogated.

- If you are not a Masih, not Ilyas and not a Prophet, then why do you perform the ritual of immersion in water over the people# 1:25 Or: "rite of ablution"; also in Art. 26, 28, 31 and 33.?

26 Yahya answered them:

- I only perform the rite, immersing in water. But among you stands One whom you do not know.27 He is the One who will come after me, and I am not even worthy to untie the thongs of His sandals.

Isa Masih - Sacrificial Lamb of the Almighty

29 The next day, Yahya saw Isa walking towards him and said:

– Here is the Sacrificial Lamb of the Most High, Who will take away the sin of the world!30 It was about Him that I said: “The one who follows me is higher than me, because He existed before me.”31 I myself did not know who He was, but I perform the rite of immersion in water in order for Him to be revealed to Israel.

32 And Yahya confirmed his words:

– I saw how the Spirit descended on Him from heaven in the form of a dove and how He remained on Him.33 I would not have recognized Him if the One who sent me to perform the rite of immersion in water had not told me: “On whom the Spirit will descend and on Whom the Spirit will remain, He will immerse people in the Holy Spirit.# 1:33 Or: "to wash the hearts of the people with the Holy Spirit."». 34 I saw it and I testify that He is the Son of the Most High (Masih) # 1:34 See footnote at 1:14.!

The first disciples of Isa Masih

35 The next day, Yahya stood again with two of his disciples.36 Seeing Isa walking, he said:

“Here is the Sacrificial Lamb of the Most High!

37 Both disciples, hearing these words, followed Isa.38 Jesus turned around and saw that they were following Him.

- What would you like? - he asked.

– Rabbi (which means “teacher”), tell me, where do you live? they asked.

39 “Follow me and you will see for yourself,” said Isa.

It was about four o'clock in the afternoon. They went and saw where He lived, and stayed with Him until the evening of that day.

40 One of the two who heard Yahia's words about Jesus and followed Him was Shimon Petyr's brother, Ander.41 He sought out his brother Shimon and said:
