The word “Genesis” in Greek language “Γένεσις” (pronunciation: ghenesis) is female noun and derives from the verb “γίνομαι” (pronunciation: ghinomai, definition: come into being).

The first book of the Old Testament is named Genesis/Γένεσις, based on the Greek translation from Hebrew chapter 2 verse 4 “Αὕτη ἡ βίβλος γενέσεως οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς” and in English “These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth” ( King James Version).
