THE BOOK OF LIFE-GIVING KNOWLEDGE 73
by the writing of the Christian Greek Scriptures
before the end of the first century after Christ,
and those who wrote these were, even including
Luke, Hebrews who had changed their faith from
Judaism to Christianity. Romans 3 :1,2 ; Galatians
1 :13-17 So the city of Rome had no hand
in the producing of the Bible, and the Book cannot
be called "Roman" in any sense .
4 The prophet Moses compiled his writings in
the book of Genesis from earlier written records .
In Genesis he indicates he consulted and incorporated
part of eleven historical documents .
After giving us the general account of the seven
creative days Moses indicates he drew on old
written records by saying : "These are the histories
of the heavens and the earth, when they
were created, in the day that Jehovah Elohim
made earth and heavens ." Then, marking the second
written record from which he drew information,
Moses writes : "This is the book of Adam's
history." Genesis 2 :4 and 5 :1, Dar., margin In
this way Moses did not depend upon verbal tradition
. Being Jehovah's prophet, he was guided and
inspired by God's spirit in compiling the record
of events before his time and also in writing the
account of his own times . He embodied into his
writings a copy of that which had been written
by the "finger of God" on stone, the Ten Commandments
. Besides this, the writing of the book
Genesis 2 :4 ; 5 :1 ; 6 :9 ; 10 :1 ; 11 :10 ; 11 :27 ; 25 :12,19 ;
36 :1, 9 ; and 37 :2.
