The Lord also gave us an inspired translation or revision of the first six chapters of Genesis, called the book of Mosesβ€”which doesn’t begin with β€œin the beginning.” Instead, it begins with an experience Moses had that provides some context for the well-known Creation story. Together, these latter-day scriptures are a good place to start our study of the Old Testament because they address some fundamental questions that can frame our reading: Who is God? Who are we? What is God’s work, and what is our place in it?
