One family

The book of Genesis is literally a book of beginnings. In the first 11 chapters of this book, we are introduced to the first family. It's a multigenerational family that experienced sibling rivalries and complicated marriages. It consists of relatives that don’t come around anymore, one relative who won’t quit talking about himself, and family drama that culminates with one member cursing another. From this one family, we discover two very important biblical principles about creating godly families.
