The Structure of Genesis

Structure of Genesis: An easy way to understand the structure of Genesis is to observe its content and style. The book is divided into two parts: Genesis 1-11 and Genesis 12-50. The former is an ancient history, covering the time from creation to the tower of Babel. It covers a longer time than other Bible records. The second part of Genesis is the history of the fathers of the Israelites. The time in this section was late and concentrated in men, Abraham and his family during the fourth generation.

In this context, Derrida raised doubts in 1959: the structure MUST NOT have an origin, and MUST NOT be the origin, the origin is already structured, it is something Can it be the origin? In other words, all the structures or 'co-time' phenomena have a history, unless we understand the cause, we can not understand it. At the same time, in order to have movement and possibility, the origin can not be purely single or simple, but it must be expressed in a complicated way - then a "sustainable" process can emerge. This primitive complexity can not be understood as the original positioning, but it is like the default origin that Derrida calls ititability, inscription, or textuality. Such primitive complexity has led to an effort to create all terms in exercise, including Derrida's "deconstruction".

People dislike Genesis 1-2 if it is not a structure that implies history or sentences. Genesis 1-2 is a Hebrew poem. People are not confused about how things should work, because they challenge them and tell the truth, I do not like this. Now you can try to interpret Genesis 1-2 as a scientific historical research paper, but it is not written in that format. If you wish, you can apply scientific, historical or literal interpretation rules to this poem, but in the end Genesis 1-2 will always be a Hebrew poem (about Hebrew poetry I have to look at the information). Poetry is often symbolic
