Genesis 1-16

Genesis 1: Order in which God created the Heaven and Earth:
Genesis 2: God made the garden of Eden, as well as Adam and Lilith (Adam's first wife).
Genesis 3: The serpent tempts Eve to eat from the forbidden tree, and so she and Adam eat the fruit and gain awareness. God gets mad and casted them out of Eden.
Genesis 4: Adam and Eve had Cain and Abel. Cain killed Abel and lied about it to God. Cain killed him because God liked Abel's offering better. Family tree time!
Genesis 5: Timeline of who lived for how long, leading up to Noah.
Genesis 6: God saw that man became wicked without Him and decided to destroy everything. But Noah thought God was pretty neat so God told him to make the ark so God can create the flood but still keep His legacy. And Noah said "sounds good" and did it. You know how this part goes by now.
Genesis 7: God made the flood happen when Noah was done with the ark. The flood was caused by rain that lasted 7 days. The flood itself lasted 40 days and 40 nights. The flood killed everything on Earth except all that was in the ark.
Genesis 8: 150 days passed and God said "oh right I forgot about Noah" and made the flood go away with wind. The ark landed on the mountain of Ararat. Noah sent a raven to check out the progress of the subsiding flood. Then he sent a dove and the dove couldn't find a place to land so it went back to the ark. After 7 days, Noah sent the dove back out and it returned with an olive leaf. After another 7 days, Noah sent the dove again and it didn't return. God said "you can come out now" and Noah released all the animals in the ark.
Genesis 9: God said to Noah and his family "establish my covenant and I won't make another flood". Ham saw Noah sleeping in the nude and told his brothers, but his brothers covered Noah. When Noah woke up, he cursed Ham's son, Canaan. Noah lived to be 950 years old.
Genesis 10: More family tree time!
Genesis 11: The city of Shinar is built. Then the city of Babel is built. Abram marries Sarai but they have no children. Nahor (the new one) marries Milcah. Terah, Abram, Lot, and Sarai go together to the city of Haran. Terah dies in Haran at the age of 205 years.
