what are the first 11 chapters of genesis called?
exodus
the flood is part of what scholars call the primeval history, the first 11 chapters of genesis. these chapters, fable-like and legendary, form a preface to the patriarchal narratives which follow, but show little relationship to them. for example, the names of its characters and its geography—adam ("man") and eve ("life"), the land of nod ("wandering"), and so on—are symbolic rather than real, and much of the narratives consist of lists of "firsts": the first murder, the first wine, the first empire-builder. few of the people, places and events depicted in the book are mentioned elsewhere in the bible. this has led scholars to suppose that the primeval history forms a late composition attached to genesis to serve as an introduction. at one extreme are those who see it as a product of the hellenistic period, in which case it cannot be earlier than the first decades of the 4th century bce; on the other hand the yahwist source has been dated by others, notably john van seters, to the exilic pre-persian period (the 6th century bce), precisely because the primeval history contains so much babylonian influence in the form of myth.
