“Jesus points out that God’s purpose for marriage is to be found in the creation account in Genesis 1–2. God created marriage to be between one man and one woman under a lifelong covenant, but it was because of people’s “hardness of heart” that Moses allowed for a certificate of divorce (Mark 10:4–5).”

“There are at least three reasons to understand Genesis 1:1 as an introductory title: 1) the phrase “heaven and earth” is a merism, 2) Genesis 1:1 together with Genesis 2:1–3 functions as an inclusio (Genesis 6:9–10 and 9:18–19 introduce and conclude the Flood account), and 3) the grammatical relationship between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 suggest Genesis 1:1 is an introductory title.”

“Based on a straightforward reading of the MT, there are three dates in biblical history that give us great confidence for establishing a dating scheme for the Old Testament: 967 B.C., 1446 B.C., and 1876 B.C.

The foundation of Old Testament history in establishing a solid chronology is 1 Kings 6:1:”
