Chapter 5 discusses the book of Genesis, which is named after its content relating to the origins of the world, humanity, and the Jewish people. It emphasizes that Genesis serves as a prologue to Jewish history, which begins with the Exodus. The chapter analyzes the opening passage of Genesis, where God creates the heavens and the earth from a formless void and brings forth light. The text suggests that the initial chaos described in Genesis can be likened to a cosmic dust nebula. An observer in this primordial state may perceive it as darkness or an abyss. When light appears, the observer believes it to be God's direct creation, unaware that it comes from the sun. This raises a question about how light could exist before the stars, a common dilemma associated with Genesis. The author proposes that if the observer were situated in the swirling nebula, they might see the light without understanding its source due to the surrounding dust. The observer would also experience the cycle of day and night as the nebula rotates.
