Few realize the New Testament didn't start until Christ died at Calvary. Heb 9:16-17... For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. According to the scripture the New Testament was not in force until Christ died. Christ was the testator and His death ushered in the New Testament for both Jew and Gentile. As long as the testator lived the new Testament was not enforce. Scriptures go on to tell us that Christ purchased the Church with His blood. This is not to say His life was not His testament.

The first narrative in Genesis is God's creation of the universe. This subject is contained in the first two chapters of Genesis, with chapter 1 giving a brief overview and ch.2 getting down to detail (Rashi commentary, Gen.2:8).While Judaism has always seen the Torah as an intricate tapestry that nonetheless had one Divine source, some modern authors such as Wellhausen (the father of modern Biblical-criticism, 1844-1918) have suggested artificially chopping up the narrative and attributing it to various authors, despite the Torah's explicit statement as to its provenance (Exodus 24:12, Deuteronomy 31:24). This need not concern believers, since his claims have been debunked one by one, as Archaeology and other disciplines have demonstrated the integrity of the Torah. No fragments have ever been found that would support his Documentary Hypothesis, which remains nothing more than an arbitrary claim:
