Retrieved 16 September 2008.Genesis was composed of both oral traditions and “updated” material over many centuries. The scholarly consensus is that the first five books of the Scriptures were first written down c. 600 BCE, with the final editing completed during the period of “the Exile” in Babylon/ Persia in the fifth century BCE. Like many other stories in Genesis, there is often two and sometimes three versions of the same story.
