The story is presented in chapter thirty-two of Exodus, and would appear to explain the incident by an intrinsic evil within certain ranks of the Israelites (the Lord going so far as to call…

The book of Genesis introduces many characters to the readers including Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Abraham and Sarah, and the list goes on. All of these characters play an important role within the overall story of Genesis.
