The TanakhTorah
Genesisבראשית
Genesis runs from the creation of the world to the death of Joseph in Egypt: the first eleven chapters cover the generations before Abraham, and the other thirty-nine follow one family. It is also the book most of the published letter-sequence work was done on. The 1994 experiment of Witztum, Rips and Rosenberg ran on Genesis alone, and the replication studies that answered it worked on the same book.
