Picture this! What are most people's first time experience with the bible? Do not most people pick it up out of curiosity starting in Genesis, and give up out of confusion by the time they reach Leviticus?
Or when people pick up a New Testament. Do they not start with the first page of Matthew, a gospel written to Jewish people, and end up getting confused with the family tree? Do not most people end up closing their bible saying what is this family tree? The reason they don't get it is that these books were not written to people with no bible background. Most Jews at least grow up hearing something about the Jewish family tree including the great Jewish king named David.
Did you know that there are specific books that were written to normal people like you and I who know nothing about the bible? You see Genesis and Matthew were never meant to be the introduction to the bible.
