I'm pretty familiar with Genesis, so I had thought about skipping it, but I'm glad I didn't. Certain elements stand out to me now, like the fact that the book contains two creation narratives that contradict one another, e.g. on the order in which classes of things are created. It's easy to see that one set of authors waa much more invested in patriarchy than the other.
