One measure of the foundational importance of the Book of Genesis is the fact that allusions and quotations referring to Genesis occur so frequently in the New Testament, as much as or more than any other book of the Old Testament. These are listed in the following tabulation. (For ease in viewing the table, see the Appendix 11 Table.) Especially note the "observations" at the end of the tabulation.
