Jehovah's Witnesses only, please. Who did Adam tell the story of creation to?

Question

I'm pretty sure it wasn't directly to Moses. Can anyone tell me who was the second person to hand the story down?

Answer 1

Adam may have told the story to his children, the bible does not say, you do know I'm guessing that. 2 Timothy 3: 16 states: That all Scripture is inspired of God, and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness. It was possibly in the wilderness of Sinai in 1513
B.C.E. that Moses under inspiration,completed his writing.
John 5:39, 46, 47. Where did Moses get his information for the last part of Genesis? Since his great-grandfather Levi was the half brother of Joseph, these details would be accurately known within his own family. Levi's life may even have overlapped that of Moses' father, Amram. Further, Jehovah's spirit would again assure the correct recording of this portion of the Scriptures. Ex. 6:16, 18, 20; Numbers 26: 59 Hope this helps, a sister

Answer 2

In his book New Discoveries in Babylonia About Genesis (p. 35), P. J. Wiseman points out that archaeological research gives proof that “the art of writing began in the earliest historical times known to man.” Virtually all modern scholars acknowledge the existence of writing long before the time of Moses.
Expressions such as that found in Exodus 17:14,
“Write this as a memorial in the book,” substantiate the fact that writing was in common use in Moses’ day.
The Dutch scholar Campegius Vitringa held this view, basing his conclusion upon the frequent occurrence in Genesis of the expression “these are the generations of,” and once “this is the book of the generations of.”
The Hebrew word for “generations” is toh·le·dhohth′, and it is better rendered “histories” or “origins.”
In harmony with this, the German Elberfelder, the French Crampon, and the Spanish Bover-Cantera all use the term “history,” as does the New World Translation.
There is no doubt that even as men today are interested in an accurate historical record, so they have been from the start.

Answer 3

Adam was unreliable and unnecessary for the purpose of 'telling the story of creation'.

Moses was inspired by God to write the first five books of the bible. God supplied Moses with information that even Adam could not have known.

Answer 4

If you will read your bible you will find that it was Moses who wrote the first books and they were taken from conversations between Moses and Adam. No doubt there were some of Adams children around. But Adam was the source.

Answer 5

I'm Catholic. Probably the answer is by word of mouth. From my understanding of that history, he probably shared the story of creation with his family and others. Word of mouth is how most information was passed down for thousands of years in story form because most people during that time didn't know how to read or write (I don't think paper even existed yet).

Answer 6

Most stories were passed down through the preists/high preists. (in writing and word)
I'm not a J W though.

Answer 7
