The first book of Moses, chapter two, is cited when the author refuses to call possessions and money evil in themselves. The citation supports his claim that such things may be precious gifts of God; what he condemns is their shameful misuse and their obstruction of the true good. The English names the book Genesis, an ordinary title expansion of the German designation rather than a separate printed lemma. No complete biblical quotation or verse number is supplied here. The reference functions as a check upon an excessively simple anti-wealth reading of the surrounding polemic.
