The Books of the Bible are in canonical order, not in chronological order. If in chronological order, then the Book of Job would be the first Book as it is the oldest. The initial chapters of Genesis dealing with Creation predate the events of Job, but were written through Moses much later. Moses was a young man already in Midian when Job died, and predated Moses return and exodus from Egypt.
There are many ways in which to read the Books of the Bible. If you have only read them in canonical order, then give reading it in chronological order and see how it provides you with a better historical overlay.
