And so we'll just go through finding out what it says and we'll leave the puny, little intellects to their discussions and arguments that are without profit or value to us. He created the animals, the domesticated-type animals, all after their own kind.And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. ), God created man male and female as an expression of His own plurality: "Let us make man. Kadmon the ancient Adam, as the cause of causes, of whom it is It has nothing to do with moral relationships. "And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth." - Genesis 1:27. How suited to the true God, who perfectly knew the truth and would make it known to man! 3 And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. Then what confirmation of one's faith! Here again how observable is the transparent and self-consistent truth of scripture. We can see afterwards how verified the curse was, as it will be yet more. Genesis 2:18.). That angels were then created. The creation of man and his installation as ruler on the earth brought the creation of all earthly beings to a close (Genesis 1:31). If we did not see it at once, this was merely because of our dullness. - The relation of man to the creature is now stated. No, but in judging the serpent there comes out the revealed purpose of God, not a promise to Adam in sin, but the revelation of One who would crush the serpent's head the first sinner and too successful tempter to sin. Does not Moses directly exclude all creatures in express terms, when he declares that Adam was created after the image of God? This elementary truth is of immense importance at the present moment. Ada tiga ceritera, tetapi ceritera-ceritera itu ada yang sejalan dalam riwayat Abraham. middle: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and No language could express so well the truth as that which God has employed as a matter of fact. A fly, you hate them, but yet what fabulous design! said Jehovah. introduced into it as into an house ready prepared and furnished Hi, this is Pastor Ken. There was a trial of man in Eden, and he fell immediately: after that there was none whatever in the antediluvian world. THE NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY is for the minister or Bible student who wants to understand and expound the Scriptures. Being made in Gods image, human beings are unique in Gods creation. Men have fancied contradictions; they have fallen back on the old resource of opposed documents put together. 27 So God created mankind in his own image, Chapter Overview: The holy scripture, being designed to maintain and improve natural religion, to repair the decays of it. Is there then any contradiction to be surmised? Such was the condition in which man was formed. The world was living in harmony with God, and thus in harmony with each other.And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. Into that great name we are, with good reason, baptized, for to that great name we owe our being. And so I am always fascinated with the various kinds of ways that God designed for the seeds to propagate themselves.There are some little seeds that grow in the pinecones. For as we have on the sixth day the lower creation for the earth, so finally man himself the crown of all. Every one of them is a perfect geometrical pattern, but no two snowflakes alike. Ed. There is one characteristic of divine revelation to which attention may be profitably called as a starting point. How small are the remains of it, and how great the ruins of it! Then we find the generations of the sons of Shem. That is why, when God created man and He created the garden for man to dwell in, that He put in that Garden a tree of knowledge of good and evil and said to man, "Don't eat that". Not only the Hebrew idiom forbids it, but our own, and no doubt every other language. The Anthropomorphites were too gross in seeking this resemblance in the human body; let that reverie therefore remain entombed. Man was formed especially from the ground and given the breath of life from God. Adam on the very first day of his life, even before Eve was formed, gave the animals their names, and God Himself sanctioned what their head uttered. Chapter 1:9-31Now on the third day,God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. But while this question of who was God talking to may seem impossible to answer. Observe, in the beginning of the word of God, the sources of all things. If you're not saying that already, you'll be saying it before you sit in too many gas lines. This, as suggesting an external likeness, may refer to mans reason, free-will, self-consciousness, and so on. And perhaps this is the only view of it which renders the reasoning of Calvin intelligible. You may form opinions; but for the truth, and even for such facts as the world's history before man had an existence in it facts as to which there can be no testimony from the creature on the earth, we find the need of His word who knew and wrought all from the beginning. This is of immense importance. But inGenesis 2:1-25; Genesis 2:1-25, beginning with verse 4, where we have special position and moral responsibility coming to view for the first time, the compound term which expresses the Supreme putting Himself in relation with man, and morally dealing with him here below, is first used, and with the most striking appropriateness. On this it is unnecessary to dwell. They take off over the thousands of miles without suitcases, without spare gas tanks, without compasses or navigational equipment. There is nothing which more maddens man than mortified religious pride; and so it is here proved, for he rose up against his brother and slew him. Genesis 2:1-3; Genesis 2:1-3, taking the Sabbath as the necessary complement of the week, and therefore going on with the preceding six days, not with what follows. plural number as expressive of honour and majesty; since such a Page #9 Study Notes on Genesis Genesis 1 Introduction to the Book of Genesis Name and theme "Genesis" means origin or beginning. But "Adam," it is said, "begat a son in his own likeness, after his image." And man eat too, not deceived, but with open eyes, and therefore so much the more guilty swayed, no doubt, by his affections; bold, however, in yielding to them, for he ought rather to have been her guard and guide, certainly not to have followed her, even if he had failed to keep her safely in the path of good. This breath is the seal and pledge of our relation to God, of our godlike dignity; whereas the breath breathed into the animals is nothing but the common breath, the life-wind of nature, which is moving everywhere, and only appears in the animal fixed and bound into a certain independence and individuality, so that the animal soul is nothing but a nature-soul individualized into certain, though still material spirituality." For besides the deformity which everywhere appears unsightly, this evil also is added, that no part is free from the infection of sin. After this he could estimate and know things himself as good or evil; whilst innocent this could not be. This you can, if you will, verify in various occasions where scripture furnishes examples of the summary; as, for instance, in the beginning of Genesis 5:1-32, "This is the book of the generations of Adam." Then there are other seeds that put a little hook on the end of the seed, and you or an animal walks by, and that little seed hooks on to your pants and it gets a free ride or it hooks in to your socks. I need ears to hear, but God wouldn't necessarily need ears to hear. We pray, Give us this day our daily bread (Matthew 6:11), but we do not expect God to work instantaneously and drop food from heaven on to our plates. We see the clock winding out. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, the whole earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth." 27 So God created man in his own image; he created him in the imag. Scripture describes it, and mentions two rivers which unquestionably exist at the present day. Yet such misunderstandings occur. It is true that objections have been raised by natural historians to this testimony of Scripture, but without scientific ground. Chapter 12 Abram moves to Canaan by faith and fails in Egypt. I still know it's daytime, because there's light, but yet I don't see the sun. The condition of man was altogether different then from what it became immediately after. But because I relate seeing to eyes, and when I talk to God about seeing, I would say, well, the eyes of the Lord go to and fro throughout the entire earth, but it doesn't necessarily follow that God has eyes, because eyes aren't necessarily essential for seeing.So what does God look like? The history is in Genesis 1:2-3 from verse 4 to the end ofGenesis 2:1-25; Genesis 2:1-25 is not so much a history of creation as a statement of the relations of creation, and especially of man, its centre and head. Departed from God, they hid themselves, and He had but to utter those solemn and searching words to Adam, "Where art thou?" Moral relationship? Now, He created also the mammals, the great whales. Matthew 19:4; Mark 10:6). But as the identity of "every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth" () with "every thing that creepeth upon the ground" () in Genesis 1:25 is not absolutely certain; on the contrary, the change in expression indicates a difference of meaning; and as the Masoretic text is supported by the oldest critical authorities (lxx, Sam., Onk. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth." The primitive condition is described too. In judgment as in grace God is always wise. Holmes and Parsons show, however, the omission of supplied in not a few MSS., whether by the translators or by their copyists may be a question. Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. The decay of animals is a law of nature established in the creation itself, and not a consequence of sin, or an effect of the death brought into the world by the sin of man. In Genesis 5:1-3, we read, "In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; male and female created he them; and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. 13. Likewise people should maintain the other divisions in the universe. What joy and delight in the Scriptures! It is not the fact that Genesis 2:7; Genesis 2:19, represents man as created first of all living creatures before the birds and beasts; any more than that man created in God's image (Genesis 1:27) contradicts the statement ofGenesis 2:7; Genesis 2:7, that he was formed of the dust of the ground. 133.]. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.". Even scholars bring in their western notions from the familiar habit of counting the day from the morning to the evening It is the same thing with the account of the resurrection. It places the special creative work of the six days in due subordination to the absolute creation recorded in the first verse. That explains why humans can actually imitate God's personality. His thoughts were easily brought and fixed to the best subjects, and there was no vanity nor ungovernableness in them. He begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; knowledge, righteousness, and true holiness. them", which shows that the name "man" is general in the Like the other animals, they were so made that they could feed themselves from what grew on the earth and reproduce their own kind. Scripture is plain and profoundly true: "And Jehovah-Elohim said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: therefore Jehovah- Elohim sent him forth from the garden of Eden to till the ground whence he was taken. He set it apart for man's acknowledging of God. Second, the narrative thus interpreted is in striking harmony with the dictates of reason and the axioms of philosophy concerning the essence of God and the nature of man. Genesis 1:26. We'll all be in our new bodies, perfected bodies that will know no handicaps at all. In the first place, we are told elsewhere that God is a spirit (John 4:24; Isaiah 31:3) and that he is ubiquitous (1 Kings 8:27). Now, not only may it be the simple fact that Elohim alone was used, but, further, on account of it, the historian would not introduce here the name of special relationship which the enemy was above all anxious to have if possible forgotten, and which the woman in fact did soon forget when she allowed one to work on her mind whose first aim was to sow distrust of God. It should seem as if this were the work which he longed to be at; as if he had said, "Having at last settled the preliminaries, let us now apply ourselves to the business, Let us make man." That angels could assist in a work of creation. It is not as if it were a new thing for man to deny the immortality of his own soul. Talk about microsystems!Oh, the wisdom of God, the wisdom of God. The first group shows how God created the basic spheres of operation (light and dark; sea and sky; fertile land), the second how he created the features within each of those spheres (lights of day and night; creatures of sea and sky; creatures of the land).This simple creation story, though not intended to be a scientific account, is not in conflict with science. It is the old familiar story, man tried and found wanting as always. 2. Yet in Genesis 1:29, God states that human beings are only permitted a plant-based diet. He ceased His creative act on the seventh day. Article Images Copyright 2023 Getty Images unless otherwise indicated. These prophets may be the stars themselves. Gods plurality anticipated mans plurality. It recognizes, as far as can be expected, the relative importance of the heavens and the earth, the existence of the heavenly bodies from the beginning of time, the total and then the partial absence of light from the face of the deep, as the local result of physical causes. , from , lit., a shadow, hence sketch, outline, differs no more from , likeness, portrait, copy, than the German words Umriss or Abriss (outline or sketch) from Bild or Abbild (likeness, copy). And at this rate, I'm sure the Lord will come before we get through the Bible. we should have had a long introduction, and a full history of his origin and his designs and his doings. Could any person have conceived such wisdom beforehand? "So Jehovah scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. It is no longer the test of creation, as God made it, and this accordingly is marked here. In his original estate man was created in God's image, but he had not the knowledge of good and evil. Now man has lost neither of these two. If man can discover such facts by other means, be it so. All the delays of God now proceed on the fact that the first man is in sin. Such an interpretation should be rejected for at least four reasons. No, it was the simple question whether God was really Jehovah-Elohim, whether He was a moral governor or not, whether man was to be independent of God or not. Genesis chapter 1. (89) Erat erim in singulis animae partibus temperatura quae suis numeris constabat.. As with the rest of the Bible, the book of Genesis was written in the everyday language of the people of the time. These are both very good. What value is it then for me to have a choice if He doesn't respect it? If the woman was the one first of all to yield, she is the destined mother of Him that would defeat the devil and deliver man. It was a state altogether different from that of man fallen; however suitable then, it was such as man as he is could never have conceived of with propriety. And so Seth, to him also there was born a son, and he called his name Enos. It is hardly so common-place and ordinary a matter as many suppose. And the common distinction is, that image exists in the substance, likeness in the accidents of anything. A holy being might and does so know, i.e., a being who, while knowing, has an intrinsic nature that repels the evil and cleaves to the good. How is this image of God upon man defaced! Modern science has revealed so much about the wonders and the size of the physical universe that human beings may seem almost to be nothing. Yet, wonderful to say, in the very announcement of judgment on the serpent, God, who had by the light of His presence compelled the guilty pair to come forth out of the darkness in which they had hid, or rather sought to hide God held out the first bright light of mercy, but mercy in the judgment of him who was the root of the evil. The sons of God chose the daughters of men. Which would include the angels, for the angels are called the hosts of heaven.And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made (Gen 2:2). Man, made in the image of God is an inferior trinity. Then we enter on the theatre and times of dispensations. "And God blessed them, and said Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth " The procreation and nurture of the continuing generations of mankind upon earth is a God-ordained privilege and commandment. So God created man in His own image; in the image . For example, the Bible speaks of the four corners of the earth (Isaiah 11:12) and of the pillars, bases and cornerstone of the earth (Job 9:6; Job 38:4-6); but if people use those statements to deny that the earth is a globe, they misuse the Bible. said, "I was as one brought up with him (or an artificer with This chapter is also to be read with wonder and adoration by man; as he finds himself to be constituted lord of the earth, next in rank under the Creator of all, formed in the image of his Maker, and therefore capable not only of studying the works of nature, but of contemplating and reverently communing with the Author of nature. In three "days" God made the uninhabitable earth productive, and in three more "days" He filled the uninhabited earth with life. He is to be allied to heaven as no other creature on earth is. (f) Vet. I don't know. Ed. How true of the energetic Japhetic race that pushed westward, and not content with the east, pushes round again to the west anywhere and everywhere. But the Holy Spirit has veiled such a fact in the only manner that became God and was proper for man. * "Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be." And the evening and the morning were the third day. (Generally speaking, women feel a marriage is working if they talk about it, but men feel it is working if they do not talk about it. The same principle applies in other fields of science. It is not said in Genesis 1:27 that man and woman were created together; or that the woman was created directly, and not formed out of one of the man's ribs. 10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. divine Creators and Makers in the plural number, ( Job 35:10 ) ( Psalms 149:2 It is owing to this blessing, which God commanded at first, that the race of mankind is still in being, and that as one generation passeth away another cometh. "And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell." Cain, as it is said, went out from His presence, and dwelt in the land of Nod; a son is born in due time who builds a city called after his name. For what end? The infinite God, who created this universe and all the life forms within it remains unformed in our own mind. It is not hard to conceive both that they had a common source before they parted, and that the garden of Eden may have been of considerable extent. "The tri-unity of God is found in the first verse of the Bible, "in the beginning God," the word in Hebrew is "Elohim". This is the highest honor with which he has dignified us; to a due regard for which, Moses, by this mode of speaking would excite our minds. The heavens were in no such state of chaos: the earth was. correct. In short, if the word had not been here, it might have been supposed that the writer meant us to conclude that the original condition of the earth was the shapeless mass of confusion which verse 2 describes with such terse and graphic brevity. Now there is not really the very least ground for such an assumption. The Bible tells us that God is the Creator, and it reveals something of his purposes in creation, but if people want to find out how the physical creation functions, they must do so by hard work as God has appointed (Genesis 3:19). Chapter 12:1-14:24 The call of Abram and his visible life of faith. It remains yet to be seen whether he will be good in act and habit. God saw His work, and behold it was all very good; i.e., everything perfect in its kind, so that every creature might reach the goal appointed by the Creator, and accomplish the purpose of its existence. It just testifies to God's neat, inventive genius, and being able to take same basic features and just creates an infinite number of varieties.God evidently likes variety. To me it appears that all is in perfect keeping; and that the omission of Jehovah here is equally natural on the part of the serpent and Eve, as it is appropriate to the inspired history of the transaction. The believer can readily understand how Noah was divinely led to pronounce a just malediction on Canaan. Our . Then another state of things is mentioned in verse 2, not for the heaven, but for the earth. So the Holy Spirit, basically, is the author of all the scripture and who He was inspiring is of no import to us.So next week, we'll continue with chapter two. I warn every person solemnly against a notion found in both ancient and modern times, that there was in the beginning a quantity of what may be called crude matter for God to work on. It may be well to glance at it just to show the importance of heeding the word of God, and all His word. The two terms occur in the very same verse; yet is there not an evident propriety in each case? Alas! Verse Genesis 1:26. Genesis 1:24). The genealogy of Shem, with gradually decreasing age among his seed, follows down to Abram, the remainder of the chapter being thus the link of transition from the history of the world as it then was, and in its principle still is. Does the plurality, then, point to a plurality of attributes in the divine nature? The plural form of the sentence raises the question, With whom took he counsel on this occasion? The soul is a spirit, an intelligent immortal spirit, an influencing active spirit, herein resembling God, the Father of Spirits, and the soul of the world. God gave the right of dominion over all living things to man. It is another statement added to what had just preceded, and by the Hebrew idiom not connected with it in time. And this we may safely say, That he by whom God made the worlds, not only the great world, but man the little world, formed the human body, at the first, according to the platform he designed for himself in the fulness of time. I am capable of loving, of giving and receiving love, and to know the meaningfulness of giving and receiving love, because I am created in the image of God and that's His chief emotional characteristic; is to love. However, the word for "let us make" (naaseh, ) which is plural, is translated as "let us make" () which is plural in the Greek as well. Humans were created in God's image, with the ability to cultivate and manifest qualities that God possesses, such as love, empathy, and justice. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the fowl multiply in the earth. It is a mistake to include the world before that event in the time of dispensations. *Jehovah here, rather than Elohim, would have spoilt the beauty of the divine account. During the summer, they take off from Hawaii and they fly all the way up into Alaska where they mate. 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness " It is the kinship of humanity to God Himself that shines in this, a conception that is launched here and is never diminished until the God-Man Himself, "The Lamb standing as though it had been slain" (Revelation 5:6), is seen in the very midst of the throne of God!
