It is all well, and a desirable service of love, if a Christian can happily and with God-given wisdom meet the difficulties of others; but hold you the truth yourselves. 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. So that, they are for signs, for times, for seasons and so forth; and so this becomes very interesting.Now, if this is a process of "re-creation," then it would mean that on the fourth day, actually God did not create the sun and the moon on the fourth day, but He had now allowed them to be in their present, current positions in their relationship to the Earth, and he removed the shroud of fog, and all, from the Earth so that you can finally see the sun and the moon.Now, we have evening and mornings, where we don't see the sun, cloudy days, cloudy all day long. He has, He does not respect my choice, and thus it isn't really the freedom of choice. Genesis 1:26; Genesis 1:27; . They leave room consequently for a state or states of the earth long before either man or time, as man measures it. 10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. 2. Meanwhile the earth was drying and land became visible. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called the Seas: and God saw that it was good. On this it is unnecessary to dwell. What joy and delight in the Scriptures! Nizzachon, p. 5. This was made in the image and likeness 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. Oneness is essential for an orchestra, an athletic team, and a construction crew, as well as a family, to achieve a common purpose. the likeness of the holy blessed God, and his Shechinah God made but one male and one female, that all the nations of men might know themselves to be made of one blood, descendants from one common stock, and might thereby be induced to love one another. The recognizable part of Christ will be the prints of the nails in His hands and the print of the sword in His side. And so God rested from His creative acts, as it points out here, He rested from His creation, all the work which He had made.And God blessed the seventh day (Gen 2:3). This gives occasion to the manifestation of a great difference among Noah's sons, and to the solemn words which the father uttered in the spirit of prophecy. Man was the pinnacle of His splendid super-structure, underlining the peculiar importance of man in God's economy, for man was to be God's representative on earth, crowned with his Maker . Meaning of Genesis 1:26. The geometric patterns and design.And so, of all of the millions of people, there may be some who look somewhat alike, and yet, you know, when you get to know twins, you'll be able to tell them apart at sight, because there's just enough difference between everybody. Next to Christ Himself, and what we have by and in Him, there is nothing of greater importance than the confession of the truth, both that God created, and that His creation is in ruins. Although in the animal kingdom, as it at present exists, many varieties are so organized that they live exclusively upon the flesh of other animals, which they kill and devour; this by no means necessitates the conclusion, that the carnivorous beasts of prey were created after the fall, or the assumption that they were originally intended to feed upon flesh, and organized accordingly. Hence He orders that two of every kind should be taken into the ark. Their goal is to alter our beliefs and cause us to align with them. Now man has lost neither of these two. Man. You say, "oh, they remember the way they flew out. Chapter 13 Lot's choice and Abram's part. Even for Adam, innocent as he was, life did not depend on abstinence from eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Hitherto they had been of one lip; but combining to make a name to themselves, lest they should be scattered, not to exalt God nor confide in Him, they had their language confounded, and themselves dispersed. Cyrus, "The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth" Ezra 1:2. (85) Ut certe aeterna ejus sapientia et virtus in ipso resident. The expression is ambiguous; but the French translation renders it, Comme a la verite, sa Sapience eternelle, et Vertu reside en luy; which translation is here followed. 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. So what did God do? 1. Cain brought what might have sufficed in an unfallen world what might have suited an innocent worshipper of One who was simply known as Elohim. 510. So again the woman has her portion, of which we need not say more than to point out what a clue it is to her lot in the history of the race. This, as suggesting an external likeness, may refer to mans reason, free-will, self-consciousness, and so on. Man takes a special place in creation. Was it with certain other intelligent beings in existence before man that he took counsel? They have conceived that, coupling the second verse with the first, it suggests the notion that when God created the earth it was in the state described in the second verse. It was not till after the flood, that men received authority from God to employ the flesh of animals as well as the green herb as food (Genesis 9:3); and the fact that, according to the biblical view, no carnivorous animals existed at the first, may be inferred from the prophetic announcements in Isaiah 11:6-8; Isaiah 65:25, where the cessation of sin and the complete transformation of the world into the kingdom of God are described as being accompanied by the cessation of slaughter and the eating of flesh, even in the case of the animal kingdom. You will, of course, recognize how important that is. Had it been merely said that Elohim shut him in, it would have simply suggested the Creator's care of every creature; but Jehovah's shutting him in points to special relationship, and the interest taken in that righteous man. How remarkably this has been made good in the providential history of the world I need not stay to prove, how Jehovah God connected His name with Shem, to the humiliation of Canaan, and how Elohim enlarged Japhet, who would spread himself not merely in his own destined lot, but even dwell in the tents of Shem, and Canaan humbled there too. In the man Christ Jesus both were perfect; and fallen man, when new-created in Christ, attains actually to that perfection which was his only potentially at his first creation, and to which Adam never did attain. These again are of less importance than the land, which man tills and renders fruitful in all that can gratify his appetite or his taste. Again, let us note the confronting of the serpent, not with man, who always falls under Satan's power, but with Christ, who always conquers. The world, the universe has been created. And God said, Let us make man in our image, and 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. Chapter 12 Abram moves to Canaan by faith and fails in Egypt. Men have fancied contradictions; they have fallen back on the old resource of opposed documents put together. So God said, "let us make man in our image, after our likeness. The insufficiency of their resources had been proved. . Genesis 1:26 Context. Then we enter on the theatre and times of dispensations. It is not as if it were a new thing for man to deny the immortality of his own soul. Man alone, as deriving that which gave him the breath of life not from his body but from the breath of Jehovah-Elohim, gives an account to God. By will we choose, determine, and resolve upon what is to be done. 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. Nebuchadnezzar, "I have dreamed" Daniel 2:3. Somehow, the earth's orbit was changed around the sun, and now it is three hundred and sixty-five years, nine hours, fifty-six minutes, nine and four-hundredths of a second. And here the effort of the enemy was first to breathe suspicion on the goodness of God as well as on His truth, in short, on God Himself. It attributes to the second verse a prominent place and function in the arrangement of the record. said, "I was as one brought up with him (or an artificer with 2. i Ibid. "And if thou doest not well," it is said, "sin lieth at the door." A person is held out the Seed of the woman; for the manner most expressly bespeaks the tender mercy of God. When God made man, when Jehovah-Elohim breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, man had no knowledge of things as right or wrong in themselves. In chapter 2, we have a flash-back and more explanation about the events on the sixth day. Consequently the attempt of man's mind by what is now to judge of what was then always ends in the merest confusion and total failure. 2. But there is more than this, though this be of exceeding interest; because we see with equal certainty and clearness why Jehovah-Elohim is introduced not before but here, and why man's becoming a living soul by the inbreathing of God was said here and not in the first chapter. Chapter 12:1-14:24 The call of Abram and his visible life of faith. divine Creators and Makers in the plural number, ( Job 35:10 ) ( Psalms 149:2 "Jehovah-Elohim took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it." Such a glorious God, so wise; all of these created life forms. "Image" is a word taken from sensible things, and denotes likeness in outward form, while the material may be different. He designed a little wing on that seed. The sun, moon and stars, previously hidden, now became clearly visible. Man will rise and live again. (s) God commanded the water and the earth to bring forth other creatures: but of man he says, Let us make signifying that God takes counsel with his wisdom and virtue purposing to make an excellent work above all the rest of his creation. There is the provision of God, not merely for the need of man, but for His own glory; and this in the smallest things as in the greatest. In the will is unfolded that freedom of action which chooses the good and refuses the evil. 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. 8:30 ) and to this ancient Adam he said, "let us make man in "And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew; for Jehovah-Elohim had not caused it to rain upon the earth; and there was not a man to till the ground. I do not of course enter into details, but here is the inspired account, which shines in the midst of the horrors of that dark scene which fabulists portrayed. And at this rate, I'm sure the Lord will come before we get through the Bible. Much more could be said, but we must move on. And may I not put it to the conscience of every soul whether such an event is not exactly where it should be, according to the internal and distinctive features ofGenesis 1:1-31; Genesis 1:1-31; Genesis 2:1-25? a. It was the name of the divine nature, as such, in contrast with man or the creature; not the special manner in which God may reveal Himself at a particular time, or deal in exceptional ways, but the general and what you may call historical name of God, "God" as such. We have first the great announcement that in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. It may be observed, that the plural number is used, "let 124.] If His servant bids others behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world, how much more does God Himself behold Christ and His sacrifice! . We'll send you an email with steps on how to reset your password. Genesis 2:18; Psalm 12:5; Isaiah 33:10). The details are of the highest interest, more especially when compared with the predicted results in the latter day, where we see the same countries and nations re-appear for judgment in the day of Jehovah. And on six days, they are to do their labors, the seventh day they are to rest. The land, as understood by the ancient author, may be limited to that portion of the earths surface which was known to antediluvian man. They may indulge in speculations of the mind, or visions of the imagination a substitute for what is real, and a cheat of the enemy. If we did not see it at once, this was merely because of our dullness. God created man capable of governing the world, and when fitted for the office, he fixed him in it. "Let us make man in our image." It is no otherwise with God's word, save that all illustrations fail to measure the depth of the differences in it. That man's being evil was a ground for sending the flood we can all see; but what depth of grace in the declaration that God knew perfectly the ruined condition of man at the very time when He pledges His word that there shall come no more flood on the earth! For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. Scripture describes it, and mentions two rivers which unquestionably exist at the present day. the angels, as the Targum of Jonathan, Jarchi, and others, who I know it's night because it's dark, but I don't see the moon, because there is a cloud cover that prohibits me seeing the moon or prohibits my seeing the sun.Now, this fog, cloud cover could have been removed on the fourth day, so that the "light holder" becomes visible. This, it is observable, is kept up strikingly here, for Adam has these creatures brought before him by Jehovah- Elohim, and gives names to them all, showing clearly not alone his title as lord, but the power of appropriate language imparted by God from the first. Not only the Hebrew idiom forbids it, but our own, and no doubt every other language. 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. The evil is traced home at last to its source, and the serpent is brought fully out. In any case it was mercy to confine the curse certainly earned by Ham within the narrowest limits, instead of extending it to all his posterity. 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.". Adam was not androgynous (i.e., two individuals joined physically like Siamese twins) or bisexual (i.e., one individual possessing both male and female sexual organs). Chapter 12:1-21:34 Abraham, the father of all believers (Romans 4) a. Seth therefore was begotten in Adam's own likeness, not in God's. We'll know no weakness, no pain, no suffering. Other phases of human likeness to God are seen in such things as freedom of will, moral responsibility, intellectual achievement, and creativity. All the delays of God now proceed on the fact that the first man is in sin. The days that follow I see no ground for interpreting save in their simple and natural import. Genesis 1:26-28. And the months were originally lunar months, the time it takes the moon to go through its full cycle, as it orbits around the Earth. we should have had a long introduction, and a full history of his origin and his designs and his doings. But I often wonder why God made such weird-looking fish, in such variety, and then the fabulous colors! Now men and women live in a world filled with hate, evil and disease. to make use of it as should seem convenient for them. preceding clause, and includes male and female, as we find by the Genesis 11:1-32 opens with the sin of man, which led to the division described in the preceding chapter, the moral reason of that fact, new then, but still in its substance going on, whatever the superficial changes among men in their lands, and tongues, and political distribution. How could you've evening and morning in the first three days? There were no carnivorous animals in the beginning. set up by Josephus and a crowd of Greek and Latin fathers, the Nile according to Jarchi and other Rabbis, the Indus of late reasserted by Ewald, more than one of the fathers considering it to be the Danube! And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.". 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." But this was not Adam's state, but simply made upright, with absence and ignorance of evil. Leave out the fall; fail to keep it before you and test all with that in mind, and you will be wrong about every result. Creation and redemption bear witness to His glory, instead of communicating aught of His own dignity. The author passes on from the cattle to the entire earth, and embraces all the animal creation in the expression, "every moving thing () that moveth upon the earth," just as in Genesis 1:28, "every living thing upon the earth." Lipman. They are not said to be created then; but God made two great lights (it is no question of their mass, but of their capacity as light bearers,) for the Adamic earth the stars also. By reason we apprehend concrete things in perception and consciousness, and cognize abstract truth, both metaphysical and moral. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. God could introduce him, and could leave the heart to feel the rightness of saying no more about him than was necessary. But while this question of who was God talking to may seem impossible to answer. Man was to be a creature different from all that had been hitherto made. God is pleased when people study his creation and learn its wonders (Psalms 111:2). Needless to say, the divine image has been grossly eroded in many of Adam's rebellious and sinful children. Where all was bright and good around man in innocency the scope for labour would not have its place. Was it with himself, and does he here simply use the plural of majesty? 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Nevertheless, even in his fallen state, man retains something of the image of God, for every human being is potentially the beneficiary of the blood of Christ and an heir of everlasting life. I. Finally, a literal interpretation seems not only contradictory to the rest of Scripture, and unlikely, but also inappropriate, Gardener aptly observed: But our anatomy and physiology is demanded by our terrestrial habitat, and quite inappropriate to the one who inhabits eternity. For these reasons, theologians have concluded that the statement in Genesis 1:26-28 must be metaphorical of mans spiritual or immaterial nature." "Replenish the earth " This does not envision a re-population of the earth, but the spread of mankind throughout all the world. A mere historian, like Josephus of old a mere commentator, like Ewald now might have used either the one or the other without sensible loss to his readers through both chapters. Then we find the waters caused to bring forth abundantly "the moving creature that hath life." 26 Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.". This supposition cannot be admitted; because the expression "let us make" is an invitation to create, which is an incommunicable attribute of the Eternal One, and because the phrases, "our image, our likeness," when transferred into the third person of narrative, become "his image, the image of God," and thus limit the pronouns to God himself. Genesis 1:27 is a summary of God's creation of mankind on the sixth day. God made heaven and earth in six days: it is never said He created heaven and earth in six days. It sedulously refrains from importing modern notions into the narrative. It is not concerned with the sort of investigation that modern science is concerned with. ." In the Pentateuch the Hebrew term "image" occurs also in Genesis 5:3 and in Numbers 33:22. In looking into the meaning of these verses we are attempting to discover the nature of man. Here he gave them, 1. The next chapter (Genesis 8:1-22) shows God's remembrance of Noah and every living thing. God, having made them capable of transmitting the nature they had received, said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. (84) For the various opinions of Jewish writers on this subject, see Pooles Synopsis in loco. It is God providing not for the perpetuation of the creature merely, but with marked completeness for sacrifice. Most wisely all such details awaited the unfolding of another day. Whether people are believers or not, whether they receive the truth or not, God holds to that which belongs to His own moral being. The whole creation was built by the Word of God from the mouth of God. Here indeed the principle of reserve does apply, not in withholding from man's soul the deepest blessing of grace for his deepest wants, but in furnishing no more than that which was suitable for man to learn about the matter. over the said Jehovah. That he made this image to consist in righteousness and true holiness, is by the figure synecdochee; (88) for though this is the chief part, it is not the whole of Gods image. It is not, but rather of moral relationship. It is an awesome thing to realize that God does respect my choice.Now, He does speak to influence my choice because He loves me, and He knows what is best for me. I have the power of self-determination. Verse Genesis 1:26. He is called "Jehovah;" He is not designated by the former mingled or compound term "Jehovah-Elohim," but by "Jehovah" simply; and this is found afterwards, either "Elohim" alone or "Jehovah in the other names of special character, as we shall see," until the call of Israel, when we have an appropriate modification in the expression of His name. Cain was born, and the fallen mother gave the name: but, oh, what a mistake! 7. "By the law is the knowledge of sin," and until the law was brought in there was, as far as scripture tells us, no such discrimination, if any, between the offerings. 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. Adversaries may no doubt try to embarrass you: if they will, let them do so. But it is the word of God, and nothing can be more suitable to God, gracious to man, or just to the enemy. The sons of God chose the daughters of men. But it is well that their canine wickedness has been joined with a stupidity so great, that they betray their folly to children. Such was the condition in which man was formed. Though the twins may have come from the same cell, divided and thus, they have the same chromosome content and gene content as each other, yet the variations that develop, I just am amazed at creation. This honour indeed God has put upon the body of man, that the Word was made flesh, the Son of God was clothed with a body like ours and will shortly clothe ours with a glory like that of his. Proud member It gathers information from the primitive meanings of the names that are given to certain objects, and notices the subsequent development of these meanings. It is the Creator originating what is around us; consequently it is God, Elohim, who alone could be spoken of as such in ch. Adam did not preserve the place in which God had set him. This act of creation, too, like all that precede it, is shown by the divine word "good" to be in accordance with the will of God.
