John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 2:4

Verse 4 4.These are the generations (108) The design of Moses was deeply to impress upon our minds the origin of the heaven and the earth, which he designates by the word generation. For there have always been ungrateful and malignant men, who, either by feigning, that the world was eternal or by obliterating the memory of the creations would attempt to obscure the glory of God. Thus the devil, by his guile, turns those away from God who are more ingenious and skillful than others in order that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 2:1-3

Rest and Light. The finished heavens and earth and their host prepare the day of rest. God ended his work as an interchange of darkness and light. I. THE REST OF THE SABBATH IS NOT INACTION , BUT THE CESSATION FROM THE LOWER ORDER OF WORK FOE THE HIGHER . The idea of the first proclamation seems to be that creation was perfectly adjusted through the six days into a settled harmony which puts heaven and earth in their abiding relation to one another. II. Then ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 2:2

And on the seventh day God (Elohim) ended his work which he had made. To avert the possibility of imagining that any portion of the seventh day was consumed in working, which the English version seems to favor, the LXX ; the Samaritan, and Syriac versions insert the sixth day in the text instead of the seventh. Calvin, Drusius, Le Clerc, Rosenmüller, and Kalisch translate had finished . Others understand the sense to be declared the work to be finished, while Baumgarten and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 2:3

And God blessed the seventh day . The blessing (cf. Genesis 1:22 , Genesis 1:28 ) of the seventh day implied— 1. That it was thereby declared to be the special object of the Divine favor. 2. That it was thenceforth to be a day or epoch of blessing for his creation. And— 3. That it was to be invested with a permanence which did not belong to the other six days—every one of which passed away and gave place to a successor. And sanctified it . Literally, declared it holy, or... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 2:3

The two sabbaths: the Divine and the human. I. THE SABBATH OF GOD . A period of— 1. Cessation from toil , or discontinuance of those world-making operations which had occupied the six preceding days ( Hebrews 4:4 ). Never since the close of the creative week has God interfered to fundamentally rearrange the material structure of the globe. The Deluge produced no alteration on the constitution of nature. Nor is there evidence that any new species have been added to its... read more

These are the generations is the usual heading for the different sections into which the Book of Genesis is divided (vial.

Misled by the LXX ; who render toldoth by ἡ βιμβλος γενεμσεως , Ranks, Title, Havernick, Tuch, Ewald, and Stahelin disconnect the entire verse from the second section, which says nothing about the origination... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 2:4-7

Man the living soul. 1. Life is a Divine bestowment. 2. Dust which is Divinely inspired is no longer mere dust; the true life is neither groveling on the earth, nor so much away from the earth as to be no longer the life of a living soul. 3. The creature who is last formed, and for whom all other things wait and are prepared, is made to be the interpreter of all, and the glory of God in them.— R . read more
