創世記 2:22 RCUVTS

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Genesis 2:1-25

THE CREATIONGenesis 1:1-31; Genesis 2:1-25 IF anyone is in search of accurate information regarding the age of this earth, or its relation to the sun, moon, and stars, or regarding the order in which plants and animals have appeared upon it, he is referred to recent textbooks in astronomy, geology, and palaeontology. No one for a moment dreams of referring a serious student of these subjects to the Bible as a source of information. It is not the object of the writers of Scripture to impart... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Genesis 2:22

2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a {o} woman, and brought her unto the man.(o) Signifying that mankind was perfect, when the woman was created, who before was like an imperfect building. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 2:1-25

THE SEVENTH DAY The first three verses here are directly connected with chapter 1. "Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished." The work of the first creation occupied six days. "All the host of them" evidently refers to the innumerable host of stars and planets which are set by God in the heavens for the benefit of man on earth. Number 7 is the number of completeness, and on that day God rested from all His work. In this case only we read of His blessing the... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Genesis 2:1-25

THE GARDEN OF EDEN GOD’S SABBATH (Genesis 2:1-3 ) The first three verses of this chapter belong to the preceding as a summary of its contents. Of what day do they treat? What did God do on that day? How did He regard it? In the light of the fourth commandment, these verses seem to countenance the thought of creative days of twenty-four hours each; that is, God’s Sabbath seems to be set over against man’s Sabbath, but the two should not be confounded. The latter was made for man and fitted... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Genesis 2:1-25

Adam, Eden, and Eve Gen 2:1-3 Simple and honest is this as the speech of a little child! A child tells you things in lumps and mouthfuls, and hurries on to conclusions in a manner quite its own and not despicable. But was Moses a child? Exactly that and nothing more in book-writing. He had no forerunners to study, no models to copy, no high grammatical authorities to consult. Strange that men should be hard upon him in matters literary, when they have been so long at school and he was never... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 2:18-22

And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 1 Timothy 2:13 ; Ephesians 5:31-32 . As the apostle speaks of this as a figure, and we know that Adam was a figure of Him that was to come; doth it not suggest to us, that as the woman was formed out of the side of the man, when fallen into a deep sleep; so the church of the Lord Jesus was redeemed and issued from his pierced side, when, in the debased state of the sleep of death; he, being... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 2:18-25

18-25 Power over the creatures was given to man, and as a proof of this he named them all. It also shows his insight into the works of God. But though he was lord of the creatures, yet nothing in this world was a help meet for man. From God are all our helpers. If we rest in God, he will work all for good. God caused deep sleep to fall on Adam; while he knows no sin, God will take care that he shall feel no pain. God, as her Father, brought the woman to the man, as his second self, and a help... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Genesis 2:4-25

Gen_2:4 Gen_3:1 The opening words of verse Gen_2:4 must be specially noted, since they indicate the second of the eleven sections into which the book is divided. As printed in our modern Bibles the chapters number 50, but ten times do we find this expression "These are the generations . . ." (with once a slight variation), showing that, as given by inspiration of God, the chapters number eleven. We will point out these inspired divisions at once, so that from the outset we may have them... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 2:21-25

The creation of Woman v. 21. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof. Sleep is the natural restorer of man's bodily and mental vigor and not the result of sin. But here was the unusual factor: God purposely caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, thus taking from him all consciousness of the outside world and of his own life. He then removed one of the man's ribs, closing up the vacant space with... read more
