Genesis 2:20 NIV

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 2:1-25

This chapter gives us a fuller account of man. Three distinct movements are chronicled in the brief but comprehensive account. First, "Jehovah God formed man of the dust." The Hebrew word "formed" suggests the figure of the potter, molding to shape, material already existing. It is a scientific fact that all the elements in man's physical life are found in the dust of the ground. Second, "Jehovah God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life." This is the final divine act, mysterious and... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 2:19-25

Adam and Eve Genesis 2:19-25 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Genesis is the Book of beginnings. The only thing, so far as man is concerned, before Genesis, is God. Revelation is the Book of the beginning again. We might call it Palingenesis. In the Book of Genesis, God creates the heaven and the earth. In the Book of Revelation we discover the new heavens and the new earth. In order to understand the whole story of the heaven and earth, we must, of course, read the Bible between Genesis and Revelation.... read more

The First Woman Genesis 2:20-25 ; Genesis 3:1-16 INTRODUCTORY WORDS When we enter into the Bible story of creation there is something that makes it all seem so real, so definite, and so certain. Evolution has nothing of certainty in it; the story of creation has everything. For instance, the whole earth was prepared for God's creation of man. Everything that man needed for sustenance, for clothing, for pleasure, was to be found in the physical creation. Thus, as we enter the Garden of Eden,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 2:4-24

The Tree-covered Plain in Eden (Genesis 2:4-24 ). ‘In the day that the Lord God made earth and heavens, when no plant (siach) of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb (‘eseb) of the field had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to serve the ground, there used to come up a mist from the earth which watered the whole face of the ground, and the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 2:4-25

Man’s Establishment and Fall (Genesis 2:4 to Genesis 3:24 ) TABLET II. Genesis 2:0 and Genesis 3:0 form a unit distinguished by the fact that God is called Yahweh Elohim (Lord God), a usage repeated, and constantly used, all the way through (apart from in the conversation between Eve and the serpent), a phrase which occurs elsewhere in the Pentateuch only once, in Exodus 9:30 where it is connected with the thought that the earth is Yahweh’s. It thus connects with creation. This distinctive... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 2:18-20

‘And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone. I will make him a helper who is suitable for him (literally ‘as in front of him’)”. And out of the ground the Lord God formed (or had formed) every beast of the field, and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them, and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field, but for the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 2:4-25

Genesis 2:4 b– Genesis 3:24 . J’ s Story of Creation and Paradise Lost.— This story does not belong to P, for it is free from its characteristics in style, vocabulary, and point of view. It is distinguished from P’ s creation story by differences in form and in matter. The regular and precise arrangement, the oft-repeated formulæ , the prosaic style are here absent. We have, instead, a bright and vivid style, a story rather than a chronicle. The frank anthropomorphism would have been... read more

But though, in giving them names, he considered their several natures and perfections, it was evident to himself, as well as to the Lord, that none of them was an help meet for him. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 2:1-25

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 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. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made (Gen 2:1-3).So we find the creation of the earth in chapter one; the placing of man upon the earth, and then the declaration that on the seventh day God rested. Not... read more
