Genesis 2:24

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

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

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

SECOND SECTIONMan—Paradise—the Paradisaical Pair and the Paradisaical Institutions,—Theocratic—Jehovistic. Genesis 2:4-25.A.—The Earth waiting for Man.4These are the generations [genealogies]14 of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day [here the six days are one day] that the Lord God [not God Jehovah, much less God the Eternal. Israel’s God as God of all the world] made the earth and the heavens [the theocratic heavens are completed from the earth], 5And every plant of... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 2:18-25

Man and Woman, Temptation Genesis 2:18-25 ; Genesis 3:1-8 Human love is God’s best gift to man. Without it even Eden would not be Paradise. That Adam was able to name the animals, affixing a title suggested by some peculiarity or characteristic, indicated his royal supremacy, and, in so far as we live in God, that supremacy is restored. See Daniel 6:22 ; Mark 1:13 . But what is power without love, or a throne without a consort? Eve was, therefore, given to crown his bliss; taken from his... read more

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

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 2:20-25

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

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 2:22-25

The Cross in Genesis Genesis 2:22-25 ; Genesis 3:1-24 INTRODUCTORY WORDS If Jesus Christ, in the purposes of God, was given to die before the world was formed, or before man was created; and if man, when he sinned, had no other way of salvation than through the Cross; and if God, in mercy, desired the salvation of the first fallen pair, we certainly would expect to find, in the opening chapters of Genesis, definite statements concerning Christ's Calvary work. It will be the purpose of this... read more

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
