Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 1:9-31

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.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 1:1-31

Genesis 1:1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth; all the orbs which revolve and shine in the expanse of heaven, measuring time by days, and years, and periods. By consequence, the sublime system of nature is not eternal. If matter were eternal, then the אלהים Elohim, Ο Θεοτης , the Godhead or Divinity who acts here, is also material, dependent on matter, and a necessary agent. The perfections of wisdom, goodness and love, can no longer be attributed to him. These... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 1:16

16. Two great lights This designation of the sun and moon is of itself sufficient to show that the work of the fourth day is phenomenal and popular, not scientific . We know that the moon is but the small satellite of a relatively small planet, and a mere atom as compared with the magnitude of some of the stars. But to man it is one of the two great lightbearers. He made the stars also The Hebrew is simply, and the stars. That is, they, too, were made and placed in the heavenly... read more
