The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 1:26

The importance assigned in the Biblical record to the creation of man is indicated by the manner in which it is introduced. And God said, Let us make man. Having already explained the significance of the term Elohim , as suggesting the fullness of the Divine personality, and foreshadowing the doctrine of the Trinity ( Genesis 1:1 ), other interpretations, such as that God takes counsel with the angels (Philo, Aben Ezra, Delitzsch), or with the earth (Maimonides, M . Gerumlius), or... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 1:26-27

The creation of man. Take it— I. As a revelation of God in his relation to man. II. As a revelation of man to himself. I. GOD IN RELATION TO MAN . 1. As the Father as well as Creator . As to the rest of creation, it is said, "Let be," and "it was." As to many "Let us make in our image." Closely kin by original nature, man is invited to intercourse with the Divine. 2. The spirituality of God's highest creature is the bond of union and fellowship. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 1:27

So (or and) God created ( bara , as in Genesis 1:1 , Genesis 1:21 , q.v.) man (literally; the Adam referred to in Genesis 1:26 ) in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them . The threefold repetition of the term "created" should be observed as a significant negation of modern evolution theories as to the descent of man, and an emphatic proclamation of his Divine original . The threefold parallelism of the members of this verse is... read more

The greatness of man. I. THE TIME OF HIS APPEARANCE . The latest of God's works, he was produced towards the close of the era that witnessed the introduction upon our globe of the higher animals. Taking either view of the length of the creative day, it may be supposed that in the evening the animals went forth "to roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God," and that in the morning man arose upon the variegated scene, "going forth to his work and to his labor until the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 1:28

And God blessed them. Not him , as LXX . As on the introduction of animal life the Divine Creator conferred on the creatures his blessing, so when the first pair of human beings are formed they are likewise enriched by their Creator's benediction. And God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply. As in the case of the lower creatures the Divine blessing had respect in the first instance to the propagation and perpetuation of the species, " which blessing," says Calvin, " may ... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 1:26

Genesis 1:26. God said, Let us make man We have here another and still more important part of the sixth day’s work, the creation of man. Having prepared a fit habitation for man, and furnished it with all things necessary for his use and comfort, God now proceeds to create him. But this he does, as it were, with deliberation, nay, and consultation, using a phraseology which he had not used with regard to any other creatures, thereby showing the excellence of man above every other being... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 1:27

Genesis 1:27. So God created man in his own image In his natural, but especially in his moral image, with an habitual conformity of all his powers to the will of God, his understanding clearly discerning, his judgment entirely approving, his will readily choosing, and his affections cordially embracing his chief good; without error in his knowledge, disorder in his passions, or irregularity or inordinancy in his appetites; his senses also being all inlets to wisdom and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 1:28

Genesis 1:28. Be fruitful, and replenish the earth A large estate is given them, and they are to fill it with inhabitants, to cultivate it, and enjoy the fruits it produces. But these words rather contain a benediction and a promise, than a command, as appears from Genesis 1:22, where the same words are applied to the brute creatures, which are not capable of understanding or obeying a command. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 1:1-31

THE STORY OF CREATIONThe Bible and scienceModern science has revealed so much about the wonders and the size of the physical universe that human beings may seem almost to be nothing. The Bible takes a different view. Human beings are its main concern, for they alone are made in God’s image. The story of creation is but an introduction to the story of God’s dealings with the human race. The Bible demonstrates this order of importance from the outset by fitting the story of creation into a mere... read more
