John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 1:6

Gen 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. Ver. 6. Let there be a firmament. ] Yet not so firm, but it shall be dissolved. 2Pe 3:11 That it is not presently so; that those windows of heaven are not opened, as once in the deluge, having no better a bar than the liquid air, and we suddenly buried in one universal grave of waters; see a miracle of God’s mercy, and thank him for this powerful word of his, "Let there be a... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 1:7

Gen 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which [were] under the firmament from the waters which [were] above the firmament: and it was so. Ver. 7. Waters which were above the firmament. ] That is the clouds, and watery meteors above the lower region of the air, where God’s "pavilion round about him is dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies". Psa 18:11 Jer 10:13 These he "weighs by measure"; Job 28:25 not a drop falls in vain, or in a wrong place. And this is the first... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 1:8

Gen 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. Ver. 8. And the evening, &c. ] Here is no mention of God’s approbation of this second day’s work. Not for that hell was then created, or the reprobate angels then ejected, as the Jews give as the reason of it; but because this day’s work was left unperfected, till the next; to the which, therefore, the blessing was reserved, and is then redoubled. God delights to do his works, not all at... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 1:9-10

Gen 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it was so. Ver. 9,10. Let the waters under the heaven be gathered, &c. ] The water, they say, is ten times greater than the earth, as is the air ten times greater than the water, and the fire than the air. Sure it is, that the proper place of the water is to be "above the earth". Psa 104:6 Sailors tell us that as they draw nigh to shore, when they enter into the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 1:10

Gen 1:10 And God called the dry [land] Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that [it was] good. Ver. 10. He called earth. ] This is, the earth which we tread (namely, still the land which we manage, the land we desire.) Hoc est, terrain quam terimus (est enim, etiam, terra quam gerimus - our bodies; - and terra quam quaerimus, - heaven) This he called earth , that is, he set it and settled it by the word of his power. Where we may well wonder that... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 1:11-12

Gen 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. Ver. 11,12. Let the earth bring forth, &c. ] "Grass for the cattle, and herb for the use of man" Psa 104:14 and both these before either man or beast were created. He made meat before mouths. He fills for us two bottles of milk before we come into the world. Herbs and other creatures we have still to... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 1:12

Gen 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, [and] herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed [was] in itself, after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good. Ver. 12. And the earth brought forth, &c. ] Augustine a thinks that thorns and thistles, brambles and briers were before the fall, though not in the same abundance as now. Basil thinks otherwise, and that till sin came in, the rose was without prickles. It is likely there were such shrubs at first... read more
