Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 2:1-2

Creation Scenes Genesis 1:11-31 ; Genesis 2:1-2 INTRODUCTORY WORDS In Genesis 1:11 and Genesis 1:12 , we find the story of God's command to the earth to bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit. In all of this there is a wonderful depth of meaning affecting our spiritual lives. 1. The call of God to us is for fruitfulness. Whether it be in the natural earth or in the lives of saints, the great heart of God desires fruit. We remember how Christ said on one... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 2:1-10

The Beginning and the Beginning Again Genesis 1:26-31 ; Genesis 2:1-10 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The word Genesis means the "beginning." It is the first Book of the Bible, and in its opening chapters we have the story of the beginning of the original creation, of the earth renewed and blessed, of the creation of man and of woman, of the vision of the Garden of Eden, of the entrance of sin and Satan, of the pronunciation of the curse, etc. The Book of Revelation is the Book of the "new beginning."... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 2:1

THE COMPLETED WORK‘Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.’ Genesis 2:1 The heavens and the earth were finished when God created man in His own image. Then the universe was what He designed it to be; then He could look, not upon a portion of it, but upon the whole of it, and say, ‘It is very good.’I. We are told: (1) ‘God made man in His own image; male and female created He them’; and (2) ‘He made man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 2:3

THE SACRED DAY‘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.’ Genesis 2:3 I. Whether the patriarchs were or were not commanded to keep the Sabbath is a thing which we can never know; it is no safe foundation for our thinking ourselves bound to keep it, that the patriarchs kept it before the Law was given, and that the commandment had existed before the time of Moses, and was only confirmed by him and... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 2:1

‘Thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all the host of them.’ This use of the word ‘host’ is unusual. Here it signifies the totality of creation, including sun, moon and stars, the different types of vegetation, fish, creatures and animals, and man, everything contained therein. Nothing remains unfinished. Every part has its place and it is completed to the last dot. Note that ‘the heavens and the earth’ refers back to verse Genesis 1:1. Thus what has been described is the detail of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 2:2-3

‘And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made, and he rested (ceased work) on the seventh day from all the work which he had made. So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because that in it God rested from all his work which God had created and made.’ Note the distinction again brought out between ‘created’ and ‘made’. There is a clear distinction in activity. God both created and made. First He created the matter which He then through some unexplained process... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 2:1-4

Genesis 2:1-Numbers : a. Thus in six days God completed His work of creation, and as He reviewed it He uttered the same verdict on the whole, only in a heightened form (“ very good” and not merely “ good” ) that He had uttered on the successive stages. For the whole is not the mere sum of the parts, it is a unity in which these separate parts dovetail into each other and work together in perfect mutual adjustment and co-operation. It is here described as “ the heaven and the earth . . . and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 2:1

All the creatures in heaven and earth are called their hosts, for their multitude, variety, order, power, and subjection to the Lord of hosts. Particularly the host of heaven in Scripture (which is its own best interpreter) signifies both the stars, as Deuteronomy 4:19; Deuteronomy 17:3; Isaiah 34:4; and the angels, as 1 Kings 22:19; 2 Chronicles 18:18; Luke 2:13; who from these words appear to have been created within the compass of the first six days, which also is probable from Colossians... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 2:2

God ended his work, or rather had ended or finished, for so the Hebrew word may be rendered, as all the learned know, and so it must be rendered, else it doth not agree with the former chapter, which expressly saith that all these works were done within six days. He rested, not for his own need and refreshment, for he is never weary, Isaiah 40:28; but for our example and instruction, that we might keep that day as a day of religious rest. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 2:3

God blessed the seventh day, by conferring special honours and privileges upon it above all other days, that it should be a day of solemn rest and rejoicing and celebration of God and his works, and a day of God’s bestowing singular and the best blessings upon his servants and worshippers. He separated it from common use and worldly employments, and consecrated it to the worship of God, that it should be accounted a holy day, and spent in holy works and solemn exercises of religion. Some... read more
