- VIII. The Sixth Day24. בהמה behēmâh, “cattle; dumb, tame beasts.”רמשׂ remeś, “creeping (small or low) animals.”חוּה chayâh, “living thing; animal.”חוּת־חארץ chayatô-chā'ārets, “wild beast.”26. אדם 'ādām, “man, mankind;” “be red.” A collective noun, having no plural number, and therefore denoting either an individual of the kind, or the kind or race itself. It is connected in etymology with אדמה 'ădāmâh, “the red soil,” from which the human body was formed Genesis 2:7. It therefore... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 1:6

Genesis 1:6. Let there be a firmament This term, which is an exact translation of the word used by the Septuagint, or Greek translation of the Old Testament, by no means expresses the sense of the word used by Moses, רקיע , rakiang, which merely means extension or expansion. And as this extension or expansion was to be in the midst of the waters, and was to divide the waters from the waters, it chiefly, if not solely, means the air or atmosphere which separates the water... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 1:9-10

Genesis 1:9-10 . God said, &c. From the production, or separation from gross matter, of light and air, and the assigning them their proper places and uses in the creation, God proceeds, on the third day, to separate, put in order, and control the clement nearest to them in quality and use, fluid like them, comparatively simple, and pure, and although not elastic, yet of great power. Let the waters be gathered into one place The abyss in the bowels of the earth, Genesis 7:11, and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 1:11-12

Genesis 1:11-12 . Let the earth bring forth grass Here we rise to organized and vegetative bodies. Thus, before God formed any living creature to abide upon the earth, he wisely provided for its sustenance. The herb yielding, seed, whose seed is in itself; that is, in some part of itself: either in the root, or branch, or bud, or fruit; which is sufficient in itself for the propagation of its kind, from generation to generation, as long as the world shall endure, without any new creation.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 1:14-15

Genesis 1:14-15 . Let there be lights, &c. God had said, Genesis 1:3, Let there be light; but that was, as it were a chaos of light, scattered and confused: now it was called and formed into several luminaries, and so rendered more glorious, and more serviceable. Let them be for signs, “An horologe machinery divine!” to mark and distinguish periods of time, longer or shorter; epochas, ages, years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes. For seasons By their motions and influences, to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 1:16

Genesis 1:16. Two great lights Or enlighteners, מארת , meoroth, distinguishable from all the rest, for their beauty and use. Moses terms the moon a great light, only according to its appearance, and the use it is of to us, and not according to the strictness of philosophy. For there is abundant proof that most of the stars are much greater than the moon; although their immense distance makes them appear so much smaller to us. The greater light Not only greater, as it appears to us, but... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 1:20

Genesis 1:20. The moving creature that hath life Endued with self-motion and animal life. How much soever we may be astonished at the stupendous vastness and magnificence of inanimate matter, the least piece that is animated and has life, is still more admirable. But who can conceive the nature of life? We see it daily around us, but cannot comprehend it! We observe that it enables millions and millions of creatures to act, as it were, of themselves, and to seek and obtain such... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 1:21

Genesis 1:21. Great whales The Hebrew word here rendered whales is sometimes put to signify great dragons of the wilderness; (see Jeremiah 9:11; Jeremiah 14:6; Malachi 1:3;) but it undoubtedly here means some very large inhabitants of the waters, and probably what we call whales, whose astonishing bulk and prodigious strength are amazing proofs of the power and glory of the Creator. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 1:22

Genesis 1:22. God blessed them Behold the cause of the continuance in existence, and of the fruitfulness and multiplication, of the sundry kinds of creatures! It is owing to this word only that, though thousands of years have rolled away since their creation, not one species of them, amid so many, has been lost. Hence the inclination in every creature to propagate its species, and hence the wonderful and tender care they take of their young, till they are able to provide for themselves! So... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 1:24-25

Genesis 1:24-25 . Let the earth bring forth He that of stones can raise children to Abraham, and who called forth the universe from nothing, could easily produce animals from the dull and sluggish earth, although inanimate. Cattle Those tame beasts which do not shun the society of men, and are most useful to us for food, clothing, or various services. The beasts of the earth The Hebrew word חית , chaiath, generally signifies the wild beast, which is evidently its meaning here. read more
