John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 2:1

Verse 1 1.Thus the heavens and the earth were finished (100) Moses summarily repeats that in six days the fabric of the heaven and the earth was completed. The general division of the world is made into these two parts, as has been stated at the commencement of the first chapter. But he now adds, all the host of them, by which he signifies that the world was furnished with all its garniture. This epilogue, moreover, with sufficient clearness entirely refutes the error of those who imagine that... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 2:2

Verse 2 2.And he rested on the seventh day The question may not improperly be put, what kind of rest this was. For it is certain that inasmuch as God sustains the world by his power, governs it by his providence, cherishes and even propagates all creatures, he is constantly at work. Therefore that saying of Christ is true, that the Father and he himself had worked from the beginning hitherto, (102) because, if God should but withdraw his hand a little, all things would immediately perish and... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 2:3

Verse 3 3.And God blessed the seventh day It appears that God is here said to bless according to the manner of men, because they bless him whom they highly extol. Nevertheless, even in this sense, it would not be unsuitable to the character of God; because his blessing sometimes means the favor which he bestows upon his people, as the Hebrews call that man the blessed of God, who, by a certain special favor, has power with God. (See Genesis 24:31.) Enter thou blessed of God. Thus we may be... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 2:4

Verse 4 4.These are the generations (108) The design of Moses was deeply to impress upon our minds the origin of the heaven and the earth, which he designates by the word generation. For there have always been ungrateful and malignant men, who, either by feigning, that the world was eternal or by obliterating the memory of the creations would attempt to obscure the glory of God. Thus the devil, by his guile, turns those away from God who are more ingenious and skillful than others in order that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 2:1

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished. Literally, and finished were the heavens and the earth, the emphatic position being occupied by the verb. With the creation of man upon the sixth day the Divine Artificer's labors were brought to a termination, and his work to a completion. The two ideas of cessation and perfection are embraced in the import of calais . Not simply had Elohim paused in his activity, but the Divine idea of his universe had been realized. The finished world... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 2:1-3

Rest and Light. The finished heavens and earth and their host prepare the day of rest. God ended his work as an interchange of darkness and light. I. THE REST OF THE SABBATH IS NOT INACTION , BUT THE CESSATION FROM THE LOWER ORDER OF WORK FOE THE HIGHER . The idea of the first proclamation seems to be that creation was perfectly adjusted through the six days into a settled harmony which puts heaven and earth in their abiding relation to one another. II. Then ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 2:2

And on the seventh day God (Elohim) ended his work which he had made. To avert the possibility of imagining that any portion of the seventh day was consumed in working, which the English version seems to favor, the LXX ; the Samaritan, and Syriac versions insert the sixth day in the text instead of the seventh. Calvin, Drusius, Le Clerc, Rosenmüller, and Kalisch translate had finished . Others understand the sense to be declared the work to be finished, while Baumgarten and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 2:3

And God blessed the seventh day . The blessing (cf. Genesis 1:22 , Genesis 1:28 ) of the seventh day implied— 1. That it was thereby declared to be the special object of the Divine favor. 2. That it was thenceforth to be a day or epoch of blessing for his creation. And— 3. That it was to be invested with a permanence which did not belong to the other six days—every one of which passed away and gave place to a successor. And sanctified it . Literally, declared it holy, or... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 2:3

The two sabbaths: the Divine and the human. I. THE SABBATH OF GOD . A period of— 1. Cessation from toil , or discontinuance of those world-making operations which had occupied the six preceding days ( Hebrews 4:4 ). Never since the close of the creative week has God interfered to fundamentally rearrange the material structure of the globe. The Deluge produced no alteration on the constitution of nature. Nor is there evidence that any new species have been added to its... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 2:4

These are the generations is the usual heading for the different sections into which the Book of Genesis is divided (vial. Genesis 5:1 ; Genesis 6:9 ; Genesis 10:1 ; Genesis 11:10 , Genesis 11:27 ; Genesis 25:12 , Genesis 25:19 ; Genesis 36:1 ; Genesis 37:2 ). Misled by the LXX ; who render toldoth by ἡ βιμβλος γενεμσεως , Ranks, Title, Havernick, Tuch, Ewald, and Stahelin disconnect the entire verse from the second section, which says nothing about the origination... read more
