Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 1:1-31

Genesis 1:1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth; all the orbs which revolve and shine in the expanse of heaven, measuring time by days, and years, and periods. By consequence, the sublime system of nature is not eternal. If matter were eternal, then the אלהים Elohim, Ο Θεοτης , the Godhead or Divinity who acts here, is also material, dependent on matter, and a necessary agent. The perfections of wisdom, goodness and love, can no longer be attributed to him. These... read more

Genesis 1:26-27Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likenessThe creation of manI.THAT THE CREATION OF MAN WAS PRECEDED BY A DIVINE CONSULTATION. 1. This consultation was Divine.

Genesis 1:28Have dominionMan’s dominion over the lower animalsI.THIS DOMINION GOD HAS MADE TO ARISE FROM THAT MENTAL SUPERIORITY WHICH CONSTITUTES MAN’S DISTINCTION AND GLORY. 1. The power of man is in his mind. 2. The benefit and extent of man’s dominion is made to depend on the moral as well as the intellectual nature with which he was originally endowed. 3. As God has thus fitted man, by his superior nature, for dominion; so, on the other hand, He has given to the inferior animals a... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 1:26

Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Ver. 26. And God said, Let us make man. ] Man is the masterpiece of God’s handiwork. Sun, moon, and stars are but "the work of his fingers," Psa 8:3 but man the work of his hands.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 1:27

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Ver. 27. So God created man in his own image. ] There is a double image of God in the soul. One in the substance of it, whereof I have spoken in the former verse. The other in the qualities and supernatural graces, of knowledge in the understanding, rightness or straitness in the will, and holiness in the affections. In all these, man, when he came first out of God’s mint, shone... read more

The creatures are man’s servants and household stuff. "God hath... read more
