Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 2:24

Genesis 2:24 I. The gift of speech to Adam was in itself a sublime prophecy that man was not to remain alone and without a companion in the garden where God had placed him. Glorious as man's condition was, there was yet a want the shadow of some yearning hung upon his brow. The sleep that fell upon Adam was no common sleep, like that of wearied humanity; it was something higher. The old Greek translation has it "an ecstasy." It was a prophetic sleep. While he slept, the Lord God built for him a... read more

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.WHEN the creation was formed, it was proper that every part of it should shew forth the Creator’s glory, and, as far as its peculiar nature and capacity would admit of, fulfil his will.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 2:1-25

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 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 (Gen 2:1-3).So we find the creation of the earth in chapter one; the placing of man upon the earth, and then the declaration that on the seventh day God rested. Not... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 2:1-25

Genesis 2:1. By host is meant, not the angels, as some have thought, but the starry heavens. Psalms 33:6. Genesis 2:2. On the seventh day God ended his work. The Samaritan Pentateuch reads, the sixth day. The variation is accounted for by the variation in reckoning the hours at which the sabbath began. On the sabbath, see Ezekiel 20:12; Ezekiel 20:20. Genesis 2:6. A mist watered the whole face of the ground, the rainy season of the climate not being then come. Deuteronomy 11:14.... read more

This ordinance of God concerning man’s labour (as are all the rest of His laws) is both equal and good. 1. That men might exercise their love to the creatures, wherein they some ways resemble God Himself. 2. That they might have some title, in equity, to the use of the creature, which they preserve by their labour. 3. That by busying themselves about the creatures,... read more

Genesis 2:16-17In the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die.The fall of manThese words were fulfilled at the time they were spoken; they have been fulfilled ceaselessly thereafter. We live in a universe of death. The phenomenon is common to us, but no familiarity can rob it of its dreadfulness; for the dead, who are the more in number, have kept their awful secret unrevealed, and the child who died yesterday knows more than can be guessed at by the thousand millions of living men.... read more
