Genesis 1:1-28 ASV

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 1:27

‘So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them.’ Now man’s privilege is stressed. He is created in God’s own image. Notice the stress on the fact that he is ‘created’, deliberately repeated three times in the verse. Three represents completeness. Again this is something totally new which does not come from what existed before. While his body is of the earth, his essential being is made in the likeness of God and the angels. However the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 1:28

‘And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the face of the earth”.’ Like the living creatures man is ‘blessed’. They are to produce children and populate the earth. This again brings out that sexual functions, rightly used, are blessed by God. The verb ‘subdue’ is strong, as is ‘have dominion’. The latter means... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 1:1-5

Genesis 1:1-5.—Since the formula “These are the generations of” is usually placed by P at the beginning of a section, whereas here it occurs at the end (Genesis 2:4a), it is thought by many that its present position is due to its removal from the beginning of this chapter, and that the story opened with the words “These are the generations of the heaven and of the earth.” But this implies a different use of “generations” from what we find elsewhere in P, who employs it to express what is... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 1:1-31

Genesis 1:1 to Genesis 2:4 a. The Priestly Story of Creation.— This section belongs to the Priestly Document (P). This is shown by the use of several of its characteristic terms, by the constant repetition of the formulæ , and by the formal arrangement. P’ s interest in the origin of religious institutions is displayed in the explanation of the origin of the Sabbath. The lofty monotheism of the section is also characteristic of his theological position.The story rests upon a much older... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 1:6-8

Genesis 1:6-Ruth : . When, on the second morning, light resumes the sway which had been interrupted by the night, God begins the task of evolving order out of chaos. First He makes a “ firmament,” by which is meant a solid vault over-arching the earth. Then the waters of the abyss are divided into two portions, one of which is placed above this firmament, to constitute the waters of the upper or heavenly ocean, the other left where it was, to form “ the deep that coucheth beneath” ( Genesis... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 1:9-13

Genesis 1:9-1 Chronicles : . Two acts are assigned to the third day, the separation of land and water, and the creation of vegetation. The former was apparently effected by the draining of the waters which covered the land into a receptacle (for “ one place” LXX reads “ one gathering” ), so that the dry land emerged into view. It was now possible for it to be clothed with vegetation, first the tender grass, then the herbs or larger plants, and finally trees, especially those that bore fruit.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 1:14-19

Genesis 1:14-Psalms : . The second set of four works on the last three days corresponds to the set of four on the first three. Thus we have the creation of light and of the luminaries; the firmament separating the upper from the lower waters, and the birds which fly across the firmament and the fish in the sea; the appearance of the land and creation of land animals; finally the creation of herbs and fruit, and the creation of man, who till the Flood subsists entirely upon these.The heavenly... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 1:20-23

Genesis 1:20-Isaiah : . On the fifth day were created the denizens of the water and the atmosphere; the creatures that move in swarms in the water, all winged creatures, including insects, and the sea monsters, especially, perhaps, such as belong to mythology, and fishes. The rendering “ bring forth abundantly” is inaccurate; the margin gives the sense, though it would be better to translate with Driver. “ Let the waters swarm with swarming things (even) living souls.” The term is used of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 1:24-31

Genesis 1:24-Obadiah : . The sixth day is occupied with the creation of the land animals and of man. It is natural that a much fuller space than usual should be accorded to the latter. And the solemnity of the act is marked by the formula of deliberation, “ Let us make man.” The plural has been variously explained. Setting aside as beyond the range of the OT the view that the Father addresses the Son and the Holy Spirit, and the view that God speaks of Himself in the plural since He is the... read more

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

In the beginning, to wit, of time and things, in the first place, before things were distinguished and perfected in manner hereafter expressed. Or the sense is this, The beginning of the world was thus. And this phrase further informeth us, that the world, and all things in it, had a beginning, and were not from eternity, as some philosophers dreamed. God created the heaven and the earth; made out of nothing, either, 1. The heaven and earth as now they are with their inhabitants. So this verse... read more
