Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 2:19

19. Every beast of the field That is, representative animals of the garden; not, as some would understand, (and thence erect a skeptical objection to the history,) all the genera, species, and individuals of the animal creation of all climates throughout the world . The apparent design of the writer in introducing here this statement of the animals of Paradise was to show that among all these lower orders of animal life there was no proper companion for the man. He gave these several... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 2:20

20. Adam gave names to all cattle Adam was the first great scientist . For what is all natural science but a discovery of the objects of nature, observing, discriminating, and giving them names? Adam, by a lofty intuition, and a judgment and inspiration unrivaled by any of his sons, first gave facile expression in names to the qualities of the creatures he observed . “Still we are not to suppose that Adam’s insight into the character of the animals was a perfect comprehension of the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 2:24

24. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh Some interpreters (Delitzsch, Lange) regard these as the words of Adam, spoken as by a prophetic impulse from God; while others (Keil, Gerlach, Turner) regard them as the words of the inspired historian . The latter is the more probable view . In Matthew 19:3-6, Jesus showed from this passage that the marriage tie is most holy and inviolable . Says Otto von Gerlach: “There... read more
