John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 1:1

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Ver. 1. In the beginning. ] A BEGINNING there was then, whatever Aristotle a fancied of the world’s eternity. So true is that of a learned Italians - Philosophy seeks after truth; divinity only finds it; religion improves it. b Veritatem quaerit philosophia, invenit theologia, &c.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 1:2

Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Ver. 2.

Psalms 33:9 ; Psa 148:5 a Creation is no motion, but a simple and bare emanation; which is, when without any repugnancy of the patient, or labour of the agent, the work or effect doth voluntarily and freely arise from the action of the working cause, as the shadow from the body. So God’s... read more

And God saw the light that it was good. ] - Moveover he foresaw , so one renders it. a He saw this long before, but he would have us to see it; he commends the goodness of this work of his to us.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 1:5

Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Ver. 5. And God called the light day, &c. ] He taught men to call them so; day ירם , from the noise and hurry; night לילה , from the yelling of wild beasts. Darkness he created not, but only by accident; and yet not that, without some notable use. Much less that darkness of affliction which he is said to "create".

Gen 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. Ver. 6. Let there be a firmament. ] Yet not so firm, but it shall be dissolved. 2Pe 3:11 That it is not presently so; that those windows of heaven are not opened, as once in the deluge, having no better a bar than the liquid air, and we suddenly buried in one universal grave of waters; see a miracle of God’s mercy, and thank him for this powerful word of his, "Let there be a... read more

Waters which were above the firmament. ] That is the clouds, and watery meteors above the lower region of the air, where God’s "pavilion round about him is dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies".

Gen 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. Ver. 8. And the evening, &c. ] Here is no mention of God’s approbation of this second day’s work. Not for that hell was then created, or the reprobate angels then ejected, as the Jews give as the reason of it; but because this day’s work was left unperfected, till the next; to the which, therefore, the blessing was reserved, and is then redoubled.
