The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 1:1-2

II. As to the precise manner in which it was imparted to its author, THE VISION THEORY of Kurtz, though declared by Kalisch to be "a complicated tissue of conjectures and assumptions utterly destitute of every , the faintest and remotest , Biblical foundation ," is perhaps, with certain modifications, the best. Rejecting the idea of a series of creative tableaux without any solid substratum of actual fact, there is clearly nothing in the nature of the case to discredit the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 1:2

And the earth . Clearly the earth referred to in the preceding verse, the present terrestrial globe with its atmospheric firmament, and not simply "the land" as opposed to "the skies" (Murphy); certainly not "the heavens" of Genesis 1:1 as well as the earth (Delitzsch); and least of all "a section of the dry land in Central Asia" (Buckland, Pye Smith). It is a sound principle of exegesis that a word shall retain the meaning it at first possesses till either intimation is made by the writer... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 1:2

Chaos an emblem of the unrenewed soul. I. WITHOUT ORDER : existing in a state of spiritual ruin, and requiting a special process of rearrangement to evolve symmetry and beauty from its confusion ( 2 Corinthians 5:16 ). II. WITHOUT LIFE : being dead in trespasses and sins ( Ephesians 2:1 ); absolutely "void" in the sense of being untenanted by lofty thoughts, pure emotions, holy volitions, spiritual imaginations, such as are the inmates of sinless and, in great part also, of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 1:6

Day two . The work of this day consisted in the formation of that immense gaseous ocean, called the atmosphere, by which the earth is encircled. And God said, Let there be a firmament ( rakiya , an expand, from rakah , to beat out; LXX ; στερε ì ωμα ; Vulgate, firmamentum ) in the midst of the waters . To affirm with Knobel, Gesenius, and others that the Hebrews supposed the atmospheric heavens to be a metallic substance ( Exodus 24:10 ), a vault fixed... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 1:7

And God made the firmament . How the present atmosphere was evolved from the chaotic mass of waters the Mosaic narrative does not reveal. The primary intention of that record being not to teach science, but to discover religious truth, the thing of paramount importance to be communicated was that the firmament was of God's construction. This, of course, does not prevent us from believing that the elimination of those gases (twenty-one parts of oxygen and seventy-nine of nitrogen, with a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 1:7

The atmospheric firmament. I. THE CREATURE OF GOD . 1. From God it received its being ( Genesis 1:7 ). Not here alone, but in other parts, Scripture declares the firmament to be the Divine handiwork ( Psalms 19:1 ; Psalms 104:2 ). Whence we may note— 2. From God it received its function ( Genesis 1:6 ),—to divide between the upper and the lower waters,—which was— 3. From God it received its name. II. THE SERVANT OF MAN . 1. Indispensable . ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 1:8

And God called the firmament heaven . Literally, the heights, shamayim , as in Genesis 1:1 . "This," says Principal Dawson, "may be regarded as an intimation that no definite barrier separates our film of atmosphere from the boundless abyss of heaven without;" and how appropriate the designation "heights" is, as applied to the atmosphere, we are reminded by science, which informs us that, after rising to the height of forty-five miles above the earth, it becomes imperceptible, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 1:9

Day three . The distribution of land and water and the production of vegetation on this day engaged the formative energy of the word of Elohim. And God said, Let the waters under heaven be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear . To explain the second part of this phenomenon as a consequence of the first, the disclosure of the solid ground by the retirement of the waters from its surface, and not rather vice versa , is to reverse the ordinary processes of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 1:9-12

Sea, land, and vegetation, contrasted and compared. I. CONTRASTED , in respect of— 1. Their constitutions ; — sea being matter liquid and mobile, land matter solid and dry, vegetation matter organized and living. All God's creatures have their own peculiar natures and characteristic structures. Each one's nature is that which makes it what it is. A change of constitutional characteristics would be equivalent to an alteration of being. The nature and structure of each are... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 1:10

And God called the dry land Earth . In opposition to the firmament, which was named" the heights" ( shamayim ), the dry land was styled "the fiats," "Aretz" (cf. Sansc; dhara ; Pehlev; arta ; Latin, terra ; Gothic, airtha ; Scottish, yird ; English, earth ; rid. Gesenius). Originally applied to the dry ground as distinguished from the seas, as soon as it was understood that the solid earth was continuous beneath the water masses, by an easy extension of meaning it... read more
