The strict import of the term is that which to my mind is most suitable to the context; the week in which God made the heaven and earth for man seems alone appropriate in introducing the revelation of God. The author passes on from the cattle to the entire earth, and embraces all the animal creation in the expression, "every moving thing () that moveth upon the earth," just as in Genesis 1:28, "every living thing upon the earth." But inGenesis 2:1-25; Genesis 2:1-25, beginning with verse 4, where we have special position and moral responsibility coming to view for the first time, the compound term which expresses the Supreme putting Himself in relation with man, and morally dealing with him here below, is first used, and with the most striking appropriateness. The true key to this account is supplied in the Epistle of Jude. We have to do with facts. What are the ten numerations? It is no otherwise with God's word, save that all illustrations fail to measure the depth of the differences in it. For in laying hold of the three faculties of the soul enumerated by Aristotle, the intellect, the memory, and the will, he afterwards out of one Trinity derives many. Now you have God saying "let us make man in our image after our likeness". ], One writer sought to retain six literal days of creation and to harmonize them with an old age earth model, allowing a long period of time (possibly billions of years) between Genesis 1:2-3. But the chapter does not close until we find Seth, whom God* substituted (for this is the meaning of the name), or "appointed," as it is said, "instead of Abel, whom Cain slew." So always it is. For the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth.". In his original estate man was created in God's image, but he had not the knowledge of good and evil. How remarkably this has been made good in the providential history of the world I need not stay to prove, how Jehovah God connected His name with Shem, to the humiliation of Canaan, and how Elohim enlarged Japhet, who would spread himself not merely in his own destined lot, but even dwell in the tents of Shem, and Canaan humbled there too. "This is the book of the generations of Adam. Psalm 147:4 and Isaiah 40:26 tell us God has the stars all numbered and God has a name for them all.

The first group shows how God created the basic spheres of operation (light and dark; sea and sky; fertile land), the second how he created the features within each of those spheres (lights of day and night; creatures of sea and sky; creatures of the land).This simple creation story, though not intended to be a scientific account, is not in conflict with science. The word "sanctified" actually means to be set apart because that in it, He had rested from all of His work, which God had created, made. This is to rule on a limited scale. of food to man, no mention as yet is made of any other meat than They build their nests, they lay the eggs, they hatch their young. Much more could be said, but we must move on. the cause of causes said to "`jod', he, `vau', he"; that is, to Jehovah, which is in the midst of the ten numerations. Thus we see how the simple truth is after all the deepest wisdom. It is really the basis of fact for not a few tales of mythology which men have made up. Christ only is the express image of God's person, as the Son of his Father, having the same nature. It is the old familiar story, man tried and found wanting as always. V. That God gave to man, when he had made him, a dominion over the inferior creatures, over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air. But it is evident that dispensation, in the true sense of the word, there was none. Give up the immortality of the soul, and you deny the ground of that relationship, man's special moral responsibility to God. of the breath of God by which the being, formed from the dust of the earth, became a living soul. The primeval and prominent objects of human sway are here brought forward after the manner of Scripture. The word light in Hebrew is "or". (85). Our. 2. And here in a secondary sense of the word is the propriety of the phrase "created" in verse 21; and we shall see it also when a new action comes before us in imparting not animal life but a rational soul. Now not only is it not too strong to deny that there is the least ground for such an inference, but one may go farther and affirm that the simplest and surest means of guarding against it, according to the style of the writer, and indeed propriety of language, was afforded by here inserting the word "and." What is the ground of God's dealings now? The wisdom of the inspired writer's silence will be evident to a spiritual mind, and the more, the more it is reflected on. When it is no question of these, creating, making, and forming may be freely used, as in Isaiah 45:18. Cyrus, "The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth" Ezra 1:2. Therefore by this word the perfection of our whole nature is designated, as it appeared when Adam was endued with a right judgment, had affections in harmony with reason, had all his senses sound and well-regulated, and truly excelled in everything good. Another divine, but an infidel, regards the knowledge of good and evil as the image of God by creation. Check out this great listen on Audible.com.

And the same was in the beginning with God, and all things were made by Him"(Joh 1:1). It is the issue of that probationary trial which was proposed there. This was made in the image and likeness of God. On the words "in our image, after our likeness" modern commentators have correctly observed, that there is no foundation for the distinction drawn by the Greek, and after them by many of the Latin Fathers, between (imago) and (similitudo), the former of which they supposed to represent the physical aspect of the likeness to God, the latter the ethical; but that, on the contrary, the older Lutheran theologians were correct in stating that the two words are synonymous, and are merely combined to add intensity to the thought: "an image which is like Us" (Luther); since it is no more possible to discover a sharp or well-defined distinction in the ordinary use of the words between and , than between and .

Genesis 1:26. way of speaking did not obtain very early, not even till the If this appearance were actually the fact, it would be impossible to escape the conclusion that the text is faulty, and that has fallen out; so that the reading should be, "and over all the wild beasts of the earth," as the Syriac has it. You can study it yourself by clicking the Scripture itself then scrolling down page. We also know that it was customary with the Hebrews to repeat the same thing in different words. Though the twins may have come from the same cell, divided and thus, they have the same chromosome content and gene content as each other, yet the variations that develop, I just am amazed at creation. But there is no word coupling the introductory statement of verse 1 with what follows. United as one humanity, male and female are one with God and his heavenly court. The plural "We" was regarded by the fathers and earlier theologians almost unanimously as indicative of the Trinity: modern commentators, on the contrary, regard it either as pluralis majestatis; or as an address by God to Himself, the subject and object being identical; or as communicative, an address to the spirits or angels who stand around the Deity and constitute His council. the creation, and much less in the more noble part of it: nor are And here we find the solemn truth, that not only did Jehovah-Elohim cause to grow every tree that is pleasant and good for food, but "the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.". The last is Philo's explanation: ( equals angels). The atmosphere has been created to sustain his life. 9-54, for a discussion of the subject.]. 2. iii.

Genesis 1:26, ESV: Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.

The meaning is that God created everything good the world and mankind (Genesis 1:4, 10, 12, 18, 21, 25, 31), but mankind sinned and destroyed paradise. Hence the believer finds not the slightest difficulty. Take, for instance, the way in which the book of Genesis opens. Man feels that this is exactly what is appropriate to God. There was the whole matter. We did not evolve from other lower forms of life. By the blessing in Genesis 1:28, God not only confers upon man the power to multiply and fill the earth, as upon the beasts in Genesis 1:22, but also gives him dominion over the earth and every beast. But there is enough in man's amplification to point to what is stated here in a few simple words of truth. See more on this in my commentary on Hebrews 2. If, in consequence of the curse pronounced upon the earth after the sin of man, who was appointed head and lord of nature, the whole creation was subjected to vanity and the bondage of corruption (Romans 8:20. him), ( Proverbs This apparently means that a relationship of close fellowship can exist between God and man that is unlike the relationship of God with the rest of his creation. Thus the chief seat of the Divine image was in his mind and heart, where it was eminent: yet was there no part of him in which some scintillations of it did not shine forth. 23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. Others have spoken spoken rashly and wrongly. When the scientist tells us how rains falls or how grass grows, we do not contradict him by saying, But the Bible says God makes the rain fall, God makes the grass grow (Matthew 5:45; Matthew 6:30). Fourth, it is also in harmony with the elementary facts of geological knowledge. Conclusion: God desired that man would be like Him. Fires and candles, the luminaries of this lower world, because they waste, and go out, have a power to light more; but it is not so with the lights of heaven: stars do not kindle stars. Lyra. That is another matter, and by ho means of such consequence as many suppose. [Note: E.g., Claus Westermann, Genesis 1-11 : A Commentary, p. The Bible tells us that God is the Creator, and it reveals something of his purposes in creation, but if people want to find out how the physical creation functions, they must do so by hard work as God has appointed (Genesis 3:19). And then He said, "Thou shalt not make unto thyself any graven image or any likeness of God to bow down and to worship it". It cannot be believed that God discussed the creation with the angels and included them as participants in His decision to create man. Professor Davidson, On the plural form of the word Elohim. ], "Us" is probably a plural of intensification (see my comment on Genesis 1:1 above), though some regard it as a plural of self-deliberation (cf. What scripture gives here or elsewhere seems to me altogether at variance with such a thought. The doctrine in systematic theology is that God's image within became corrupted and defiled; yet that even then he was not altogether forsaken; and that the course of his history declares by what means it has pleased God to renew, in some measure, His lost image, etc. It just testifies to God's neat, inventive genius, and being able to take same basic features and just creates an infinite number of varieties.God evidently likes variety. God could introduce him, and could leave the heart to feel the rightness of saying no more about him than was necessary. See Notes 2 and 5, at page 75.

But He will still be bearing the marks of His cross, and may be the only malformed body in heaven.So, "God making man in His own image and after His own likeness" is speaking of that spiritual nature and those capacities of God: self-determination, love, those capacities that He has given to me.And God blessed them, and he said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth over the earth (Gen 1:28). 133.]. And there Jehovah, accepting the sweet savour, declares that He "will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake. (See The image of God below. He will withhold no good from those who walk uprightly; and there is no other way than Jesus Christ our Lord. This was decided not by some grave and mighty matter, of which man could reason and see the consequences, but simply by doing or not doing the will of God. But when all this is done with, who was it that shut Noah in? Then (Genesis 4:1-26) we have a new scene, which opens with a change in the name of God. Their effect upon the earth helped to produce a variety of weather and a pattern of annual seasons (14-19; fourth day).As Gods creative activity moved on, animal life began to appear, with creatures in the sea and creatures in the air, all of them suited to their environment (20-23; fifth day). God has the capacity to reason, so He created us with the ability to reason. as appears by comparing it with Genesis 1:24 so as to keep them in awe, and . But they cannot produce facts, for they have none. The preservation of the creatures which required the ark. Believers may therefore hesitate to dismiss a scientific theory simply by saying, But I believe God did it, because the theory may have been the way God has done it. We can easily see the propriety of this. Alas! THE NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY is for the minister or Bible student who wants to understand and expound the Scriptures. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil" So it was that the serpent envenomed morally the heart of the woman first, and then of the man. Thank you for joining me for the Monday Marriage Message. Believers have constantly called it a "promise;" but it is not uninstructive to see that scripture never does. If in the first chapter the true God shows Himself in creative power and glory, and in the perfect beneficence which marks too that which He had made; if in the second special relations display yet more His moral way and will, so the serpent does not fail to manifest his actual condition and aim not of course the condition in which he was made, but that to which sin had reduced him. If men, and men too of ability and learning, have tortured the signs of its very perfection into proofs of defective and clashing documents, ridiculously combined by a man who did not perceive that he was editing not fables only but inconsistent fables, what can believers do but wonder at human blindness, and adore divine grace ' For themselves, with glowing gratitude they receive it as the precious word of God, where His love and goodness and truth shine in a way beyond all comparison, and yet meeting the mind and heart in the least, no less than in the most serious, wants that each day brings here below. No later revelation in the smallest degree corrects the very first. F8; and they also speak F9 of Adam MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE Man. God made but one male and one female, that all the nations of men might know themselves to be made of one blood, descendants from one common stock, and might thereby be induced to love one another.

Oh, you helped it propagate itself.There are other seeds that develop a quick-drying glue. That man was made male and female, and blessed with the blessing of fruitfulness and increase. , from , lit., a shadow, hence sketch, outline, differs no more from , likeness, portrait, copy, than the German words Umriss or Abriss (outline or sketch) from Bild or Abbild (likeness, copy). And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. They have conceived that, coupling the second verse with the first, it suggests the notion that when God created the earth it was in the state described in the second verse. That man's creation was a more signal and immediate act of divine wisdom and power than that of the other creatures. In short, Christ has intervened, and this most weighty consequence is connected with it that, although everything manifests evil and ruin increasingly, God has triumphed in grace and in faith after the fall and before "the new heavens and the new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." The text we are studying for Sunday, September 16 is Genesis 1:26-31 + 2:4-7.This is that portion of the creation story or stories in Genesis 1 & 2 that deals with the creation of adam, which is variously translated (in the NRSV, anyway) as "humankind" (Genesis 1:26 & 27) and as "man" (Genesis 2:7).This means we're skipping over the institution of the Sabbath (Genesis 2:1-3), and . That he should be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth, to subdue it, and have dominion over the other created beings of God.And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb-yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. The sun, moon, and stars, would certainly have been first introduced, had man simply pursued the workings of his own mind, or those of observation and experience. In the spiritual being that exercises reason and will resides the power to act, which presupposes both these faculties - the reason as informing the will, and the will as directing the power. Thus, as God appeared to man in the Old Testament, there was no form, so that man would not think of God in the terms of a form and try to carve out a form that would represent God.The likeness of God we see in Jesus Christ; the fullness of the Godhead bodily dwells in Christ. Man's present experience would have suggested neither; yet his heart and conscience, unless rebellious, feel how right and becoming all is in such a state of things none other so good. Genesis 2:1-25. assumes Genesis 1:1-31, but adds moral elements of the utmost importance and interest. Genesis 47:1-50:26 Chapter 47 1 So Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, "My father and my brothers, with their flocks and herds and all that they possess, have come from the land of Canaan; they are now in the land of Goshen." 2 And from among his brothers he took five men and presented them to Pharaoh. Adam on the very first day of his life, even before Eve was formed, gave the animals their names, and God Himself sanctioned what their head uttered. besides, the phrase itself shows that the second term was added for the sake of explanation, Let us make, he says, man in our image, according to our likeness, that is, that he may be like God, or may represent the image of God. "And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell." Hitherto, it had been said, "Let there be light," and "Let there be a firmament," and "Let the earth, or waters, bring forth" such a thing; but now the word of command is turned into a word of consultation, "Let us make man, for whose sake the rest of the creatures were made: this is a work we must take into our own hands." However, this explanation does violence to the Hebrew text. The same principle applies in other fields of science. 8:30 ) and to this ancient Adam he said, "let us make man in "Thou madest him (man) a little lower than the angels; Thou crownest him with glory and honor, and didst set him over the works of thy hands" (Hebrews 2:5-7). Answer (1 of 4): > 26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness. Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. Every subject that comes before us is dealt with in a new point of view suitably to the new name given to God the name of God as a moral governor, no longer simply as a creator. For God is not now first beginning to consider what form he will give to man, and with what endowments it would be fitting to adorn him, nor is he pausing as over a work of difficulty: but, just as we have before observed, that the creation of the world was distributed over six days, for our sake, to the end that our minds might the more easily be retained in the meditation of Gods works: so now, for the purpose of commending to our attention the dignity of our nature, he, in taking counsel concerning the creation of man, testifies that he is about to undertake something great and wonderful. Consequently the attempt of man's mind by what is now to judge of what was then always ends in the merest confusion and total failure. Here man is at sea; but where he does arrive at conclusions, this at least is the common consent, as far as I know, of all who have given their minds to the study, that there are three, and only three, divisions into which nations properly diverge. So, the parents fly off to Hawaii, leaving their kids in Alaska! But I don't have to, again I have a choice, and I can choose to hate if I want. Thus man was rich before he was born. We gather from the present chapter that God is a spirit Genesis 1:2, that he thinks, speaks, wills, and acts (Genesis 1:3-4, etc.). 2. If you're not saying that already, you'll be saying it before you sit in too many gas lines. The highest, the holiest, the only suitable way, once it is laid before us, evidently is what God Himself has employed in His word. I still know it's daytime, because there's light, but yet I don't see the sun. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Cain was born, and the fallen mother gave the name: but, oh, what a mistake! Man is fallen, and the creature made subject to vanity. God forbid that by indulging the body and the desires of it we should make ourselves like the beasts that perish! The word "meor" is a light holder. Hence, therefore, as closing all the previous state of things, where man was not spoken of, preparing the way for the Adamic earth, the Spirit of God is seen brooding upon the face of the waters. California - Do Not Sell My Personal Information. That is why human beings, in spite of the dignity and status given them by God, cannot exist independently of God. On the contrary, we have all read these chapters in the Bible, and we may have read them as believers too, without seeing their immense scope and profound accuracy all at once. (87) I answer, is not in the original, but is taken from the French translation. Here accordingly we find in Genesis 2:1-25, with a fulness and precision given nowhere else, God's entering into relationship with man, and man's relation to Eden, to the animal realm, and to woman specially. And it is able to take out of the soil just the necessary chemicals to support that particular plant; able to tell the difference between the chemicals, knows just the chemicals that it needs out of the soil to feed the particular plant that it's coming from, to bring the moisture up out of the soil and all. Chapter 12 Abram moves to Canaan by faith and fails in Egypt. set up by Josephus and a crowd of Greek and Latin fathers, the Nile according to Jarchi and other Rabbis, the Indus of late reasserted by Ewald, more than one of the fathers considering it to be the Danube! There was a famine in the land: Though Isaac lived in the land God promised to his father Abraham and his descendants, it did not mean that life in the land would be without trouble or challenge. Was it a state for a promise? And knowing me and loving me, and knowing what is best, He seeks to influence my choice and to direct my choice, but I always have the right to say, "bug off, God, I don't want to follow you." [Note: Sailhamer, "Exegetical Notes . "The serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah-Elohim had made.". Then the earth is described as void and waste, and (not as succeeding, but accompanying it) darkness upon the face of the deep, contemporaneously with which the Spirit of God broods upon the face of the waters. This is the prime key to the works of every ancient author, if we can only discover it. It is not the fact that Genesis 2:7; Genesis 2:19, represents man as created first of all living creatures before the birds and beasts; any more than that man created in God's image (Genesis 1:27) contradicts the statement ofGenesis 2:7; Genesis 2:7, that he was formed of the dust of the ground. Other places in the Old Testament it is translated Gods. 15 My frame was not hidden from you. "And in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, the Word was God. God created (cf.

First of all there was the creation by God both of the heavens and of the earth. This sentence is not translated either in the French or Old English version. "The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." There is no statement, from beginning to end of scripture, as far as I am aware, which in the smallest degree modifies or takes away from the force of the words with which the Bible opens "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.". Genesis 1:26 is used by many Trinitarians to say that God is a Trinity because of the words "let us." Although this would be an acceptable way to understand God's saying if the plurality of God or the Trinity was defined anywhere else in the scriptures, God is never called three or three in one, but is always defined as one (John 5:44, 17 . Thus in relation to His place as creator God preserved two of every sort; in relation to His own moral government He would have seven taken into the ark seven animals of each clean sort; of the unclean just enough would be there to preserve what He had made. 1. And it is this unity between male and female, and between humanity and God, that is destroyed in the Fall described in Genesis 3." We see introduced, without more delay upon the scene, one too well and yet too little known, the active, audacious, most subtle adversary of God and man, the serpent from whom sin and misery result, as the Bible witnesses from the beginning to the end who is here first brought in a few quiet words before us.
