But this was not Adam's state, but simply made upright, with absence and ignorance of evil. Man was not made in the likeness of any creature that went before him, but in the likeness of his Creator; yet still between God and man there is an infinite distance. Were even the word of God silent on this subject, we could not infer less from the lights held out to us by reason and common sense. "Jehovah-Elohim took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it." Noah might have been enabled to shut himself in; but how much more blessed that Jehovah should do it! Not that one could say positively that so it was; but certainly it is to be supposed that little time could have passed after receiving the woman, his wife. IV. The Lord renew it upon our souls by his sanctifying grace! He begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; knowledge, righteousness, and true holiness. 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. Your eyes are picking it all up and sending all those messages into the brain. The Text of Genesis 1:26-28. Proud member It is evident therefore that in the one case we have that which was generally necessary, in the other case that which was special and due to the relationship in which man was placed with Jehovah. His quotation is from R. F. R. Gardener, Abortion: The Personal Dilemma. b. Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament. Others blend them together, and say there is an Hendiadys, that is, according to the image most like us. Every one of them is a perfect geometrical pattern, but no two snowflakes alike. Thus, it appears from the very beginning that God is represented as a compound unity. It is very simply a measure for perpetuating the creature by God the Creator, in spite of imminent judgment. Here it would not have served His purpose to say, "Jehovah remembered every living thing," because every living thing was not in moral relationship with God. Here we have the general review and approval of everything God had made, at the close of the six days work of creation. What is the meaning of Genesis 1:1? Oneness in marriage is essential if husband and wife are to fulfill Gods purposes for humankind. God saw His work, and behold it was all very good; i.e., everything perfect in its kind, so that every creature might reach the goal appointed by the Creator, and accomplish the purpose of its existence. #1 "Then God said,". "After His likeness". If divine power separated the earth from the waters, why should it remain saturated? And God saw that it was good. And chapter one was written by the "Elohistic"; chapter two by the "Jehovistic." The atmosphere has been created to sustain his life. All this is an added account. You may form opinions; but for the truth, and even for such facts as the world's history before man had an existence in it facts as to which there can be no testimony from the creature on the earth, we find the need of His word who knew and wrought all from the beginning. That's gonna worry you, isn't it?But, oh, how marvelous is our God! co-workers with God in creation F7: and man being the principal We were created directly by God to represent Him on the earth and have dominion over every other . So here God states the great truth of creation; for what is more important, short of redemption, always excepting the manifestation of the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God? Such was not the usual style of monarchs in the ancient East. For (ver. ], The theological controversy in Moses day was not between trinitarianism and unitarianism but between one self-existent, sovereign, good God and many limited, capricious, often wicked gods. In Hebrew there is a dual tense, two, and the Hebrew "Elah" is God in a dual tense. I'm made in the image of God, who is a self-determinant being.Now, if God created me with a capacity of choice, it would be totally meaningless unless He gave me a choice. The real worth of God's promises cannot be lessened to a believer by any cross providences that . We can see afterwards how verified the curse was, as it will be yet more. Was it a time for a promise? p. 344. And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. In the remarkable list, which is pursued down to Noah, we have another great truth set forth in the most simple and beautiful way the power of life which exempts from the reign of death, and not only that, but the witness to heaven as a place for man. introduced into it as into an house ready prepared and furnished Moreover, this view is irreconcilable with the words "in our image, after our likeness;" since man was created in the image of God alone (Genesis 1:27; Genesis 5:1), and not in the image of either the angels, or God and the angels. , over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers, Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament. For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. In the previous description, which had not to do with man, there was silence about the Spirit of God; but, as the divine wisdom is shown inProverbs 8:1-36; Proverbs 8:1-36 to rejoice in the habitable parts of the earth, so the Spirit of God is always brought before us as the immediate agent in the Deity whenever man is to be introduced. Yet we still thank God, for we know that he is the provider of all things. Such an interpretation should be rejected for at least four reasons. Not a word of this again occurs in the previous chapter. There is some disagreement among Old Testament scholars regarding what distinguishes biblical poetry from biblical prose. 3. For besides the deformity which everywhere appears unsightly, this evil also is added, that no part is free from the infection of sin. Now comes in the shadow of what God would do fully another day. And the same was in the beginning with God, and all things were made by Him"(Joh 1:1). Yet, wonderful to say, in the very announcement of judgment on the serpent, God, who had by the light of His presence compelled the guilty pair to come forth out of the darkness in which they had hid, or rather sought to hide God held out the first bright light of mercy, but mercy in the judgment of him who was the root of the evil. What does it mean? Scripture is divine from first to last. This elementary truth is of immense importance at the present moment. Yet it was both an honour and a favour to him that he was made last: an honour, for the method of the creation was to advance from that which was less perfect to that which was more so; and a favour, for it was not fit he should be lodged in the palace designed for him till it was completely fitted up and furnished for his reception. It is owing to this blessing, which God commanded at first, that the race of mankind is still in being, and that as one generation passeth away another cometh. 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. [Note: E.g., Claus Westermann, Genesis 1-11 : A Commentary, p. Man, as well as other things, was very good when he came from his Makers hand; but good as yet untried, and therefore good in capacity rather than in victory over temptation. "Secondly, in Genesis 1, man, the image bearer, is the object of Gods blessing. Man.Hebrew, Adam. The water systems are all there, the animals, and now man to rule over it. The Spirit of God has acted quite otherwise. You can study it yourself by clicking the Scripture itself then scrolling down page. "And God blessed them, and said Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth " The procreation and nurture of the continuing generations of mankind upon earth is a God-ordained privilege and commandment. Now, as the Divine Being is infinite, he is neither limited by parts, nor definable by passions; therefore he can have no corporeal image after which he made the body of man. 119. already made, but as near as could be in the likeness and image Thus a peculiarity in scripture, when understood, is pregnant with truth, having its source in God's wisdom, not in human infirmity. But now, although some obscure lineaments of that image are found remaining in us; yet are they so vitiated and maimed, that they may truly be said to be destroyed. Man was the pinnacle of His splendid super-structure, underlining the peculiar importance of man in God's economy, for man was to be God's representative on earth, crowned with his Maker . [Note: See James Jordan, "Rebellion, Tyranny, and Dominion in the Book of Genesis," Christianity and Civilization 3 (Summer 1983):38-80. It is not, but rather of moral relationship. Any one who is acquainted with the chief writings of the old idolatrous world, of the Greeks and Romans especially, will see that what God has veiled in this brief statement, which passes calmly over that of which more had better not be spoken, is what they have amplified into the Titans and the giants and their greater deities. 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 . We also know that it was customary with the Hebrews to repeat the same thing in different words. If its language were that of modern science, people in former ages would not have understood it, and people in future ages would find it out of date. Where all was bright and good around man in innocency the scope for labour would not have its place. Such is the power and simplicity of faith. 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. But short of Christ's person and work, there is nothing more characteristic of God than creation. But here I stop for the present. Again, the first three days refer to a lower, the second three to a higher order of things. The sun is merely the greater light to rule the day, and the moon the lesser light to rule the night. - Ziegler.). 164-72.] And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them (Gen 1:24-27). 124.] Man, as soon as he was made, had the whole visible creation before him, both to contemplate and to take the comfort of. ], "Image" and "likeness" are essentially synonymous terms. 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. Genesis 11:7; Psalms 2:3). of formless points to the "formlessness" of the earth in contrast to the creative order God will create in Ge 1:3-26. As the earth produced them at the creative word of God, the different individuals and generations would also have passed away and returned to the bosom of the earth, without violent destruction by the claws of animals or the hand of man, as soon as they had fulfilled the purpose of their existence. God said, "Let us make man." God divided light and darkness, waters and dry land, the world above from the world below. As the crisis hour is approaching, the saying of which we've been warning, as man has carelessly lived as though there was no tomorrow, we're coming soon to the day when they'll be no tomorrow. It may be observed, that the plural number is used, "let them", which shows that the name "man" is general in the preceding clause, and includes male and female, as we find by the following verse man was created: and over the cattle, and over all the earth; over the tame creatures, either for food, or clothing, or carriage, or for all of them, some of them for one thing, and some for another; and over all the wild beasts of the earth, which seem to be meant by the phrase, "over all the earth"; that is, over all the beasts of the earth, as appears by comparing it with Genesis 1:24 so as to keep them in awe, and keep them off from doing them any damage: and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; to make use of it as should seem convenient for them. If any reader, having leisure, wishes to enjoy such speculations, let him read the tenth and fourteenth books on the Trinity, also the eleventh book of the City of God. I acknowledge, indeed, that there is something in man which refers to the Fathers and the Son, and the Spirit: and I have no difficulty in admitting the above distinction of the faculties of the soul: although the simpler division into two parts, which is more used in Scripture, is better adapted to the sound doctrine of piety; but a definition of the image of God ought to rest on a firmer basis than such subtleties. The first verse is not a summary. Notable features include: * commentary based on THE NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION; * the NIV text printed in the body of the commentary; * sound scholarly methodology that reflects capable research in the original . First, that interpretation only is valid which is true to the meaning of the author. Take, for instance, the way in which the book of Genesis opens. ) ( Ecclesiastes Commentary on Genesis 26:1-5 (Read Genesis 26:1-5) Isaac had been trained up in a believing dependence upon the Divine grant of the land of Canaan to him and his heirs; and now that there is a famine in the land, Isaac still cleaves to the covenant. 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. As Christ came into our world without sin, his true rank therefore was that of Adam, as God had created Adam, and before the Fall. A holy being might and does so know, i.e., a being who, while knowing, has an intrinsic nature that repels the evil and cleaves to the good. This word involves "in germ" the doctrine of the Trinity. "Most theologians have recognized that that [sic] we cannot interpret it [i.e., the phrase the image of God] literally-that is, that mans physical being is in the image of God. "In our image, after our likeness." The story is recorded as if someone were describing creation, not from somewhere in outer space, but from his dwelling place on earth. These words are directed not to the earth, out of which man was (t) This image and likeness of God in man is expounded in Eph 4:24 where it is written that man was created after God in righteousness and true holiness meaning by these two words, all perfection, as wisdom, truth, innocency, power, 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. And perhaps this is the only view of it which renders the reasoning of Calvin intelligible. That either matter existed crude or God created it in disorder has not, I believe, the smallest foundation in the word of God. what disappointment and grief, both of the most poignant kind, followed ere long For Abel too was born; and in process of time it came to pass that they brought their offerings unto "Jehovah" a term, I may observe, that is here in admirable keeping. Gods plurality anticipated mans plurality. Genesis 11:1-32 opens with the sin of man, which led to the division described in the preceding chapter, the moral reason of that fact, new then, but still in its substance going on, whatever the superficial changes among men in their lands, and tongues, and political distribution. What more important fact about God and man would be necessary if the covenant at Sinai were, in fact, to be a real relationship? "The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground." If they were not, it could not be said, in OUR image, and it does not appear from any part in the sacred writings that any creature but man was made in the image of God. . 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. 23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. It doesn't mean that God was now exhausted, but it means that the creative works were completed. I believe that they are what are called, or used to be called in ancient times at any rate, the Phasis and the Aras or Araxes. Both may be perfectly right, and both absolutely true; but there is a difference of manner and phraseology, because of a difference of object before you. ), the Syriac rendering must be dismissed as nothing more than a conjecture, and the Masoretic text be understood in the following manner. For there was an attempering in the several parts of the soul, which corresponded with their various offices. [Note: For a critique of this book, see Douglas C. Bozzung, "An Evaluation of the Biosphere Model of Genesis 1," Bibliotheca Sacra 162:648 (October-December 2005):406-23. These are proofs of the evergrowing sway of man. ((g) De confusione Ling. We might with interest pass through the account of the various days, and mark the wisdom of God in each; but I forbear to dwell on such details now, saying a word here and there on the goodness of God apparent throughout. But there is more than this, though this be of exceeding interest; because we see with equal certainty and clearness why Jehovah-Elohim is introduced not before but here, and why man's becoming a living soul by the inbreathing of God was said here and not in the first chapter. He has said enough; but any one who will take the trouble to refer to Jude in connection with this chapter will gather more than appears on the surface. It is not said in Genesis 1:27 that man and woman were created together; or that the woman was created directly, and not formed out of one of the man's ribs. But God does communicate in such a way as at once meets the heart, and mind, and conscience. * If the book were in each of these different subjects written according to that most perfect keeping which pervades scripture, and which only God is capable of producing by His chosen instruments, I am convinced that, as Elohim simply in Genesis 2:1-25, so "Jehovah-Elohim" in Genesis 1:1-31, would have been wholly out of place with their respective positions in 1 and 2. Christ only is the express image of God's person, as the Son of his Father, having the same nature. His body only is ever said to be mortal. God speaks as the Creator-king, announcing His crowning work to the members of His heavenly court. Consequently we have this perfect care over the maintenance of His rights and place as One that governed morally. ., p. 112; Wenham, pp. We are examining now the sixth day of creation, the day when man appeared upon the earth. 56. The passage should be translated, "Fill the earth and subdue it."[11]. Observe. But these remarks are merely thrown out to show that there seems to be no insuperable difficulty in the way of arriving at a satisfactory solution of this vexed question. Breaking Down the Key Parts of Genesis 1:26. Although in the animal kingdom, as it at present exists, many varieties are so organized that they live exclusively upon the flesh of other animals, which they kill and devour; this by no means necessitates the conclusion, that the carnivorous beasts of prey were created after the fall, or the assumption that they were originally intended to feed upon flesh, and organized accordingly. It gathers information from the primitive meanings of the names that are given to certain objects, and notices the subsequent development of these meanings. But the blessing pronounced is omitted, the author hastening to the account of the creation of man, in which the work of creation culminated. If you are speaking in the intimacies of the family, you do not adopt the same language towards your parents, wife, child, or servant, still less towards a stranger outside. In short Enoch is the witness of the heavenly family, as Noah is of the earthly people of God. What God looks like; none of us know. And He set it apart. ), God created man male and female as an expression of His own plurality: "Let us make man. [Note: See Tremper Longman III, Song of Songs, pp. A mere historian, like Josephus of old a mere commentator, like Ewald now might have used either the one or the other without sensible loss to his readers through both chapters. I advise none to embark too confidently in the pursuit of such studies. But there is not an object within the ken of man which he does not aim at making subservient to his purposes. For the view that the image of God includes the body, see Jonathan F. Henry, "Man in Gods Image: What Does it Mean?" 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. [It's your food.] Now men and women live in a world filled with hate, evil and disease. i., p. 52, c. 3. The simple statement of the facts is that which is worthy of God. It is here explanatory of image, and seems to show that this term is to be taken in a figurative sense, to denote not a material but a spiritual conformity to God. The same principle applies in other fields of science. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. I do not consider that its locality is so very difficult to ascertain in a general way as has been often imagined. Oneness involves being in agreement with Gods will and purposes. This shows that for whatever reason the "us" in Genesis 1:26 . It accounts for the manifestation of light on the first day, and of the luminaries of heaven on the fourth, and traces the orderly steps of a majestic climax throughout the narrative. And to every beast of earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so (Gen 1:29-30). Again, let us note the confronting of the serpent, not with man, who always falls under Satan's power, but with Christ, who always conquers. I don't know. By reason we apprehend concrete things in perception and consciousness, and cognize abstract truth, both metaphysical and moral. 163. It is only some of God's honour that is put upon man, who is God's image only as the shadow in the glass, or the king's impress upon the coin. The soul is a spirit, an intelligent immortal spirit, an influencing active spirit, herein resembling God, the Father of Spirits, and the soul of the world. The Anthropomorphites were too gross in seeking this resemblance in the human body; let that reverie therefore remain entombed. When it is no question of these, creating, making, and forming may be freely used, as in Isaiah 45:18. But it is, secondly, in Gods likeness, which implies something closer and more inward. Had it been merely said that Elohim shut him in, it would have simply suggested the Creator's care of every creature; but Jehovah's shutting him in points to special relationship, and the interest taken in that righteous man. Like Genesis 34 (which also interrupts the Jacob Cycle) and 38 (which interrupts the Joseph cycle), this chapter seems to awkwardly impede the narrative flow. It has been supposed by some that God speaks here to the angels, when he says, Let us make man; but to make this a likely interpretation these persons must prove, 1.
