Genesis 2:1 Commentary
THOMAS SCOTT COMMENTARY
Verse 1. Host. All the parts of the visible creation occupy their proper places, like soldiers in a well-disciplined host or army; so that number and variety connect with regularity and beauty, and conduce to the perfection of the whole. (Marg. Ref.)—The sacred historian, having given a brief account of the orderly production of all things, explains in this chapter some particulars more fully, which would otherwise have interrupted the order of his narration.
THOMAS HAWEIS COMMENTARY
Genesis Chapter 2 -Before Christ, 4004
We have, 1. The institution and sanctification of the Sabbath, which mad for man, and to further his holiness and comfort, ver. 1-3. 2. A more particular account of man’s creation, ver. 4-7. 3. A description of the garden of Eden, and the placing of man in it, under the obligations of a law and covenant, ver. 8-16. 4. The creation of the woman, her marriage to the man, and the institution of the ordinance of marriage, ver. 18, ad finem.
Verse 1: Nothing remained farther to be done, the whole was finished to the utmost perfection, and regulated in the exactest order. Numerous as the host of heaven and earth are, each knew his place, and kept his rank. How secure is the man that hath these hosts engaged for his protection: how dreadful and inevitable the ruin of those, against whom both combine as instruments of God’s vengeance.
