Chapter One
A Practical and Devotional Exposition of the First Book of Moses,
Genesis
Here before us is the Holy Bible, or book, for this is what the word bible means. We call it the Book, for it is incomparably the best book that has ever been written: it is the book of books. We call it the Holy Book, because it was written by holy prophets, moved by the Holy Spirit. The great things of God’s Law and Gospel are here written for us, that they might be transmitted to distant lands and ages in a purer and more complete way than they could possibly be by word of mouth or tradition. This is the light that shines in a dark place (2Pe 1:19), and a dark place indeed the world would be without the Bible.
We have before us that part of the Bible which we call the Old Testament. This is called a testament or covenant because it was a settled declaration of the will of God concerning the entire human race, and had its force from the designed death of the great One who died, leaving his will, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Rev 13:8). It is called the Old Testament. This stands with reference to the New Testament, which does not cancel and supersede the Old, but crowns and perfects it, by bringing in the better hope which was prefigured and foretold in it.
We have before us that part of the Old Testament that we call the Pentateuch, or the five books of Moses. In our Savior’s division of the books of the Old Testament into the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms, or Hagiographa, these are the Law.
We have before us the first and longest of those five books, which we call Genesis, written, some think, when Moses was in Midian, for the instruction and encouragement of his suffering brothers and sisters in Egypt. We prefer to think that he wrote it in the desert, after he had been on the mountain with God, where, probably, he received full and detailed instructions as to what to write.
Genesis is a name taken from the Greek. It means the “original” or “generation”: it is a history of originals-the creation of the world, the entrance of sin and death into it, the invention of arts, the rise of nations, and especially the formation of the church, and its state in its early days. It is also a history of the generations of Adam, Noah, Abraham, etc. The beginning of the New Testament is called Genesis too (Mt 1:1); biblos geneseos, the book of the genesis, or generation, of Jesus Christ. Blessed be God for that book which shows us our healing, as this book opens up our wounds. Lord, open our eyes, that we may see the wonderful things of both your Law and your Gospel!
