Genesis
Chapter
2
{First
Three Verses actually belong with Chapter 1 - Thought Continues}
1~~
Therefore the heavens and the earth were accomplished/restored, and
all the inhabitants/armies/hosts of them.
{Note: In perfect environment, everything is perfectly organized. Even the fleas had armies! It is a part of the blessing from God.}
2~~And,
on the seventh day {Saturday}
Elohiym/Godhead
completed His {restoration} work
{'asah
- make something out of something} . . .
which
He had accomplished/produced out of chaos.
And,
He rested {shabath} on the seventh day
from
all the work, which He had manufactured {'asah}.
{Note: Shabath is Hebrew for rest. It is the word from which we get Sabbath. But God was not tired. In Grace, He had provided all that was necessary. So taking the day off from work represented the fact that man did not 'work' for anything - it was provided by Grace from God.}
3~~Consequently,
Elohiym/Godhead
blessed/prospered the seventh day,
and
'sanctified it'/"set it apart as a commiseration of God's
grace". Because in it, He had rested from all His work . . .
which
Elohiym/Godhead created
{man, animals, plant life - bara' - something from nothing}
and
restored
{'asah - the earth was restored not created
out of nothing at this time}.
{Note: Principal of the Sabbath is 'only God can work for man's benefit'.}
{Title
for the Next Chapter is Verse 4}
4~~
These . . . the history of the heavens and the earth
when
they were created
{bara' something from nothing - refers to Genesis 1:1 - 2:3}
in
the day when the Lord God {Jehovah Elohiym} restored {'asah}
the
Earth {for man's occupancy}
and
the heavens.
{Note: From the book of Hebrews, we learn that Jesus Christ was the member of the Godhead Who actually created the Earth and the heavens and all in it.}
{Verses
5-15: God's Grace Provision}
{Verses
5-6: God Provided Food in Age of Innocence}
2:5a~~Consequently
every plant of the field
{implies man plowing a field}
was
not yet
{before the fall}
on
the earth
{man reaped what God sowed},
and
every vegetable of the field before {the fall}
it
grew {without man's cultivation}.
2:5b~~Because
Lord God {Jehovah Elohiym}
had
not caused it to rain
{yet - rain was not needed in perfect environment}
on
the planet earth
{water was under the ground and in the form of a mist},
and
there was not a man to till the ground.
6~~But a mist used to rise up from the earth and irrigate the entire surface of the ground.
{Formation
of Man and God's Provision for Man's Soul}
2:7~~
And the Lord God
{Jehovah Elohiym - Jesus Christ}
formed/designed
{yatsar - to form from existing materials}
the
man
{male body}
of
the soil/earth/dust/
'chemical
content of the soul' of the ground
and
breathed
{naphach - really means 'mouth to mouth resuscitation' here}
into
his nostrils
the
'breath of lives'/'spark of lives'
{'neshamah chay' -plural - 'breath of lives' - both Adam and Eve's
soul see also Job 33:4};
and
the Adam/man {Adam only}
'became
a living soul'/'became a soul having life'
{nephesh - 'soul life'}.
{Note: Yatsar is the Hebrew word meaning to form. Used here for the creation of the male body. Yatsar means to shape something in a certain way. The woman completes the man. FYI, the woman's body in contrast is said to be 'banah' - which means to be built or constructed.}
{Verses
8-15: The Garden of Eden}
8~~And
the 'Lord God'/'Jehovah Elohiym'
planted
a park/garden in Eden {means pleasure or delight}
toward
the east.
And
there He placed the man {'adam}
whom
He had formed/designed {yatsar}.
{Note: In the Hebrew, what we call the 'Garden of Eden' is really translated into the 'Park of Pleasure/Delight'. 'Adam is the Hebrew word meaning man.}
{4
Categories of Trees- See also Revelation Chapter 2:7}
9~~Consequently,
Jehovah Elohiym {our Lord Jesus Christ}
caused
to grow out of the ground
{category
1} every tree that is pleasant/desirable to the sight
{soul blessing}, and
{category
2} those good for food {blessing to the body}, and
{category
3} the tree of lives in the middle of the garden {spiritual
blessing - related to doctrine}, and
{category
4 - Angelic Conflict volitional test} the tree of knowledge
of good and evil.
{Note:
First 3 categories of trees were provided for man in innocence and
saved man in eternity
Category 1- contributed to the prosperity and happiness of the
soul
Category 2- relates to the body
Category 3- Reward Given with Positive Volition toward the Plan of
God - capacity for and blessings from the happiness of
God. Provided by God's grace to be associated with
man's volition expressed in his free will toward the Plan
of God - while he functions as the ruler of this world
until he fell.
Category 4- Negative Volition - disobedience to the Plan of God.
Knowledge of Satan's plan of human good and evil -
works outside the filling of the Holy Spirit.}
10~~And
a river was flowing out of Eden
to
cause to 'give drink'/water to the garden;
and
there became four beginnings
{means the heads of four rivers outside the garden}.
11~~The
name of the first {river}
is
Pison { refers to the Cyrus River in Armenia} . . .
which
{river} surrounds the whole land of Havilah . . .
where
there is much gold.
{Note: This is the area of extra- biblical story of Jason and the Golden Fleece. Reports of Jason have been found now in Egyptian papyrus now. So, RBT says 'possibly' Jason's story is based on a historical fact.}
12~~
Moreover the gold of that land is good.
There
is {also} bdellium
and
the onyx stone {rich in other minerals also}.
13~~And
the name of the second river is Gihon.
It
flows through the entire land of Kuwsh {Ethiopia}.
14~~And
the name of the third river is Hiddekel {Tigris River}.
It
flows east of Assyria.
And
the fourth river is Euphrates.
{SideNote: The Earth before the flood had one form of typography. After the effects of the flood, the Earth's typography drastically changed.}
15~~Then
'Jehovah Elohiym'/'Lord God' took the man,
and
caused him to be placed into the garden of Eden
to
'have the authority over it'/'cultivate it'
and
to guard it {from whom? Answer - Satan}.
{Verses
16-17: Parenthesis to Cover the Volitional Test for Man}
16-17~~(And
Jehovah/God Elohiym/Godhead'
commanded
the man, saying,
"From
any tree of the garden . . .
eating
. . . you may eat freely. 17~~
But
from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
you
will not eat from it . . .
because
in the day that you eat from it . . .
dying
{immediate spiritual death} . . .
you
will surely die {physical death comes into the world and man's future}.")
{Note: The penalty for failing the volitional test is two fold. Adam's spiritual death will result immediately. Also, physical death will enter the world for the first time. Adam would live 900 more years, but eventually he would also die physically.}
{Right
Woman to be Made for Her Right Man - as a Responder to Man}
18~~And
Jehovah/God Elohiym/Godhead {Jesus Christ} said,
"Not
good is the being of man {'adam} with reference to his aloneness.
I
will manufacture {'asah} for him an associate responding to him."
19~~And
out of the ground
Jehovah/God
Elohiym/Godhead formed {yatsar}
every
beast of the field,
and
every fowl of the air;
and
brought them to Adam
to
see what he would call them.
And
whatsoever Adam
called
every living creature,
that
was the name thereof.
20~~And
Adam gave names to all cattle {domesticated animals},
and
to the fowl/birds of the air,
and
to every beast of the field;
but
for Adam there was not found
an
associate responding to him.
21~~
And the 'Lord God'/'Jehovah Elohiym'
caused
a deep sleep to fall upon Adam,
and
while he kept on sleeping, He seized/took one of his ribs,
and
closed up the flesh instead thereof {man is now incomplete}.
22~~
And the Jehovah/God Elohiym/Godhead
constructed/built
{banah} the rib
which
He had taken from the man
into
a woman {Ishah},
and
caused her to be brought to the man.
{Note: Ishah (pronounced eee-shaw) is the Hebrew word for woman. The woman being brought to the man is the principal of authority. The man has the authority over the woman.}
23~~
And the man said, "THIS NOW bone from my bones,
and
flesh of my flesh {Adam reaps what God sows!}.
She
shall be named Woman {Ishah},
because
this one was taken from Man
{'iysh
- the Hebrew word for the category 'man'}."
24~~For
this reason, man {'iysh -all men}
shall
forsake/leave his father and his mother,
and
shall 'be intimately united'/'have sexual intercourse' with his
woman/wife {Ishah} . . . and they shall be one flesh.
[Paul quotes from this verse in I
Corinthians 6:16]. See also more
on sex at sex.]
{Note: This verse anticipates coming out of the garden. Neither Adam or Ishah HAD a father or mother! This is a verse for all future generations.}
25~~And
they were both constantly naked,
the
man {'adam} and his woman/wife {Ishah},
furthermore,
they were not confused/disappointed
{their relationship was perfect}.
