- Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Commentary on Genesis 1:11 voice
I have received the desired letters of my Desiderius, who in a foretelling of things to happen has obtained with Daniel a certain name [see Vulgate Daniel 9.23: quia vir desideriorum es tu, "for you are a man of desires"], beseeching that I might hand over to our hearers a translation of the Pentateuch in the Latin tongue from the Hebrew words. Certainly a dangerous work, open to the barkings of detractors, who accuse me of insult to the Seventy to prepare a new interpretation from the old ones, thus approving ability (or "genius") like wine.
Jerome· Prologue to Genesis, 420Patristic
- Genesis 1:6
And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.”
Commentary on Genesis 1:61 voice
1. We have now recounted the works of the first day, or rather of one day. Far be it from me indeed, to take from it the privilege it enjoys of having been for the Creator a day apart, a day which is not counted in the same order as the others. Our discussion yesterday treated of the works of this day, and divided the narrative so as to give you food for your souls in the morning, and joy in the evening. Today we pass on to the wonders of the second day.
Basil of Caesarea· The Hexaemeron, Homily 3: On the Firmament, 379Patristic
- Genesis 1:7
So God made the expanse and separated the waters beneath it from the waters above. And it was so.
Commentary on Genesis 1:71 voice
But as far as concerns the separation of the waters I am obliged to contest the opinion of certain writers in the church who, under the shadow of high and sublime conceptions, have launched out into metaphor and have seen in the waters only a figure to denote spiritual and incorporeal powers. In the higher regions, accordingly, above the firmament, dwell the better; in the lower regions, earth and matter are the dwelling place of the malignant.
Basil of Caesarea· HEXAEMERON 3.9, 379Patristic
- Genesis 3:17
And to Adam He said: “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat, cursed is the ground because of you; through toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
Commentary on Genesis 3:171 voice
The two sentences seem to have a certain similarity, yet in that similarity there is a great difference. There is a difference in the way a person eats of the earth, as the serpent is related to have done and the manner in which this is recorded of the man: 'In sadness shall you eat.' That very phrase 'in sadness' makes the precise difference. Note how important this difference is.
Ambrose of Milan· On Paradise, 15.75, 397Patristic
- Genesis 3:18
Both thorns and thistles it will yield for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
Commentary on Genesis 3:181 voice
There, too, is that distinction between the serpent who is said to eat the earth and Adam, to whom God said: ' You shall eat in sadness the herbs of the field.' [ Gen 3:18 ] We may note here a certain gradation. When we eat the earth, it seems that we are in a sort of warfare. when we eat the herbs, there is a certain advance. when finally, we eat bread, then our life of trial has reached it terminus.
Ambrose of Milan· On Paradise, 15.76-77, 397Patristic
- Genesis 10:1
This is the account of Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, who also had sons after the flood.
Commentary on Genesis 10:11 voice
These are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood. The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. The series of Noah's offspring begins with …
Bede· Commentary on Genesis (Hexaemeron), 735Patristic
- Genesis 11:1
Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
Commentary on Genesis 11:11 voice
And they arose and came from the land of the east; and, as they went through the land, they chanced upon the land of Shinar, which was exceeding broad; where they took in hand to build a tower. They sought means thereby to go up to heaven, and be able to leave their work as a memorial to those men who should come after them.
Irenaeus· The Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching, 202Patristic
- Genesis 49:26
The blessings of your father have surpassed the blessings of the ancient mountains and the bounty of the everlasting hills. May they rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the prince of his brothers.
Commentary on Genesis 49:261 voice
And so he surpassed all mountains, and the desires of the eternal hills. For he excelled not only all those sublime men of merit, the patriarchs, prophets, and apostles, but even the sun, the moon, and the archangels, shining like the light of heaven, as he himself says: A disciple is not above his master, nor a servant above his lord. For who among them was there to whom all things were subject, to whom he gave what they were? In which all his saints are blessed, because he is the head of all heads.
Ambrose of Milan· On the Blessings of the Patriarchs, 397Patristic
- Deuteronomy 32:8
When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He divided the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
Commentary on Deuteronomy 32:81 voice
[Daniel 7:2-3] "And during the night I saw in my vision, and behold, the four winds of heaven strove upon the great sea, and four great beasts were coming up out of the sea, differing from one another." The four winds of heaven I suppose to have been angelic powers to whom the principalities have been committed, in accordance with what we read in Deuteronomy: "When the Most High divided the nations and when He separated the children of Adam, He established the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the angels.
Jerome· Commentary on Daniel, 420Patristic
- Deuteronomy 33:15
with the best of the ancient mountains and the bounty of the everlasting hills,
Commentary on Deuteronomy 33:151 voice
And for the chief things of the ancient mountains,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- 1 Samuel 2:8
He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap. He seats them among princes and bestows on them a throne of honor. For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s, and upon them He has set the world.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 2:81 voice
20. For dust is the subtle deliberation of illicit thought, which renders foul the mind in which it has settled. For what is designated by dung except the foulness and boldness of committed wickedness? Hence the prophet too, beholding the life of carnal people buried under the filth of foul deeds, says: "The beasts have rotted in their dung" (Joel 1:17). Therefore, the gifts of God are enumerated in fitting order in the conversion of the wicked.
Gregory the Dialogist· Commentary on 1 Kings, Book 2, Chapter 1, 604Patristic
- 2 Kings 19:15
And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD: “O LORD, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth.
Commentary on 2 Kings 19:151 voice
Prayer sometimes brings the dead back to life, but sometimes it may slay the living, as happened with the godly Peter: he brought Tabitha back to life by prayer, but he effected the death of Ananias and Sapphira. Elisha, that spiritual man, brought to life …
Sahdona the Syrian· BOOK OF PERFECTION 41, 649Patristic
- 2 Chronicles 2:12
And Hiram added: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth! He has given King David a wise son with insight and understanding, who will build a temple for the LORD and a royal palace for himself.
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 2:121 voice
Huram said, moreover, blessed be the Lord God of Israel, that made heaven and earth,.... Huram seems to have had some good notions of the divine Being, not only as the God of the people of Israel, in a peculiar sense, but as the Former and Maker of all things: who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding; see 1Ki 5:7. that might build an house for the Lord, and for his kingdom; as in 2Ch 2:1.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Nehemiah 9:6
You alone are the LORD. You created the heavens, the highest heavens with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to all things, and the host of heaven worships You.
Commentary on Nehemiah 9:61 voice
And Ezra said: You alone, Lord, etc. What was previously stated, Because they confessed their sins and the sins of their fathers; is shown in more detail with Ezra beseeching how it was done. Moreover, in the conclusion he says, Therefore over all these, we …
Bede· Commentary on Ezra and Nehemiah, 735Patristic
- Job 9:6
He shakes the earth from its place, so that its foundations tremble.
Commentary on Job 9:61 voice
Which shaketh the earth out of her place and the pillars thereof shall tremble. For 'the earth was shaken out of her place,' when the Israelitish people, rooted out of the borders of Judaea, submitted the neck to the Gentiles, because she would not be subjected to the Creator. Which same earth had pillars, in that the erection of her stubborness, which was to be destroyed, rose upon the Priests and Rulers, the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees.
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book IX, 604Patristic
- Job 26:7
He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
Commentary on Job 26:71 voice
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place. [MYSTICAL INTERPRETATION] By the title of the 'north,' in Holy Writ the devil is used to be designated, who with the thought to bind up the hearts of the nations with the iciness of insensibility, said, I will sit also upon the mount of the Covenant, in the sides of the north. And he is 'stretched over the empty place,' because he has possession of those hearts, that are not filled with the grace of the love of God.
