Genesis 2:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 2:1

1 Thus the heavens and the earth, and ^aall the host of them, were finished.

2 ^aAnd on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.

3 Then God ^ablessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

4 ^aThis is the¹ history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

5 before any ^aplant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not ^bcaused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man ^cto till the ground;

6 but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.
