DIMENSION TWO: WHAT DOES THE BIBLE MEAN?
* Genesis 1:1. We can translate the opening sentence of the Bible in many different ways. The New International Version translates it, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Other translations attempt to show the dynamism of this act. The New English Bible translates, "In the beginning of creation, when God made heaven and earth." The 1985 English edition of Tanakh: The Holy Scriptures, published by the Jewish Publication Society, reads, "When God began to create heaven and earth." These translations show us that Creation is something dynamic. God introduces a process that begins with Creation.
* Genesis 1:2. The second verse shows us that God calls into being a swirling, watery chaos — lacking all order and capacity for sustaining life. The Hebrew word translated "the deep" refers to this watery chaos that exists before God speaks and begins the process of establishing the creation as we know it.
* Genesis 1:3. The first act of Creation is the commanding word that light appear. This appearance of light, before God creates the sun, troubles many readers. The ancient Israelites distinguished between the light of day and the light of the sun. After all, they observed that on cloudy days, when the sun was not shining, light was still visible. So the sun was not the same thing as day, but was a characteristic of the daytime. The sun distinguished between day and night.
* Genesis 1:5. You may find it difficult to imagine God's making the whole creation in only six days. Through the centuries, many interpreters have thought that the length of the day at the time of Creation was much longer than the twenty-four hours of our day. That thought seems highly improbable. The Hebrew writer was thinking of a day of the usual length, beginning at sunset and ending at sunset on the following day. The fact that God created the world in less than a week is one way of showing God's remarkable power.
* Genesis 1:6-10. The early Israelite and most of the people of the ancient Near East envisioned the world as an inverted bowl. This bowl separated the heavens from the earth and the underworld. The earth rested upon pillars that extended down into the deep waters below earth. This same firmament or "expanse" kept the swirling waters in the heavens from flooding the earth.
* Genesis 1:26. The phrase, "Let us make man in our image" gives interpreters difficulty. Surely, God is not speaking of other gods who assist him in the Creation; that would be polytheism. Other commentators suggest that this phrase refers to the Trinity. Of the many explanations offered, the best one seems to be that God is surrounded by beings who do his bidding. They make up the divine assembly in the heavens. We read about this divine assembly in Chapter 1 of Job and in Psalm 82.
* Genesis 2:4. Did you notice that Genesis 1 uses the general name God? But beginning with 2:4 the text speaks of the LORD God. These two terms, Lord and God, combine two ways of referring to God that we shall meet often in the Book of Genesis. The word translated "the Lord" is the ancient personal name for the deity, which in Hebrew is Yahweh. The other word is the general term for God, which in Hebrew is Elohim. A combination of the two is unusual, and it may point to two different traditions about the Creation that have been woven together. The combination Yahweh Elohim ("the Lord God") is not used after Genesis 3.
* Genesis 2:8-14. The word Eden means "delight" or "garden of God." In verses 10 through 14 the four rivers probably are the Nile, the Tigris, the Euphrates, and (less certainly) the Ganges in India.
* Genesis 2:20. In ancient Israel, to name something defined and fixed its nature and character. Names expressed the essential features of that which was named. In giving the man the ability to name, God also gives the power to define and fix the very nature of these creatures of earth.
* Genesis 3:24. The cherubim placed at the east of the garden to guard the tree of life were winged creatures that belonged to God's heavenly council. The word is plural. We do not know how many stood guard over Eden.
