Excerpt from A Critical Commentary and Paraphrase on the Old and New Testament and the Apocrypha, Vol. 1 of 4
After I had finished the better half of my work, I was informed that Mons. Le Clerc had pub lished a Critical Commentary upon the same book: but whether I have concurred in any thing with him, or contradicted him, I am not able to say; having wanted leisure to peruse his work, by reason of the public business, which came upon me in the end of the year: when I likewise understood that a very learned friend and brother had put into the press Annotations upon all the five books of Moses. But by communicating some of our papers to each other, we found there would be no reason that either of us should lay aside our design; but go on, in our several ways, to make the scriptures better understood, by all sorts of persons: for all helps are little enough in this age, which seems to take pleasure in being ignorant of the most important truths.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed and insightful commentary on the first book of the Bible, Genesis. It delves into the creation story, exploring the author's interpretation of God's work over six days. The book examines the creation of light, the firmament, the separation of land and water, the emergence of plants, and the formation of celestial bodies. It then explores the creation of animals, culminating in the creation of humankind. The book further explores the significance of God's actions in creating a world for humanity to inhabit, highlighting the importance of God's blessings and the dominion given to humanity over the natural world. The book also addresses the question of the biblical account's historical accuracy, referencing the views of contemporary scholars and seeking to reconcile the creation story with the understanding of the world presented by ancient philosophers. By examining the scriptural text in depth, this book offers a rich and thought-provoking exploration of the creation narrative, its historical context, and its enduring relevance for understanding the divine purpose behind the existence of humankind.
