Excerpt from Discourses on the Book of Genesis For the right comprehension of the Prophetical Blessings of Jacob, a new rendering was therefore indispensable. Should the author thereby succeed in rectifying any popular errors springing from that Version, he shall consider that he has not labored in vain; but if otherwise, he shall feel happy to be convinced that none exist. The author intends to continue the Discourses to the end of the Pentateuch; but his doing so will of course depend on the encouragement this, the first volume, will receive.

Excerpt from The Book of Genesis, Vol. 1: Expounded in a Series of Discourses The view taken in this Lecture I hold to be important, not only in its practical and spiritual bearings, on which I chiefly dwell, but also in relation to some of the scientific questions which have been supposed to be here involved. It lifts, as I think, the divine record out of and above these human entanglements, and presents it, apart from all discoveries of successive ages, in the broad and general aspect which it was designed from the first and all along to wear, as unfolding the Creator's mind in the orderly subordination of the several parts of his creation to one another, with special reference to his intended dealings with the race of man. On this account I ask attention to what otherwise might appear to somo to be an irrelevant metaphysical conceit. It is proposed, then, to inquire what is implied in our really believing, as a matter of revelation, the fact of the creation. This may seem a very needless inquiry, in reference to a fact so easily understood. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." "The worlds were framed by the word of God." Can any thing be easier than to comprehend and believe this great truth thus clearly revealed? Who can be at a loss to know what is meant by believing it?

Excerpt from Expository Discourses on the Book of Genesis: Interspersed With Practical Reflections The foundation of this vast fabric is laid in an adequate cause - elohim, The Almighty. Nothing else would bear it. Man, if he attempt to find an adequate cause for what is, to the overlooking of God, shall but weary him self with very vanity. The writer makes use of the plural term Elohim, which yet is joined to singular verbs. This has been generally thought to intimate the doctrine of a plurality in the unity of the Godhead. It is certain, the scriptures speak of the Son, and Holy Spirit, as concerned in creation, as well as the Father.] Nor can I on any other supposition affix a consistent meaning to such language as that which after wards occurs Let us make man in our image, after our likeness - Behold, the man is become like one of us. The account given by Moses relates not to the whole creation, but merely to what immediately concerns us to know. God made angels; but nothing is said of them. The moon is called one of the greater lights, not as to what it is in itself, but what it is to us. The scriptures are written not to gratify curiosity, but to nourish faith. They do not stop to tell you how, nor to answer a number of questions which might be asked; but tell you so much as is necessary, and no more.

Excerpt from Lectures on Portions of the Book of Genesis The Septuagint version of the Old Testa ment was made by seventy learned men, nearly three hundred years before Christ, into the Greek language, by order of Ptolemy Philadelphus, king of Egypt. This has been questioned. It had a very wide circulation, even among the Jews. We find that the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews quotes from it, showing it was more familiar to his readers than the ancient Hebrew Scriptures, which at that time were in a dead language for the Jews.
