Sinopsis
Excerpt from Notes, Critical and Explanatory, on the Book of Genesis
The Book of Genesis has thus a character at once special and universal, It embraces the world. It speaks of God as the God of the whole human race. But, as the introduction to Jewish history, it makes the universal interest subordinate to the national. Its design is to show how God re vealed Himself to the first fathers of the Jewish race, in order that He might make to Himself a nation who should be His witnesses in the midst of the earth. This is the inner principle of unity which pervades the Book. Its external framework exhibits five principal persons as the pillars (so to speak) on which the whole superstructure rests, - Adam, Noah, Abra ham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Excerpt from Notes, Critical and Explanatory, on the Book of Genesis
Book I. of the History in Genesis brings us through seventeen chapters, to Book II., The Patriarchal History op the Covenant.
The Covenant with Abraham is the pivot upon which the whole history turns. The Covenant with Adam was the "covenant of works," which was violated by our first parents. The Covenant with Noah has been called "the covenant of forbearance," providing for man's continued occupancy of the earth, and for the permanence of natural laws. The Covenant with Abraham was "the Covenant of Grace," to which all the foregoing was preparatory. Adam was the father of the race. Noah was the father of the preserved remnant. Abraham was the father of the believing remnant. The Covenant with Abraham stretches forward through the Mosaic and Christian dispensations. The Son of God, as Redeemer, "laid hold on the nature of the seed of Abraham," not of the seed of Adam. (Heb. 2 : 16.)And if we be Christ's, then are we Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Gal.3 : 29.)Abraham, through the son of promise, issues in Israel, who is the father of the twelve patriarchs; and these are assured of their title to the promised land. Joseph, like Abraham, through the bondage of the world-kingdom, turns with faith to the land of promise, as theirs by covenant grant; and there they command their bones to be deposited, in faith of their heirship as guaranteed to them in the bond. Paul shows how "God preached before the gospel unto Abraham," and how "Abraham,s seed," in the Covenant promise is preeminently and emphatically Christ. (Gal.3 : 8-16.)And Stephen shows how their exile in Egypt had a bearing upon the future conversion of the Gentiles. (Acts 7, 9, etc.:
Dr. Smith (See Bib. Dict. Art. Genesis) has said that "the history of Abraham holds the same relation to the other portions of Genesis which the giving of the Law does to the entire Pentateuch. Abraham is the father of the Jewish nation; to Abraham the land of Canaan is first given in promise. Isaac and Jacob, though also prominent figures in the narrative, yet do but inherit the promise as Abraham's children; and Jacob, especially, is the chief connecting link in the chain of events, which led finally to the possession of the land of Canaan. In like manner the former section of the Book is written with the same obvious purpose.
