Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
As the woman was formed out of (from) the man, even so is man born by means of woman; but all things (including both man and woman) are from God as their source (Rom 11:36; Co2 5:18). They depend mutually each on the other, and both on him. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
As the woman is of the man - In the original creation, she was formed from the man.
So is the man also by the woman - Is born of the woman, or descended from her. The sexes are dependent on each other, and should therefore cultivate an indissoluble union.
But all things of God - All things were created and arranged by him. This expression seems designed to suppress any spirit of complaint or dissatisfaction with this arrangement; to make the woman contented in her subordinate station, and to make the man humble by the consideration that it is all owing to the appointment of God. The woman should therefore be contented, and the man should not assume any improper superiority, since the whole arrangement and appointment is of God. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
And as the woman was at first taken out of the man, so also the man is now, in the ordinary course of nature, by the woman; but all things are of God - The man, the woman, and their dependence on each other. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
For as the woman is of the man - For as the woman was first formed out of the side of man, man has ever since been formed out of the womb of the woman; but they, as all other created things, are of God. |
18 And [1161] all things [3956] are of [1537] God [2316], who [3588] hath reconciled [2644] us [2248] to himself [1438] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] hath given [1325] to us [2254] the ministry [1248] of reconciliation [2643];
36 For [3754] of [1537] him [846], and [2532] through [1223] him [846], and [2532] to [1519] him [846], are all things [3956]: to whom [846] be glory [1391] for [1519] ever [165]. Amen [281].
