    Annotated Gen.2.6-7

    v.6 " But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. "

    The earth abides forever because of the word circular.(Eccle.1.4). The Holy Spirit presented in Gen.1.1 the Father Son relationship we may put in as The Word was God (heaven) in terms of the earth, Word was with God. Waters above the firmament and waters below sustain this same relationship so rain and mist extend the meaning of the word which was with God. For this reason Job refers to his speech, " After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them./ And they waited for me as for the rain;"( Job 29.22-23) In NRSV it is 'and my word dropped upon them like dew.' Words of Jesus fell upon all as seasoned with grace; to those who tried to entangle him with words they gave up as lost. "And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions."(Mt.22.46)

    We shall find yet another similitude from this passage," Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?/ Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?" The father of all mercies drop rain. similarly angel's food as the hoary frost of heaven." The Word which was with God reconciles such similitude in the word become flesh. Before God made Adam a living soul the Word as the Law set up the volume and form of the kingdom of God.

    v.7 "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.God blessed them Adam in his Son. Before presenting the generations of Adam " and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created," also tell a great mystery: Eve was included as the mother of all living. (Gen.5.2) So inner man of every believer is a pledge the body 'that hast thou me prepared includes the glorious body of the Son that shall be revealed 'according to the good pleasure of his will'.
