/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/hi=Elohim
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p= , a noun of the plural number. Whence the inference is drawn, that the three Persons of the Godhead are here noted; but since, as a proof of so great a matter, it appears to me to have little solidity, will not insist upon the word; but rather caution readers to beware of violent glosses of this, kind.  
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p=			 
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/@n=41
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p= The reasoning of Calvin on this point is a great proof of the candor of his mind, and of his determination to adhere strictly to what he conceives to be the meaning of Holy Scripture, whatever bearing it might have on the doctrines he maintains. It may however be right to direct the reader, who wishes fully to examine the disputed meaning of the plural word 
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p/foreign/@xml:lang=he
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p/foreign=אלהים
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p= which we translate God, to some sources of information, whence he may be able to form his own judgment respecting the term. Cocceius argues that the mystery of the Trinity in Unity is contained in the word; and many other writers of reputation take the same ground. Others contend, that though no clear intimation of the Trinity in Unity is given, yet the notion of plurality of Persons is plainly implied in the term. For a full account of all
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p=				  the arguments in favor of this hypothesis, the work of Dr. John Pye Smith, on the Scripture testimony of the Messiah — a work full of profound learning, and distinguished by patient industry and calmly courteous criticism — may be consulted. It must however be observed, that this diligent and impartial writer has mot met the special objection adduced by Calvin in this place, namely, the danger of gliding into Sabellianism while attempting to confute Arianism. —  
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p/hi/@type=italic
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p/hi=Ed
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p=
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p=			  They think that they have testimony against the Arians, to prove the Deity of the Son and of the Spirit, but in the meantime they involve themselves in the error of Sabellius,  
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p=			 
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/@n=42
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p= The error of Sabellius (according to Theodoret) consisted in his maintaining, “that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, are one hypostasis, and one Person under three names,” or, in the language of that eminent ecclesiastical scholar, the late Dr. Burton, “Sabellius divided the One Divinity into three, but he supposed the Son and the Holy Ghost to have no distinct personal existence, except when they were put forth for a time by the Father.” — See
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p=				  Burton’s Lectures on Ecclesiastical History, vol. 2, p. 365; and his Bampton Lectures, Note 103. This will perhaps assist the reader to understand the nature of Calvin’s argument which immediately follows. Supposing the word Elohim to denote the Three Persons of the Godhead in the first verse, it also denotes the same Three Persons in the second verse. But in this second verse Moses says, the Spirit of Elohim, that is, the Spirit of the Three Persons rested on the waters. Hence the distinction
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p=				  of Persons is lost; for the Spirit is himself one of them; consequently the Spirit is sent from himself. The same reasoning would prove that the Son was begotten by himself; because he is one of the Persons of the Elohim by whom the Son is begotten. — 
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p/hi/@type=italic
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p/hi=Ed
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p=.
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p=
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p=			  because Moses afterwards subjoins that the  
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/hi/@type=italic
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/hi=Elohim
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p=  had spoken, and that the  
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/hi/@type=italic
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/hi=Spirit of the Elohim
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p=  rested upon the waters. If we suppose three persons to be here denoted, there will be no distinction between them. For it will follow, both that the Son is begotten by himself, and that the Spirit is not of the Father, but of himself. For me it is sufficient that the plural
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p=			 number expresses those powers which God exercised in creating the world. Moreover I acknowledge that the Scripture, although it recites many powers of the Godhead, yet always recalls us to the Father, and his Word, and spirit, as we shall shortly see. But those absurdities, to which I have alluded, forbid us with subtlety to distort what Moses simply declares concerning God himself, by applying it to the separate Persons of the Godhead. This, however, I regard as beyond controversy, that from
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p=			 the peculiar circumstance of the passage itself, a title is here ascribed to God, expressive of that powers which was previously in some way included in his eternal essence.  
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p=			 
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/@n=43
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p= The interpretation above given of the meaning of the word

/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p/hi=Elohim
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p= ) receives confirmation from the profound critical investigations of Dr. Hengstenberg, Professor of Theology in the University of Berlin, whose work, cast in a somewhat new form, and entitled “Dissertations
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p=				  on the Genuineness of the Pentateuch,” appears in an English dress, under the superintendence of the Continental Translation Society, while these pages are passing through the press. With other learned critics, he concludes, that the word is derived from the Arabic root Allah, which means to worship, to adore, to be seized with fear. He, therefore, regards the title more especially descriptive of the awful aspect of the Divine character.
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p=On the plural form of the word he quotes from the Jewish Rabbis the assertion, that it is intended to signify ‘

/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p/foreign=Dominus potentiarum omnium
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p=,’ ‘The Lord of all powers’. He refers to Calvin and others as having opposed, though without immediate effect, the notion maintained by Peter Lombard, that it involved the mystery of the
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p=				  Trinity. He repels the profane intimation of Le Clerc, and his successors of the Noological school, that the name originated in polytheism; and then proceeds to show that “there is in the Hebrew language a widely extended use of the plural which expresses the intensity of the idea contained in the singular.” After numerous references, which prove this point, he proceeds to argue, that “if, in relation to earthly objects, all that serves to represent a whole order of beings is brought before the
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p=				  mind by means of the plural form, we might anticipate a more extended application of this method of distinguishing in the appellations of God, in whose being and attributes there is everywhere a unity which embraces and comprehends all multiplicity.” “The use of the plural,” he adds, “answers the same purpose which elsewhere is accomplished by an accumulation of the Divine names; as in

/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p=    Interpreters have wrested this passage in various ways. The opinion of some that it means the wind, is too frigid to require refutation. They who understand by it the Eternal Spirit of God, do rightly; yet all do not attain the meaning of Moses in the connection of his discourse; hence arise the various interpretations of the participle 
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/foreign/@xml:lang=he
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/foreign=מרחפת
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p=, ( 
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/hi/@type=italic
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/hi=merachepeth
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p= .) I will, in the first place, state what (in my judgment) Moses intended. We have already heard that before God had perfected the world it was an undigested mass; he now teaches that the power of the Spirit was necessary in order to sustain it. For this doubt might occur to the mind, how such a disorderly heap could stand; seeing that we
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p=			 now behold the world preserved by government, or order.

/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p=
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p=			  He therefore asserts that this mass, however confused it might be, was rendered stable, for the time, by the secret efficacy of the Spirit. Now there are two significations of the Hebrew word which suit the present place; either that the spirit moved and agitated itself over the waters, for the sake of putting forth vigor; or that He brooded over them to cherish them.

Vatablus, whom Calvin here probably follows, says, the Holy Spirit cherished the earth “by his secret virtue, that it might remain stable for the time.” — See Poole’s Synopsis. The word, however, is supposed further to imply a vivifying power; as that of birds brooding over and hatching their young. Gesenius says that Moses here speaks, “
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p/foreign/@xml:lang=de
/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p/foreign=Von der shaffenden und belebenden Kraft Gottes die uber der chaotischen

/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p/note/p=” — “of the creative and quickening power of God, which hovered over the chaotic and water — covered earth, as if brooding.” The same view is given by P. Martyr on Genesis; others, however, are opposed to this interpretation. Vide Johannes Clericus in loco. —

/osis/osisText/div/div/div/p=			  Inasmuch as it makes little difference in the result, whichever of these explanations is preferred, let the reader’s judgment be left free. But if that chaos required the secret inspiration of God to prevent its speedy dissolution; how could this order, so fair and distinct, subsist by itself, unless it derived strength elsewhere? Therefore, that Scripture must be fulfilled,
