Preface

This project began as an attempt to provide my children and grandchildren something of their ancestor’s love and understanding of the scriptures. I began producing volumes many years ago which I was pleased to call Paraphrastic studies. I wrote one of these studies for each of the four Gospels and the letters of Paul. Eventually, however, I began to sense that there was much that I knew about the New Testament that my “translations” could not communicate. I therefore thought to write a comprehensive commentary on the entire New Testament, beginning with Matthew and concluding with the book of Revelation. As I published each of the nine volumes, I included the paraphrastic studies, where I had them, in conjunction with the commentary for each book in the New Testament. I began this project in 2005 and completed the final volume in 2010. The whole effort was a delight to my soul. A year before I retired from the Church Educational System, in 2003, I thought to produce an 1830 formatting of the Book of Mormon using the present text of the 1981 edition. This was a relatively easy task, given the technology available to me. I distributed these to my colleagues at the Orem Institute of Religion, members of my family, and a few other interested parties for the cost of printing and binding them. Sometime in the early spring of 2007, I was impressed to begin a verse by verse commentary on the Book of Mormon, a task that I had not presumed to attempt, inasmuch as there are no translation difficulties that abound in the Old and New Testaments. Yet, there were instances of nineteenth-century word usage and syntactic issues that I thought a commentary might help to clarify. As I began, however, I discovered that there was much more that I could communi-cate to my children of my understanding of the ancient record of the Nephites, material that I had gleaned as I taught the scriptures during my thirty-five year career with CES. This labor eventually produced five volumes of moderate size. As I published each segment of the commentary, I enclosed the 1830 formatting of each book in the Book of Mormon that I had devise several years before. The last volume also appeared in late 2010. By the time that I was fully engaged with writing commentaries on both the New Testament and the Book of Mormon, I had become infatuated with the idea that I might be able to expand the commentaries to include the other volumes of scripture as well. Thus, in the winter of 2010 I began writing commentaries on the Pearl of Great Price, and the Doctrine and Covenants. Once I finished with the Pearl of Great Price, I began to move ahead with the book of Genesis and the rest of the Old Testament. In the late fall of 2014 I finished the last of the commentaries on the Old Testa-ment, for a total of thirty-three printed and bound volumes. With these volumes and the others produced over the past ten years, I have completed commentary on every verse of the Standard Works of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My procedure for writing the Commentary was similar to that used in creating the original paraphrastic studies. The same reference texts were employed. For difficult words in Greek, Hebrew,

4

and English I resorted to the works of James Strong and other lexicographers for linguistic insight. I consider the contributions made by conservative Protestant scholarship (as recorded in the New International Version) and conservative Catholic scholarship (as related in the New Jerusalem Bible). I resorted to the considered thought of Adam Clarke, one of the most prominent and prolific com-mentators on the sacred manuscripts available at the beginning of the nineteenth century, and who, I believe, was a man of great faith. I consulted with the Joseph Smith Translation at appropriate times (including in another column an indication that a JST change had been made for any given verse), and frequently to the writings of the General Authorities of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as I contemplated the possible meanings of each word and phrase. From time to time I resorted to Smith’s Bible Dictionary and Discovering the World of the Bible by LaMar Berrett for some of the more arcane information that I thought would illuminate the text. I have attempted to maintain a steady course throughout my commentaries, treating each verse as unique, and where appropriate, duplicate notes and the text rather than use cross-references within the volume. Some may find this a waste of paper and ink, but I frankly dislike having to rifle through pages or volumes trying to find the first instance of the note or commentary. The duplica-tions are easily ignored; fumbling through pages cannot be. It is in the best interests of the reader, however, to contemplate the reasons why such duplications exist in the biblical text in the first place. They are purposeful and I have attempted to point out their purpose as I have progressed through each volume. My numbering system for the notes used in the body of the commentary was adapted from historical linguistic texts with which I am familiar and which I had found quite useful. The pattern used is chapter.verse.word; thus note “3.4.5” would contain material referring to the fifth word in the book of Hosea 3:4, for example. I make no comprehensive promises regarding the preciseness of my word count in any particular verse, but it will be close enough to eliminate any distressing con-fusion. Inasmuch as I began this series with the Gospel of Matthew, there will be times when I will make reference to my own work in that first volume. Sometimes there will be no more than a refer-ence, “MT-C 23.4.5”; other times I may quote directly from the original text. In either case my sole motivation will be to facilitate the flow of ideas rather than to multiply words. There are enough words already. References to the Commentaries on other books of the New Testament are abbre-viated as follows:

Matthew—MT-C Mark—MK-C Luke—LK-C John—JN-C Acts—AC-C Romans—RM-C 1 Corinthians—1 CO-C 2 Corinthians—2 CO-C Galatians—GA-C

Ephesians—EP-C Philippians—PP-C Colossians—CL-C 1 Thessalonians—1 TH-C 2 Thessalonians—2 TH-C 1 Timothy—1 TM-C 2 Timothy—2 TM-C Titus—TT-C Philemon—PL-C

Hebrews—HB-C 1 Peter—1 PE-C 2 Peter—2 PE-C 1 John—1 JN-C 2 John—2 JN-C 3 John—3 JN-C Revelation—RV-C

References to the Commentaries in the books of the Old Testament are as follows: Genesis—GE-C Exodus—EX-C Leviticus—LV-C Numbers—NM-C Deuteronomy—DT-C Joshua—JO-C Judges—JD-C Ruth—RU-C 1 Samuel—1 SM-C 2 Samuel—2 SM-C 1 Kings—1 KG-C 2 Kings—2 KG-C 1 Chronicles—1 CR-C

2 Chronicles—2 CR-C Ezra—ER-C Nehemiah—NE-C Esther—ES-C Job—JB-C Psalms—PS-C Proverbs—PV-C Ecclesiastes—ES-C Song of Solomon—SS-C Isaiah—IS-C Jeremiah—JR-C Lamentations—LM-C Ezekiel—EZ-C

I have also made reference to the other standard works of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The references to the Book of Mormon are articulated in bold and italics lettering using the following abbreviations:

1 Nephi—1 NE-C 2 Nephi—2 NE-C Jacob—JA-C Enos—EN-C Jarom—JM-C

Omni—OM-C Words of Mormon—WM-C Mosiah—MS-C Alma—AL-C Helaman—HE-C

3 Nephi—3 NE-C 4 Nephi—4 NE-C Mormon—MM-C Ether—ET-C Moroni—MR-C

The abbreviation TPW-C refers to the material found on the Title Page of the Book of Mormon and in the Testimonies of the Three and Eight Witnesses. The references to Sections that are in the Doctrine and Covenants are indicated as DC-C followed by the section number and verse (OD1-C and OD2-C are self-explanatory); The Pearl of Great Price references contained herein use the following abbreviations: MO-C, AB-C, SM-C, SH-C, and AF-C. In some cases I have taken on what some would consider controversial material. I make no apologies for so doing. I have found that my children are best served when an issue is approached head on, the differing points of view presented, and the rationale given as to why one school of thought ought to be preferred over another. Sometimes the decisions are logically founded; others the result of doctrinal points that are unique to theology of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In most cases I have not argued authorities, even though I could have inserted multiple references to the writings of scholars with whom I am familiar. I have chosen to have my sources on any particular issue to remain anonymous in the text of the commentary for several reasons. First and foremost, this work is my commentary, what I believe and hold to be true. In the end, that is what my children wish to know. Secondly, I did not wish to have my children accept or dismiss a particular view merely because of who had been the author of it. Many wonderful insights have been made by scholars both inside and outside of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Wherein I have found one view to be preferable over another has not been a partisan matter, but rather a matter of the mind, heart, and spirit cooperating together in an attempt to understand what must be the truth. Thirdly, I have been quite clear who my “authorities” have been. It is my fondest

6

desire that my children would become as familiar with their writings as I have. Were I to cite all of my sources with extensive quotes from each, there would be no need for them to open any of the books that I have come to love. That, in part, is why I included the third column containing cross-references to the various doctrinal works in the Commentaries. Exceptions to this practice should be noted as being of extreme importance. In addition to the text of the Standard Works, together with my own commentary, I inserted a column of references for further study. The citations are taken from three major sources: the Con-ference Reports of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from April 1980 to November 2002 (abbreviated as CR followed by the year, month, and page number); the Encyclopedia of Mor-monism (four volumes, abbreviated EM followed by the volume and page number); and A Scripture Index (a compilation of scripture references cited in various texts published by General Authorities of the Church). For those not familiar with the abbreviations used in A Scripture Index. I include them below: TPJS—Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith GD—Gospel Doctrine MA—Mediation and Atonement FWR—Far West Record DHC—History of the Church (7 vols.) TSWK—Teaching of Spencer W. Kimball MF—Miracle of Forgiveness FPM—Faith Precedes the Miracle MD—Mormon Doctrine

PM—Promised Messiah MM—Mortal Messiah (4 vols.) MLM—Millennial Messiah DNTC—Doctrinal New Testament Commentary (3 vols.) JC—Jesus the Christ AF—Articles of Faith DS—Doctrines of Salvation (3 vols.) AGQ—Answers to Gospel Questions (5 vols.)

As with each of the volumes previously published, I include two lists. The first, bound in front of the Commentary, is a listing of all of the words and phrases upon which I have made extensive remarks, a kind of sequential table of contents. I have also arranged this list alphabetically and have placed it at the end of the Commentary as a kind of index. A comprehensive alphabetical index for the entire volume appears as the last section of this book. Needless to say that all of the errors in the material submitted herein to the reader are the product of my own limitations as a scholar; all of the brilliance which may appear here is the product of minds and hearts filled with the fire of the Spirit of God, from whom all truth and beauty ulti-mately derive.

A Note on the Electronic Edition

Not only did my children and other family members receive bound copies of commentaries, but there were a number of friends and neighbors who had expressed an interest in them. There were requests from others who desired copies of what I had done, but I was not in a position to provide them with hard copies. Inasmuch as I had all of the volumes in computer files, I thought to compile each of the commentaries in some format that could be read on a smart device. I opted to use the Adobe Acrobat, turning all of the work into PDF files. I have used these on my tablet for many years and have found them useful and far easier to cart about with me. In the early spring of 2015, my neighbor David Dollahite arranged for a meeting with Jack Welch and Marny Parkin regarding the possibility of BYU providing a dedicated web site so that there would be greater public access to my

7

work. Thus began the present enterprise of editing and standardizing all that had done during the last ten years. My commentary on the Book of Mormon begins another series of these electronic volumes. Within a year or so I hope to have all of the books available in the same format.

A Commentary on the Scriptures by

Paul Nolan Hyde, Ph.D.

The First Book of Moses: Genesis

0.0 In the Spring of 1820, God the eternal Father and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, appeared to the boy Joseph Smith in answer to his question regarding the means to salvation and where on the earth it might be found. Suffice it to say that the direct answer was deferred, and indeed Joseph himself would be instrumental in answering the question not only for himself but for millions of others as well. Three years later, on 21 September 1823, Joseph was visited by an angel who announced that he had been selected to bring forth a volume of ancient American history and doctrine that had been preserved from the destruction of a civilization that had prevailed on this continent for nearly a thousand years. In the process of time, Joseph Smith was permitted to retrieve the collection of plates upon which the record was engraved. Beginning in April of 1829, the translation began in earnest, aided by a sacred instrument known as the Urim and Thummim. The translation was essentially complete by the end of June 1829. Preparations were then made to bring the record to light as a published volume called the Book of Mormon, the first bound copies appearing in March 1830. While Joseph and his scribe, Oliver Cowdery, were engaged in the translation, they were visited first by John the Baptist and then by the ancient Apostles Peter, James and John who bestowed upon them the priesthood of God, the power to baptize, the power to confer the gift of the Holy Ghost, and the keys by which the Church of Jesus Christ could once more be established upon the earth. On 6 April 1830, the ancient Christian Church was restored in the humble home of Peter Whitmer, Senior, in Fay-ette, New York. Shortly thereafter, in June 1830, Joseph Smith was given to understand that he would be given the opportunity to review the Old and New Testaments of the Bible that the text might be restored to the original intent of the ancient Apostles and prophets who contributed to the volume. The project lasted for several years, and although the Joseph Smith Translation was not fully completed, yet much clarity and disambiguation was achieved. The book of Moses was received in connection with the prophet’s work on the Old Testament, specifically with the book of Genesis. 0.1.0 Between 6 April and June 1830, the prophet Joseph Smith and his com-panions in the ministry were engaged in a variety of activities, most of which resulted in the growth of the infant Church in western New York. They were also embroiled in continuing opposition to their message, some of which resulted in frivolous lawsuits and court hearings. None of the charges were ever sustained. While Joseph and Oliver were residing in Colesville, Pennsyl-vania, in June 1830, the membership of the fledgling Church were blessed with a revelation which is now published as the first chapter of the book of Moses in the Pearl of Great Price. Moses 1 appeared in print the first time on 16 January 1843 in the Church periodical, Times and Seasons, volume 4, pages 71–73. It is included here as an integral part of all that will follow in the commentary on the first book of Moses, the book of Genesis. The commen-

tary presented is precisely that which appears in Moses 1 (see MO-C 1.42). As a matter of convenience, the far right-hand column from that commentary has been included as well. 0.1.1 Prophets are frequently taken to high mountains in order to commune with the Lord God of Israel. Nephi the son of Lehi was taken to such a moun-tain when he was permitted to view his father’s vision of the Tree of Life (see 1 NE-C 11.1). Ezekiel was lifted up to a very high mountain in order to view the Temple in the latter days (see EZ-C 40.2). The Savior was led of the Spirit unto a high mountain to view the mighty kingdoms of the world (see MT-C 4.8). Jesus also led three of his disciples into a high mountain that they might be instructed in the principles of eternity (see MT-C 17.1). John the Beloved was taken to a great and high mountain in order to see the New Jerusalem (see RV-C 19.10). Similar commentary may be found in MO-C 1.1.

0.1.1.9—Moses—The son born to Amram and Jochabed while the children of Israel weltered in slavery in the land of Egypt. He had at least an elder sister, Miriam, and an older brother, Aaron. Because of a miracu-lous set of circumstances, the babe Moses was raised in the household of Pharaoh until, he was about forty years of age, being the adopted son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He fled Egypt about that time and dwelt with Jethro, the high priest of Midian, who eventually became his father-in-law. When Moses was eighty years of age he was called to serve as the deliverer of the House of Israel from bondage. His labors in their behalf subsequently produced the ten plagues, the first Passover feast, and their successful exodus from the land of Goshen to the foot of the mount Sinai. It is interesting that the Lord chose to call to Moses using the name given to him by the daughter of Pharaoh. We have no idea how Amram and Jochebed referred to their son by name. This given by the princess, however, essentially is a reference to his deliverance from the Nile. In its elemental form, the name of the prophet means “is born”. The cognate in Hebrew means “drew him out”.

0.1.1.20–22—exceedingly high mountain—It is bootless to attempt to iden-tify this particular mountain inasmuch as the Lord has been quite spe-cific about the fact that no one among the children of men shall know the name thereof (see 1.42). This has not hindered speculation, how-ever. Assuming that the mountain was located in the vicinity of the upper reaches of the Red Sea, Mount Sinai (7497 feet) and Jubal al lawz (8464) would appear to be the most likely candidates. As mountains go, how-ever, neither is exceedingly high.

0.1.2 This particular experience as recorded here was not the only time the Lawgiver stood in the presence of God (see EX-C 33.11). Moses’ experience with the Lord God was not unique. Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob communed personally with the Almighty. The brother of Jared and other characters in the Book of Mormon were so blessed as well. Similar commen-tary may be found in MO-C 1.2.

0.1.2.15–17—glory of God—Although we may not fully comprehend the nature of the power that protected Moses, we may conclude that all mortals who have ever been in the presence of the Father and the Son have been necessarily transfigured to a Terrestrial state.

0.1.2.20—Moses—The son born to Amram and Jochabed while the chil-dren of Israel weltered in slavery in the land of Egypt. He had at least an elder sister, Miriam, and an older brother, Aaron. Because of a miracu-lous set of circumstances, the babe Moses was raised in the household of Pharaoh until, he was about forty years of age, being the adopted son

1 THE words of God, which he spake unto Moses at a time when Moses was caught up into an exceedingly high mountain, 2 And he saw God face to face, and he talked with him, and the glory of God was upon Moses; therefore Moses could endure his presence.

of Pharaoh’s daughter. He fled Egypt about that time and dwelt with Jethro, the high priest of Midian, who eventually became his father-in-law. When Moses was eighty years of age he was called to serve as the deliverer of the House of Israel from bondage. His labors in their behalf subsequently produced the ten plagues, the first Passover feast, and their successful exodus from the land of Goshen to the foot of the mount Sinai. It is interesting that the Lord chose to call to Moses using the name given to him by the daughter of Pharaoh. We have no idea how Amram and Jochebed referred to their son by name. This given by the princess, however, essentially is a reference to his deliverance from the Nile. In its elemental form, the name of the prophet means “is born”. The cognate in Hebrew means “drew him out”.

0.1.3 The question arises from time to time as to the character with whom Moses is speaking directly. Clearly, the words are those of God the eternal Father (see 1.6), but the personage is actually the Lord Jesus Christ in his pre-mortal state as the Lord God Jehovah. The circumstances are similar to those experienced by the Apostle John when he entertained the angel of the Lord while the former was in exile upon the isle of Patmos. From the beginning of the vision until almost the very end, John supposed that he was speaking directly to the Lord Jesus Christ. When he fell at the personage’s feet to wor-ship him, the angel forbade him announcing that he was one of John’s fellow servants in the Kingdom of God (see RV-C 19.10).Three chapters later, John the Beloved was again moved to worship the angel and again was forbidden to do so. The angel, however, continued speaking the words of his message as if he were the very Son of God (see RV-C 22.8–16). In all of these and similar instances we may perceive the outward effects of divine investiture of author-ity. Similar commentary may be found in MO-C 1.3.

0.1.3.5—Moses—The son born to Amram and Jochabed while the children of Israel weltered in slavery in the land of Egypt. He had at least an elder sister, Miriam, and an older brother, Aaron. Because of a miracu-lous set of circumstances, the babe Moses was raised in the household of Pharaoh until, he was about forty years of age, being the adopted son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He fled Egypt about that time and dwelt with Jethro, the high priest of Midian, who eventually became his father-in-law. When Moses was eighty years of age he was called to serve as the deliverer of the House of Israel from bondage. His labors in their behalf subsequently produced the ten plagues, the first Passover feast, and their successful exodus from the land of Goshen to the foot of the mount Sinai. It is interesting that the Lord chose to call to Moses using the name given to him by the daughter of Pharaoh. We have no idea how Amram and Jochebed referred to their son by name. This given by the princess, however, essentially is a reference to his deliverance from the Nile. In its elemental form, the name of the prophet means “is born”. The cognate in Hebrew means “drew him out”.

0.1.3.15—Endless—It is useless for mortal men to contemplate eternity, because they have no present facility for doing so. All that we experi-ence here upon the earth is rife with beginnings and endings. Most of us remember nothing of our physical birth, and those limited few who do seem to remember something of that wonderful experience cannot speak with any authority regarding the events they may have had prior to their conception. There may come a time, indeed, when we might be able to assume this title, but for now the whole notion eludes us.

0.1.4 The Lord Jesus Christ had served as the executor of the Father’s will

3 And God spake unto Moses, saying: Behold, I am the Lord God Almighty, and Endless is my name; for I am without beginning of days or end of years; and is not this endless? 4 And, behold, thou art my son;

regarding the creation of the earth and all that pertained to it. It is clear as well, that Jesus’ labors have not been confined to this particular planet, even though we are not privy to the details. In this instance, however, Jesus is again speaking for and in behalf of God the eternal Father. The Lord proposes to reveal something of the creation of this earth and of the progress of mankind in their journey toward salvation and exaltation. Similar commentary may be found in MO-C 1.4.

0.1.4.8—look—This injunction serves to command Moses to open his spiritual eyes, by which he can perceive the past, the present, and the future.

0.1.5 A portion of the glory of God has come upon the prophet Moses by which he was able to withstand the presence of the divine being that stood before him. This was sufficient to transfigure his mortal body into a state which would allow the interview. We may only speculate as to the precise result that would transpire if a superabundance of the glory of God were to infuse a prophet’s tabernacle of clay. Would the man’s body cease to function? Would the man be translated? Moses is hereby cautioned that there is a limited to that which the Lord can reveal to him at that particular time. Similar commentary may be found in MO-C 1.5. 0.1.6 In his service to the House of Israel, they who were enslaved in the land of Egypt, Moses functioned very much in the same fashion as the Lord Jesus Christ in his role as the Savior of mankind. Jesus is capable of overcoming the monsters death and hell because of his infinite mercy, compassion, and love. Similar commentary may be found in MO-C 1.6.

0.1.6.5—work—Included in all that the Lord God would task him with, would be the deliverance of the children of Israel from the land of Egypt where they were being held in bondage, and had been for several centuries.

0.1.6.8—Moses—The son born to Amram and Jochabed while the children of Israel weltered in slavery in the land of Egypt. He had at least an elder sister, Miriam, and an older brother, Aaron. Because of a miracu-lous set of circumstances, the babe Moses was raised in the household of Pharaoh until, he was about forty years of age, being the adopted son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He fled Egypt about that time and dwelt with Jethro, the high priest of Midian, who eventually became his father-in-law. When Moses was eighty years of age he was called to serve as the deliverer of the House of Israel from bondage. His labors in their behalf subsequently produced the ten plagues, the first Passover feast, and their successful exodus from the land of Goshen to the foot of the mount Sinai. It is interesting that the Lord chose to call to Moses using the name given to him by the daughter of Pharaoh. We have no idea how Amram and Jochebed referred to their son by name. This given by the princess, however, essentially is a reference to his deliverance from the Nile. In its elemental form, the name of the prophet means “is born”. The cognate in Hebrew means “drew him out”.

0.1.6.16—similitude—This is true in several aspects. First of all, both Moses and the Lord Jesus are spirit sons of God the eternal Father. They are of the same race. Likewise, the creation of the physical body for all of mankind follows the same pattern as the form of the spirit body. Moses and Jehovah looked alike in the flesh. In addition, the ministry of both Moses and Jesus were similar as they confronted the enemies of the covenant and the covenantal people. Moses rendered unto the House of Israel the Law by which they would be governed

wherefore look, and I will show thee the workmanship of mine hands; but not all, for my works are without end, and also my words, for they never cease. 5 Wherefore, no man can behold all my works, except he behold all my glory; and no man can behold all my glory, and afterwards remain in the flesh on the earth. 6 And I have a work for thee, Moses, my son; and thou art in the similitude of mine Only Begotten; and mine Only Begotten is and shall be the Savior, for he is full of grace and truth; but there is no God beside me, and all things are present with me, for I know them all.

during their mortal sojourn upon the earth; Jesus introduced the full-ness of the Gospel by which the children of men would be prepared for eternal life.

0.1.6.19–20—Only Begotten—Although all of those who have ever dwelt upon this earth as children of men are indeed the spirit children of God the Father, only one mortal child has been fathered by Him, even the Lord Jesus Christ. Insofar as his status in the premortal councils is con-cerned, Jesus was always referred to as the Firstborn, the eldest spirit child of God of all those who would pertain to this earth.

0.1.6.43—God—We may say with confidence that at the time that God was speaking to Moses, only our Father in Heaven was experiencing eternal life. None of his spirit children who had shouted for joy at the creation of the earth had achieved exaltation, not even Jehovah himself.

0.1.6.50—present—The spirit of God comprehends all things, past, pres-ent, and future, throughout the full range of all creation. There is nothing that He does not know; there is nothing with which he is not acquainted.

0.1.7 The one thing that the Lord was going to show Moses was the earth upon which Moses was standing. Any more than that and Moses may very well have been subject to those conditions alluded to earlier (see 1.5). Similar commentary may be found in MO-C 1.7.

0.1.7.11—Moses—The son born to Amram and Jochabed while the chil-dren of Israel weltered in slavery in the land of Egypt. He had at least an elder sister, Miriam, and an older brother, Aaron. Because of a miracu-lous set of circumstances, the babe Moses was raised in the household of Pharaoh until, he was about forty years of age, being the adopted son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He fled Egypt about that time and dwelt with Jethro, the high priest of Midian, who eventually became his father-in-law.
