The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth
He has created all things, and made the world by his Son, the
Wisdom of God, ( Ephesians
3:9 ) ( Hebrews 1:2 ) ; not
using him as an instrument; but, he being an efficient cause with
him, to him, as to the first cause, the creation of all things is
ascribed, ( John
1:1-3 ) ( Colossians
1:16 ) ; and particularly the laying the foundation of the
earth, ( Hebrews 1:10
) ; and though this is true of the divine perfection of wisdom, (
Jeremiah
10:12 ) ; yet from the context it appears best to understand
it of the essential Wisdom of God, Christ Jesus; the Jerusalem
Targum of ( Genesis 1:1 ) ; is, "by
wisdom God created", &c. and this serves greatly to set forth
the dignity and excellency of Wisdom, or Christ, and so the
happiness of that man that finds him; with this the account of
him is closed and crowned; by understanding hath he
established the heavens:
or prepared, adorned, and beautified them, by placing the
luminaries in them, and directing their station, motion, and
influence; the making of the heavens, with all the host of them,
is ascribed to the essential Word or Wisdom of God, ( Psalms 33:6 ) .
