Commentary Upon The First-Fifth Book Of Moses by Simon Patrick presents a detailed, verse-by-verse biblical commentary on Genesis, with emphasis on geography, ethnography, chronology, and theology. The editor draws on ancient authorities (e.g., Bochart) and provides etymological and historical notes on place-names, kin-groups, and covenants. It surveys the post-flood dispersion, the calling of Abram, his journeys, and the covenantal signs, including circumcision, and traces the unfolding promises through Isaac and the patriarchs. It treats hospitality, righteousness, divine judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah, and the tension between human schemes and divine purposes. The work interweaves linguistic analysis and cross-references to other biblical and patristic sources to illuminate the text. It also offers chronology calculations, such as the interpretation of the 430 years, and situates the narratives within a broader table of nations and covenants. The commentary reflects 17th-century Anglican exegesis defending Mosaic authorship and presenting Genesis as foundational for law, religion, and human dignity.
