469. Verse 1 This is the book of the generations of Man. On the day in which God created Man, in the likeness of God He made him.
'The book of the generations' is a record of those who belonged to the Most Ancient Church. 'On the day in which God created Man' means his being made spiritual. 'In the likeness of God He made him' means his being made celestial. So it is a description of the Most Ancient Church.
