Haynes Jr. Alexander: "The essential meaning of the phrase "I have begotten thee" is simply this, "I am thy Father. It means that in some proper sense - some sense appropriate to the Deity - such a relation was constituted as would justify this reference to the most tender and important of all human relationships.
In what sense that is, is a fair subject of inquiry, but it is not proper to assume that it is in anything like a literal sense, or that there can be no other sense of the passage than that which is implied in the above-named doctrine, for it cannot be literal, and there are other ideas that may be conveyed by the phrase than that of "eternal generation.
It means properly: 1 to bear, to bring forth as a mother, Genesis ; 2 to beget, as a father, Genesis ; and then 3 as applied to God it is used in the sense of creating - or of so creating or forming as that the result would be that a relation would exist which might be compared with that of a father and a son.
Deuteronomy : "of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful. And was there not enough in designating him to this high office; in sending him into the world; in raising him from the dead; in placing him at his own right hand - appointing him as King and Lord - to justify this language?
Is not this the very thing under consideration? Is it proper, then, in connection with this passage, to start the question about his eternal generation? Compare the notes at Romans On this passage Calvin says in loc. But the Apostle Paul is a more faithful and competent interpreter of this prophecy, who in Acts recalls us to that which I have called a glorious demonstration of Christ.
He was said to be begotten, therefore, not that he might be the Son of God, by which he might begin to be such, but that he might be manifested to the world as such. Finally, this begetting ought to be understood not of the mutual relation of the Father and the Son, but it signifies merely that he who was from the beginning hidden in the bosom of the Father, and who was obscurely shadowed forth under the law, from the time when he was manifested with clear intimation of his rank, was acknowledged as the Son of God, as it is said in John Alexander, though supposing that this is founded on an eternal relation between the Father and the Son, says, "This day have I begotten thee may be considered as referring only to the coronation of Messiah, which is an ideal one," vol.
The result of the exposition of this passage may therefore be thus stated: a The term "Son," as used here, is a special appellation of the Messiah - a term applicable to him in a sense in which it can be given to no other being. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 7.
The king thus constituted declares the fundamental law of His kingdom, in the avowal of His Sonship, a relation involving His universal dominion.
The interpretation of this passage to describe the inauguration of Christ as Mediatorial King, by no means impugns the Eternal Sonship of His divine nature.
That passage says He was declared as to His divine nature to be the Son of God, by the resurrection, and only teaches that that event manifested a truth already existing. A similar recognition of His Sonship is introduced in Heb , by these ends, and by others in Mt ; The Treasury of David 7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my son; this day have I begotten thee. This Psalm wears something of a dramatic form, for now another person is introduced as speaking.
We have looked into the counsel-chamber of the wicked, and to the throne of God, and now we behold the Anointed declaring his rights of sovereignty, and warning the traitors of their doom. God has laughed at the counsel and ravings of the wicked, and now Christ the Anointed himself comes forward, as the Risen Redeemer, "declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.
Looking into the angry faces of the rebellious kings, the Anointed One seems to say, "If this sufficeth not to make you silent, 'I will declare the decree. The things which are revealed are enough, without venturing into vain speculations. In attempting to define the Trinity, or unveil the essence of Divinity, many men have lost themselves: here great ships have foundered.
What have we to do in Such a sea with our frail skiffs? See Esther ; Matthew So Jesus hath but to ask and have. Here he declares that his very enemies are his inheritance. To their face he declares this decree, and "Lo! Jehovah hath given to his Anointed a rod of iron with which he shall break rebellious nations in pieces, and, despite their imperial strength, they shall be but as potters' vessels, easily dashed into shivers, when the rod of iron is in the hand of the omnipotent Son of God.
Those who will not bend must break, Potters' vessels are not to be restored if dashed in pieces, and the ruin of sinners will be hopeless if Jesus shall smite them. Publication or promulgation is essential to all laws or statutes.
The decree, or, concerning the decree , i. Thou art my Son; which though it may in some sort be said to or of David, who was in some respects the son of God, and begotten by him, as all believers are, John 1Jo Jam ; yet much more truly and properly belongs to Christ, who is commonly known by this title both in the Old and New Testament, as Proverbs Hosea Matthew Matthew ,6 , and oft elsewhere; and to whom this title is expressly appropriated by the Holy Ghost, who is the best interpreter of his own words, Acts Hebrews , and to whom alone the following passages belong.
But this is but a lean, and far-fetched, and doubtful sense; and therefore not to be allowed by the laws of interpretation, when the words may be properly understood concerning Christ.

This day ; from all eternity, which is well described by this day , because in eternity there is no succession, no yesterday , no to-morrow , but it is all as one continued day or moment, without change or flux; upon which account one day is said to be with the Lord as long as a thousand years, and a thousand years as short as one day , 2 Peter Or rather, 2.
And this day or time Christ might very well be said to be begotten by God the Father; partly, because the resurrection from the dead is in Scripture called a regeneration or second birth, Matthew , as well it may, being a restitution of that very being which man received by his, first birth, and that by the peculiar and mighty power of God; partly, because in this respect Christ is called the first begotten of the dead , Revelation ; and partly, because of that common observation, that things are oft said to be done in Scripture when they are only declared or manifested to be done ; of which see instances, Genesis Jeremiah Ezekiel , and elsewhere.

The Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, and Oriental versions, place this clause at the end of Psalm ; some render it, "declaring his commandment", or "the commandment of the Lord"; the laws that he would have observed, both by him and by the subjects of his kingdom. The Syriac and Arabic versions, "that he might declare the commandment of the Lord"; as if this was the end of his being appointed King.
