Cross-References
So Kayin left the presence of Adonai and lived in the land of Nod [wandering], east of ‘Eden.
Kayin had sexual relations with his wife; she conceived and gave birth to Hanokh. Kayin built a city and named the city after his son Hanokh.
(S: v) Lemekh took himself two wives; the name of the one was ‘Adah, while the name of the other was Tzilah.
‘Adah gave birth to Yaval; he was the ancestor of those who live in tents and have cattle.
After the sun had set and there was thick darkness, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch appeared, which passed between these animal parts.
you are to set apart for Adonai everything that is first from the womb. Every firstborn male animal will belong to Adonai .
(iii) Fire came forth from the presence of Adonai , consuming the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces.
Then fire came out from Adonai and destroyed the 250 men who had offered the incense.
All the best of the olive oil, wine and grain, the first portion of what they give to Adonai , I have given to you.
But the firstborn of an ox, sheep or goat you are not to redeem; they are holy — you are to splash their blood against the altar and make their fat go up in smoke as an offering made by fire, as a fragrant aroma for Adonai .
Gill's Notes on the Bible
That I may make it manifest,.... It being a mystery, a secret, which was hid in God from everlasting, and, during the legal dispensation, was wrapped up in types, and shadows, and sacrifices, and is still hidden unto the natural man. Wherefore the apostle was desirous of making it manifest in a ministerial way; for God only, by his Spirit, makes it manifest in a spiritual, experimental, and saving way.
As, says he,
I ought to speak. The Arabic version adds, "concerning it", the Gospel, the mystery of Christ. The apostle's meaning is, that he might deliver it with that clearness and evidence, and use that plainness of speech which became the Gospel, and him as a minister of it, and not ambiguous expressions, equivocal phrases, words of double meanings, on purpose to hide things from men, but by manifestation of the truth, to commend himself to every man's conscience in the sight of God. As also to speak it faithfully, declaring the whole counsel of God, keeping back nothing that might be profitable to the churches; and with all constancy and certainty, with all boldness and intrepidity of soul, and freedom of mind; not seeking to please men, aiming at vain glory, and popular applause, or being afraid of their faces, menaces, and reproaches.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
That I may make it manifest ... - Notes, Ephesians 6:20.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Colossians 4:4. That I may make it manifest — It was a mystery, and he wished to make it manifest-to lay it open, and make all men see it.
