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
And he must needs go through Samaria. Not the city, but the country of Samaria; for the way to Galilee from Judea, lay through the midst of Samaria; nor was there any other way, without going a great way about; see Luke 9:51; and which is also confirmed by Josephus c: and this accounts for his going through Samaria, consistently with his forbidding his apostles going in the way of the Gentiles, or into any of the cities of the Samaritans; since here was a necessity for it, or otherwise he himself would not have gone, where he forbid his disciples; though the prohibition may be understood, not of barely going into a Samaritan city; for it was lawful for them, notwithstanding that, to go into one of them, as appears from John 4:8; but of going to preach there,
Matthew 10:5. And besides this necessity, there was another thing that lay upon him, and obliged him to take this tour, and that is, the calling and conversion of a certain woman, and other Samaritans, whom the Father had given to him, and he was to redeem by his blood; and the time of whose effectual calling was now come; and therefore he must needs go this way, and at this particular time. The Arabic and Persic versions represent it, as a purpose and determination in his mind to go this way.
c Antiqu. Jud. 50:20. c 5. & in vita sua, p. 1019.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And he must needs go through Samaria - Samaria was between Judea and Galilee. The direct and usual way was to pass through Samaria. Sometimes, however, the Jews took a circuitous route on the east side of the Jordan. See the notes at Matthew 2:22.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse John 4:4. And he must needs go through Samaria. — Or, It was necessary for him to pass through Samaria: for this plain reason, and no other, because it was the only proper road. Samaria lay northward of Judea, and between the great sea, Galilee, and Jordan; and there was therefore no going from Galilee to Jerusalem but through this province. Luke 17:11; Luke 17:11. From Jerusalem to Galilee through Samaria, according to Josephus, was three days' journey. See his own life.
