Genesis 25:18 — Verse Genesis 25:18. They dwelt from Havilah unto Shur — The descendants of Ishmael possessed all that country which extends from east to west, from Havilah on the Euphrates, near its junction with the Tigris, to the desert of Shur eastward of Egypt; and which

Ecclesiastes 5:6 — Versículo Eclesiastés 5:6 . Ni digas delante del ángel, que fue un error. Ni pienses en decir "delante del ángel cruel, que ejercerá autoridad sobre ti en el juicio del gran día, que lo hiciste por ignorancia". - Caldeo . Creo que por el ángel no se pretende otra cosa que el sacerdote , cuyo oficio era tomar conocimiento de los votos y ofrendas. Ver Levítico 5:4-3 . En Malaquías 2:7 , el sacerdote es llamado el "ángel del Señor de los ejércitos".

Isaiah 5:19 — Verse Isaiah 5:19. Let the counsel of the Holy One — Tryphiodorus has an expression something like this: - ______ επει Διος ηλυθε βουλη TRYPH. Il Excid. 239. Because the counsel of Jupiter was come. "This expression, ηλυθε βουλη, is, I believe, something uncommon;

Isaiah 5:19 — Versículo Isaías 5:19 . Deje que el consejo del Santo. Tryphiodorus tiene una expresión algo como esto: - ______ επει Διος ηλυθε βουλη TRIF. Il Excid . 239. Porque vino el consejo de Júpiter. "Esta expresión, ηλυθε βουλη, es, creo, algo poco común; pero es exactamente paralela y explicada por un pasaje en Isaías, Isaías 5:19 . La Septuaginta lo ha expresado con las mismas palabras con Trifiodoro : αι ελθοι ἡ βουλ η του ἁγιου Ισραηλ, ἱνα γνωμεν". - Nota de Merrick, ad loc .

Ezekiel 37:12 — Versículo Ezequiel 37:12 . Abriré vuestras tumbas. Aquí hay una alusión directa a la resurrección general ; una doctrina debidamente acreditada y entendida por los judíos, y a la cual se refiere nuestro Señor, Juan 5:25 ; Juan 5:28 : "La hora viene cuando los que están en sus sepulcros oirán su voz, y saldrán". Y haceros subir de vuestras tumbas. Estoy decidido a que seáis restaurados; de modo que aun estando en vuestras tumbas , como la humanidad en la resurrección

Deuteronomy 5:1 — CHAPTER V God's covenant with the people in Horeb, 1-4. Moses the mediator of it, 5. A repetition of the ten commandments, 6-21; which God wrote on two tables of stone, 22. The people are filled with dread at the terrible majesty of God, 23-26; and beseech Moses to be their mediator, 27. The Lord admits of their request, 28; and deplores

Luke 13:6 — Almighty.2. Had a fig tree, the Jewish Church.3. Planted in his vineyard - established in the land of Judea.4. He came seeking fruit - he required that the Jewish people should walk in righteousness, in proportion to the spiritual culture he bestowed on them.5. The vine-dresser - the Lord Jesus, for God hath committed all judgment to the Son, John 5:22.John 5:6. Cut it down - let the Roman sword be unsheathed against it.7. Let it alone - Christ is represented as intercessor for sinners, for whose sake the

Déjalo en paz - Cristo es representado como intercesor por los pecadores, por cuya causa

Luke 7:46 — Verse 46. My head with oil thou didst not anoint — Anointing the head with oil was as common among the Jews as washing the face with water is among us. See Ruth 3:3; 2 Samuel 12:20; 2 Samuel 14:2; 2 Kings 4:2; and Psalms 23:5, where the author alludes to the Jewish manner of receiving and entertaining a guest. Thou preparest a table for me; anointest my head with oil; givest me an overflowing cup. See Matthew 5:17.

Luke 7:46 — Verso 46. Mi cabeza con aceite no ungiste...  Ungir la cabeza con aceite fue tan común entre los judíos como lavar la cara con agua está entre nosotros. Ver Rut 3:3; 2 Samuel 12:20; 2 Samuel 14:2; 2 Reyes 4:2; y Salmo 23:5, donde el autor alude a la manera judía de recibir y entretener a un invitado. Preparas una mesa para mí; unges mi cabeza con aceite ; dame una rebosante taza . Consulte Mateo 5:17.

John 1:45 — Verse 45. Nathanael — This apostle is supposed to be the same with Bartholomew, which is very likely, for these reasons1. That the evangelists who mention Bartholomew say nothing of Nathanael; and that St. John, who speaks of Nathanael, says nothing of

John 1:45 — Verso 45. Natanael...   Se supone que este apóstol es el mismo que Bartolomé, lo cual es muy probable, por estas razones 1. Que los evangelistas que mencionan a Bartolomé no dicen nada de Natanael; y que San Juan, que habla de Natanael, no dice nada de Bartolomé. 2.

John 21:6 — Verse John 21:6. And ye shall find. — The AEthiopic, three copies of the Itala, and St. Cyril, add, They said therefore unto him, we have laboured all the night and caught nothing, nevertheless at thy command we will let down the net. This is borrowed from Luke 5:5.For the multitude of fishes. — This was intended as an emblem of the immense number of souls which should be converted to God by their ministry; according to the promise of Christ, Matthew 4:19.

Acts 24:5 — Verse Acts 24:5. For we have found this man, c.] Here the proposition of the orator commences. He accuses Paul, ant his accusation includes four particulars:-1. He is a pest, λοιμος an exceedingly bad and wicked man.2. He excites disturbances and seditions against

Acts 5:10 — Verse Acts 5:10. Yielded up the ghost — See Acts 5:5. It was not by Peter's words, nor through Peter's prayers, nor through shame, nor through remorse, that this guilty pair died, but by an immediate judgment of God. The question of the salvation of Ananias

Acts 8:5 — Verse Acts 8:5. Then Philip — One of the seven deacons, Acts 6:5, called afterwards, Philip the Evangelist, Acts 21:8.The city of Samaria — At this time there was no city of Samaria existing: according to Josephus, Ant. lib. xiii. cap. 10, sect. 3, Hyrcanus

2 Corinthians 5:21 — Verse 2 Corinthians 5:21. For he hath made him to be sin for us — Τον μη γνοντα ἁμαρτιαν, ὑπερ ἡμων ἁμαρτιαν εποιησεν· He made him who knew no sin, (who was innocent,) a sin-offering for us. The word αμαρτια occurs here twice: in the first place it means sin, i.e.

James 2:5 — Verse James 2:5. Hath not God chosen the poor of this world — This seems to refer to Matthew 11:5: And the poor have the Gospel preached to them. These believed on the Lord Jesus, and found his salvation; while the rich despised, neglected, and persecuted him. These had that faith in Christ which put them in possession of the choicest spiritual blessings, and gave them a right to the kingdom of heaven. While, therefore, they were despised of men, they were highly prized of God.

Revelation 14:3 — Verse Revelation 14:3. They sung-a new song — Revelation 5:9; Revelation 5:9.No man could learn that song — As none but genuine Christians can worship God acceptably, because they approach him through the only Mediator, so none can understand the deep things of God but such; nor can others know the cause why true believers exult so much in God through Christ, because they know not the communion which such hold with the Father and the Son through the Holy Ghost.
