Genesis 4:25 — Verso Génesis 4:25. Dios me ha designado otra semilla en lugar de Abel. Eva debe haber recibido en esta ocasión alguna comunicación Divina, de lo contrario, ¿cómo podría haber sabido que este hijo fue designado en el lugar de Abel, para continuar esa línea santa por

Exodus 13:13 — primogénitos de las tribus en general; y se ordenó que se pagaran los cinco siclos en lugar de los primogénitos que pudieran servir en el santuario, y el dinero se aplicó a la manutención de los sacerdotes y levitas. Vea este tema en general en Números 3:12-4; Números 3:41; Números 3:43; Números 3:45; Números 3:47-4.

Exodus 18:20 — importancia de las ordenanzas de la religión. 2. Debe presentarles toda la ley moral y sus obligaciones para cumplir con todos sus preceptos. 3. Debe señalar a cada uno su deber particular, y lo que se espera de él en su situación, conexiones, c. Y, 4. Debe establecerles a todos su trabajo , y asegurarse de que lo hagan. En un plan como este, tendrá plena oportunidad de mostrar a la gente, 1. Su pecado, ignorancia y locura 2. La pura y la santa ley que han quebrantado y por la que son condenados. 3.

Exodus 30:2 — Verse Exodus 30:2. Four-square — That is, on the upper or under surface, as it showed four equal sides; but it was twice as high as it was broad, being twenty-one inches broad, and three feet six inches high. It was called, not only the altar of incense, but also the golden altar, Numbers 4:11. For the crown, horns, staves, &c., see on the altar of burnt-offering, chap. xxvii. Exodus 27:1; Exodus 27:1, &c.

Exodus 7:10 — Verso Éxodo 7:10. Se convirtió en una serpiente... תנין tanino . Qué tipo de serpiente se pretende aquí, los eruditos no están de acuerdo. De la manera en que se usa la palabra original en  Salmo 74:13 ;  Isaías 27:1 ;  Isaías 51:9 ;  Job 7:12; Probablemente se refiera a alguna criatura muy grande, ya sea acuática o anfibia; algunos han pensado que aquí se trata del cocodrilo, un animal egipcio muy conocido. En Éxodo 4:3  se dice que esta vara

1 Kings 4:28 — Verse 1 Kings 4:28. And dromedaries — The word רכש rechesh, which we translate thus, is rendered beasts, or beasts of burden, by the Vulgate; mares by the Syriac and Arabic; chariots by the Septuagint; and race-horses by the Chaldee. The original word seems to signify a very swift kind of horse, and race-horse or post-horse is probably its true meaning. To communicate with so many distant provinces, Solomon had need of many animals of this kind.

Nehemiah 1:4 — Verse Nehemiah 1:4. And mourned certain days — From the month Chisleu to the month Nisan; about four months from the time he received the above information, till the time that Artaxerxes noticed his grief, Nehemiah 2:1. All this time he probably spent in supplication to God; waiting for a favourable opening in the Divine providence. Every good work is not to be undertaken hastily; prayer and watchfulness are necessary to its completion. Many good works have been ruined by making haste.

Nehemiah 9:32 — Verse 32. On our kings, on our princes — I believe Nehemiah in this place mentions the whole of civil society in its officers as they stand related to each other in dignity: -1. KINGS, as supreme.2. PRINCES.3. PRIESTS.4. PROPHETS.5. The FATHERS, heads or chiefs of tribes and families.6. The COMMON PEOPLE.Those who disturb this natural order (for it subsists even in Britain) are enemies to the peace of the whole, whatever they may pretend to the contrary.

Esther 4:8 — Verse Esther 4:8. That she should go in unto the king — The Greek adds, "Remember the time of your low estate, and in what manner you have been nourished, and carried in my arms; and that Haman, who is next to the king, has got a decree for our destruction. Pray, therefore, to the Lord, and plead with the king, that we may be delivered from death." But there is not a word of this either in the Hebrew, Syriac, or Vulgate.

Job 4:19 — Verse Job 4:19. How much less — Rather, with the VULGATE, How much more? If angels may be unstable, how can man arrogate stability to himself who dwells in an earthly tabernacle, and who must shortly return to dust?Crushed before the moth? The slightest accident oftentimes destroys. "A fly, a grape-stone, or a hair can kill." Great men have fallen by all these. This is the general idea in the text, and it is useless to sift for meanings.

Job 5:24 — Versículo Job 5:24 . Sabrás. Estarás tan plenamente satisfecho de la disposición amistosa de todos tus vecinos, que descansarás seguro en tu cama, y ​​no temerás a ningún peligro, aunque duermas en tu tienda en el campo ; y cuando regreses de tus excursiones por el campo,

Psalms 3:4 — Verse Psalms 3:4. I cried unto the Lord with my voice — He was exposed to much danger, and therefore he had need of fervour.He heard me — Notwithstanding my enemies said, and my friends feared, that there was no help for me in my God; yet he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah: mark this, and take encouragement from it. God never forsakes those who trust in him. He never shuts out the prayer of the distressed.

Leviticus 12:2 — Verse Leviticus 12:2. If a woman have conceived — In the extent mentioned here the ordinances of this chapter have little relation to us: and to inquire into their physical reasons, as far as they related to the Jews, could afford but little edification; and to make such a subject sufficiently plain would require such minute examination and circumstantial detail as could scarcely be proper for several readers. All that is necessary to be said the reader will find on Leviticus 12:4.

Leviticus 9:2 — Verse Leviticus 9:2. Take thee a young calf, &c. — As these sacrifices were for Aaron himself, they are furnished by himself and not by the people, for they were designed to make atonement for his own sin. See Leviticus 4:3. And this is supposed by the Jews to have been intended to make an atonement for his sin in the matter of the golden calf. This is very probable, as no formal atonement for that transgression had yet been made.

Numbers 10:29 — Versículo Números 10:29 . Moisés le dijo a Hobab.  Para un relato circunstancial de esta persona, véanse las notas sobre Éxodo 2:15-2 ; Éxodo 2:18 ; Éxodo 3:1 ; Éxodo 4:20 ; Éxodo 4:24 ; y para la transacción registrada aquí, y que probablemente esté fuera de lugar, véase Éxodo 18:5 , donde se analiza el tema en general. Estamos en camino.  Dios nos ha sacado de la esclavitud, y hasta ahora estamos en camino por

Numbers 28:2 — generaciones anteriores están todas muertas, las multitudes del presente podrían ignorar estas ordenanzas. A su debido tiempo , Moisés divide estas ofrendas en: - 1. DIARIO. Los sacrificios de la mañana y de la tarde : un cordero cada vez, Números 28:3-4 . 2. SEMANAL. Las ofrendas del sábado , dos corderos de un año, Números 28:9. 3. MENSUAL. Al principio de cada mes , dos becerros , un carnero , siete corderos de un año y un cabrito para expiación, Números 28:11. 4. ANUAL. 1° La pascua para durar

Deuteronomy 3:29 — de Dios y la excesiva pecaminosidad del pecado, no podía llevar al pueblo a la posesión de ese reino. 3. Moisés probablemente puede ser considerado aquí como el emblema de esa ley por la cual es el conocimiento del pecado, pero no la redención de él. 4. Josué, lo mismo que Jesús , nombre que significa Salvador , es designado para llevar al pueblo al reposo que Dios les había provisto; por lo tanto, es solo por Jesucristo que el alma es salvada , capacitada y traída a la posesión de la herencia celestial

Deuteronomy 31:6 — Verse Deuteronomy 31:6. Be strong — חזקו chizku, the same word that is used Exodus 4:21; Exodus 9:15, for hardening Pharaoh's heart. See the notes there. The Septuagint, in this and the following verse, have, Ανδριζου και ισχυε, Play the man, and be strong; and from this St. Paul seems to have borrowed his ideas, 1 Corinthians 16:13: Στηκετε εν τῃ πιστει· ανδριζεσθε, κρατιουσθε: Stand firm in the faith; play the man - act like heroes; be vigorous.

Judges 10:4 — Verse Judges 10:4. He had thirty sons, c. — It appears that there was both peace and prosperity during the time that Jair governed Israel he had, it seems, provided for his family, and given a village to each of his thirty sons; which were, in consequence, called Havoth Jair or the villages of Jair. Their riding on thirty ass colts seems to intimate that they were persons of consideration, and kept up a certain dignity in their different departments.

2 Samuel 10:19 — de Israel. Esta lectura no se encuentra en ningún otro lugar. "Así", observa el Dr. Delaney , "los brazos de David fueron bendecidos; y Dios cumplió las promesas que había hecho a Abraham, Génesis 15:18 , y las renovó a Josué, Josué 1:2 ; Josué 1:4 . "Y así, en el espacio de diecinueve o veinte años, David tuvo la buena fortuna de terminar gloriosamente ocho guerras, todas emprendidas con rectitud y todas terminadas honorablemente; a saber: 1. La guerra civil con Is-boset . 2. La guerra contra
