Exodus 18:27 — fiel, Hebreos 3:2; y nunca se le dio ni se le puede dar un carácter superior a ningún gobernador, sagrado o civil. Ni siquiera hizo provisión para sus propios hijos, Gersón y Eliezer; ellos y sus familias se incorporaron a los levitas, 1 Crónicas 23:14 ; y no tenía un empleo más alto que el de cuidar el tabernáculo y la tienda, Números 3:21-4 , y simplemente servir en el tabernáculo y llevar cargas, Números 4:24-4 . Ninguna historia, sagrada o profana, ha podido producir un paralelo completo con

Exodus 27:4 — Verse Exodus 27:4. Thou shalt make for it a grate — Calmet supposes this altar to have been a sort of box, covered with brass plates, on the top of which was a grating to supply the fire with air, and permit the ashes to fall through into the siroth or pan that

Psalms 119:72 — it as a fatherly correction from thee.2. He asks for science and knowledge. A spiritual perception, and taste for heavenly things.3. For this he gives his reason: "I have believed thy commandments." If we believe not God, we cannot profit by his word.4. There is something remarkable in the manner of asking: 1. A good or sound judgment. 2. Knowledge; for without a sound judgment, knowledge is of no use.III. He acknowledges that God's chastisements had done him good.1."Before I was afflicted." Prosperity

Psalms 119:72 — recibe como una corrección paternal de ti. 2. Pide ciencia y conocimiento . Una percepción espiritual, y gusto por las cosas celestiales. 3. Por esto da su razón: "He creído en tus mandamientos". Si no creemos en Dios, no podemos aprovechar su palabra. 4. Hay algo notable en la manera de pedir: 1. Un buen o sano juicio . 2. Conocimiento ; porque sin un buen juicio, el conocimiento no sirve de nada. III. Reconoce que los castigos de Dios le han hecho bien. 1. "Antes de ser afligido". La prosperidad

Psalms 54:7 — Versículo Salmo 54:7 . Porque él me ha librado. Saúl ya se había marchado; y se volvió para salvar sus territorios; y David entre tanto escapó a En-gadi. Dios fue más evidentemente el autor de esta liberación. Mi ojo ha visto su deseo sobre mis enemigos.  No es probable

"Haz una canción alegre". 2. "Canta el honor de su nombre". 3. "Haz gloriosa su alabanza". 4. "Di a Dios". Donde prescribe la forma en que Dios debe ser alabado.

Leviticus 12:1 — CHAPTER XII Ordinances concerning the purification of women after child-birth, 1; after the birth of a son, who is to be circumcised the eighth day, 2, 3. The mother to be considered unclean for forty days, 4. After the birth of a daughter, fourscore days, 5. When the days of her purifying were ended, she was to bring a lamb for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon or a turtle-dove for a sin-offering, 6, 7. If poor, and not able to bring a lamb, she was

Numbers 25:9 — - were twenty and four thousand. — St. Paul, 1 Corinthians 10:8, reckons only twenty-three thousand; though some MSS. and versions, particularly the latter Syriac and the Armenian, have twenty-four thousand, with the Hebrew text. Allowing the 24,000 to be the genuine reading, and none of the Hebrew MSS. exhibit any various reading here, the two places may be reconciled thus: 1,000 men were slain in consequence of the examination instituted Numbers 25:4, and 23,000 in consequence of the orders

Numbers 36:1 — CHAPTER XXXVI The inconveniences which might be produced by daughters, inheritances, marrying out of their own tribe, remedied on the recommendation of certain chiefs of the tribe of Joseph, who stated the case of the daughters of Zelophehad, 1-4. The daughters of Zelophehad are commanded to marry in their own tribe, 5, 6; which is to be an ordinance in all similar circumstances, 7-9. The daughters of Zelophehad marry their father's brother's sons, and thus their inheritance is preserved in

Deuteronomy 2:37 — commission; and those only were to be cut off, the cup of whose iniquity was full. Though the Moabites and Ammonites were thus spared, they requited good with evil, for they fought against the Israelites, and cast them out of their possessions, Judges 11:4-5; 2 Chronicles 20:1, c., and committed the most shocking cruelties see Amos 1:13. Hence God enacted a law, that none of these people should enter into the congregation of the Lord even to their tenth generation: see Deuteronomy 23:3-6.

Deuteronomy 8:1 — CHAPTER VIII An exhortation to obedience from a consideration of God's past mercies, 1, 2. Man is not to live by bread only, but by every word of God, 3.

Cautions lest they should forget God in their prosperity, 10-16, and lest they should attribute that prosperity to themselves, and

John 1:17 — itself, was little in comparison of the Gospel: as it proceeded from the justice and holiness of God, and was intended to convict men of sin, that the way of the Gospel might be the better prepared, it was a law of rigour, condemnation, and death: Romans 4:15; 2 Corinthians 3:7-8. It was a law of shadows, types, and figures: Hebrews 10:1, and incapable of expiating sin by its sacrifices: Romans 8:3; Hebrews 7:18-19; Hebrews 10:1, Hebrews 10:11. But Christ has brought that grace which is opposed to condemnation:

John 1:17 — comparación con el Evangelio: ya que procedía de la justicia y santidad de Dios, y estaba destinada a convencer a los hombres de pecado, para que el camino del Evangelio estuviera mejor preparado, era una ley de rigor, condena y muerte : Romanos 4:15; 2 Corintios 3:7. Era una ley de sombras, tipos y figuras : Hebreos 10:1, e incapaz de expiar el pecado con sus sacrificios: Romanos 8:3; Hebreos 7:18; Hebreos 10:1, Hebreos 10:11. Pero Cristo ha traído esa gracia que se opone a la condenación

John 4:37 — inured to toil, Not for yourselves subdue the stubborn soil! Bishop Pearce gives this text a remarkable turn. The verse he translates thus: I sent you away, that ye might reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour; i.e. I did not send you to the city (John 4:8) for this purpose only, that ye might buy meat; but I sent you away chiefly with this intent, that there might be a harvest for you to reap upon your return; though you sowed no seed, and bestowed no labour for that purpose. While you were gone, I

John 4:37 — acostumbradas al trabajo, ¡No para ustedes mismos someter la tierra obstinada! El obispo Pearce da a este texto un giro notable. El verso lo traduce así: Os envié para que cosecharais lo que no trabajasteis; es decir, no os envié a la ciudad ( Juan 4:8) sólo con este propósito, para que comprarais carne; sino que os envié principalmente con esta intención, para que hubiera una cosecha que pudierais recoger a vuestro regreso; aunque no sembrasteis ninguna semilla, ni disteis ningún trabajo para ese

Ruth 2:1 — CHAPTER II Ruth goes to glean in the field of Boaz, 1-3. Boaz finds her, and inquires who she is, 4-7.

She returns in the evening to Naomi, and tells her of her fare; from whom she receives encouragement and advice, 17-23. NOTES ON CHAP. IIVerse
