Exodus 19:12 — made all round the mountain, or only at that part to which one wing of the camp extended, is not evident.This verse strictly forbids the people from coming near and touching Mount Sinai, which was burning with FIRE. The words therefore in Exodus 19:15, אל תגשו אל אשה al tiggeshu el ishshah, come not at your wives, seem rather to mean, come not near unto the FIRE; especially as the other phrase is not at all probable: but the fire is, on this occasion, spoken of so emphatically (see Deuteronomy 5:4-5;

2 Kings 5:5 — Verse 2 Kings 5:5. The king of Syria said — He judged it the best mode of proceeding to send immediately to the king, under whose control he supposed the prophet must be, that he would order the prophet to cure his general.Ten talents of silver — This,

Isaiah 25:5 — Verse Isaiah 25:5. Of strangers - "Of the proud"] The same mistake here as in Isaiah 25:2: see the note there. Isaiah 25:2. Here זדים zedim, the proud, is parallel to עריצים aritsim, the formidable: as in Psalms 54:5, and Psalms 86:14.The heat with the shadow of a

Matthew 5:14 — Verse Matthew 5:14. Ye are the light of the world — That is, the instruments which God chooses to make use of to illuminate the minds of men; as he uses the sun (to which probably he pointed) to enlighten the world. Light of the world, נר עולם ner olam, was a

Matthew 5:14 — Versículo Mateo 5:14 . Vosotros sois la luz del mundo. Es decir, los instrumentos de los que Dios se sirve para iluminar la mente de los hombres; mientras usa el sol (al que probablemente señaló) para iluminar el mundo. Luz del mundo , נר עולם ner olam, era un título

Mark 5:40 — Verse Mark 5:40. The father and the mother — Prudence required that they should be present, and be witnesses of the miracle.And them that were with him — That is, Peter, James, and John, Mark 5:37. It is remarkable that our Lord gave a particular preference

Mark 8:34 — Fue por este motivo que los judíos llamaron al proselitismo un nuevo nacimiento, y a los prosélitos recién nacidos, y hombres nuevos; y nuestro Señor requiere que los hombres nazcan de nuevo, no sólo del agua, sino por el Espíritu Santo. Véase Juan 3:5. Todo esto nuestro Señor lo incluye en esta palabra: Que renuncie a sí mismo. A esto se refieren las siguientes escrituras:  Consulte Juan 3:5. Todo esto nuestro Señor incluye en esta palabra, Que  renuncie a sí mismo . A esto se refieren las siguientes

Luke 6:36 — miseries of the distressed. A merciful or compassionate man easily forgets injuries; pardons them without being solicited; and does not permit repeated returns of ingratitude to deter him from doing good, even to the unthankful and the unholy. Matthew 5:7; Matthew 5:7.

Luke 6:36 — miserias de los afligidos. Un hombre misericordioso o compasivo olvida fácilmente las injurias; las perdona sin que se le solicite; y no permite que las repetidas ingratitudes le disuadan de hacer el bien, incluso a los ingratos y a los impíos. Mateo 5:7 Mateo 5:7.

John 1:29 — Verse 29. The next day — The day after that on which the Jews had been with John, John 1:19.Behold the Lamb of God, c.] This was said in allusion to what was spoken Isaiah 53:7. Jesus was the true Lamb or Sacrifice required and appointed by God, of which those offered daily in the tabernacle and temple, Exodus 29:38-39, and especially the paschal lamb, were only the types and representatives. See Exodus 12:4-5; 1 Corinthians

John 1:4 — in him was life, is not to be understood of life natural, but of that life eternal which he revealed to the world, 2 Timothy 1:10, to which he taught the way, John 14:6, which he promised to believers, John 10:28, which he purchased for them, John 6:51; John 6:53-54, which he is appointed to give them, John 17:2, and to which he will raise them up, John 5:29, because he hath the life in himself, John 5:26. All this may be proved:1. From the like expressions; 2 John 1:5:11, This is the promise that

John 1:4 — la expresión en él estaba vida , no debe entenderse de vida natural , sino de esa vida eterna que reveló al mundo, 2 Timoteo 1:10, a la que enseñó el camino, Juan 14:6, que prometió a los creyentes, Juan 10:28, que compró para ellos, Juan 6:51; Juan 6:53-43, que está designado para darles, Juan 17:2, y al que los levantará , Juan 5:29, porque tiene la vida en sí mismo, Juan 5:26. Todo esto puede probarse: 1. De las expresiones semejantes; 2 Juan 1:5: 11, Esta es la promesa que Dios

John 1:5 — Verse John 1:5. And the light shineth in darkness — By darkness here may be understood:1. The heathen world, Ephesians 5:8.2. The Jewish people.3. The fallen spirit of man.Comprehended it not. — αυτο ου κατελαβεν, Prevented it not-hindered it not, says

John 5:25 — Verse 25. The dead shall hear the voice — Three kinds of death are mentioned in the Scriptures: natural, spiritual, and eternal.The first consists in the separation of the body and soul. The second in the separation of God and the soul. The third in the

John 5:25 — Versículo 25. Los muertos oirán la voz...  En las Escrituras se mencionan tres tipos de muerte: natural, espiritual y eterna . La primera consiste en la separación del cuerpo y el alma. La segunda en la separación de Dios y el alma. La tercera en la separación

Acts 7:9 — chief or head of his respective family or tribe.Moved with envy — ζηλωσαντες. We translate ζηλος variously: zeal or fervent affection, whether its object be good or bad, is its general meaning; and ζηλοω signifies to be indignant, envious, c. Acts 5:17; Acts 5:17. The brethren of Joseph, hearing of his dreams, and understanding them to portend his future advancement, filled with envy, (with which no ordinary portion of malice was associated,) sold Joseph into the land of Egypt, hoping by this means

Galatians 5:9 — Versículo 9. Un poco de levadura leuda toda la masa... Expresión proverbial, ver 1 Corintios 5:6 , aplicada muy acertadamente a los que reciben la más mínima tintura de falsa doctrina, relativa a las cosas esenciales para la salvación, que pronto influye en toda la conducta, de modo que el hombre se pervierte totalmente. Podrían haber argumentado:

1 Timothy 5:16 — sick, c., c. For the performing of such offices it is very likely that none but widows were employed and these were chosen, other things being equal, out of the most indigent of the widows, and therefore called by the apostle, here and in 1 Timothy 5:3, αἱς οντως χηραι, widows indeed-widows desolate, without support, and without relatives. See note on 1 Timothy 5:10.

Judges 5:14 — Verse Judges 5:14. Out of Ephraim - a root of them — Deborah probably means that out of Ephraim and Benjamin came eminent warriors. Joshua, who was of the tribe of Ephraim, routed the Amalekites a short time after the Israelites came out of Egypt, Exodus 17:10.

Revelation 5:5 — Versículo Apocalipsis 5:5 . El León de la tribu de Judá.  Jesucristo, que descendió de esta tribu, como prueba su genealogía; ver Mateo 1:2 ; Mateo 1:3 y Lucas 3:33 . Hay una alusión aquí a Génesis 49:9 , Judá es un cachorro de león ; el león era el emblema de esta tribu
