Psalms 34:1 — sinceramente buscan Dios , 17-22. NOTAS SOBRE EL SALMO XXXIV El título dice que se trata de "Un salmo de David, cuando cambió su conducta ante Abimelec, quien lo expulsó y se marchó". La historia de esta transacción puede encontrarse en 1 Samuel 21:10-9 , sobre cuyo capítulo véanse las notas. Pero Abimelec no es la persona mencionada allí; fue Aquis, rey de Gat, llamado aquí Abimelec, porque ese era un nombre común de los reyes filisteos. Ni el MS. ni la versión leen Aquis en este lugar; y todas las

Leviticus 22:27 — acquired the perfection of its nature. There is something brutish in eating the young of beast or fowl before the hair and hoofs are perfect in the one, and the feathers and claws in the other. Before this period their flesh is not good for food. Leviticus 9:1.

Daniel 9:24 — Verse Daniel 9:24. Seventy weeks are determined — This is a most important prophecy, and has given rise to a variety of opinions relative to the proper mode of explanation; but the chief difficulty, if not the only one, is to find out the time from which these

Hosea overview — II., king of Israel. If he prophesied in the reign of all these princes, he must have lived a very long time; for there are a hundred and twelve years from the beginning of Uzziah's reign to the end of Hezekiah's reign. Uzziah began to reign A.M. 3194, and Hezekiah's reign ended in 3306. Add, if you please, twenty or five and twenty years, which might be the age of Hosea when he began to prophesy; and this will make one hundred and thirty-two, or one hundred and thirty-seven years. And if we were

Romans 6:6 — para Aquel que murió y resucitó. Así, la metáfora, en todos sus sentidos principales, es completa y se aplica con mayor fuerza al tema en cuestión. Encontramos que παλαιος ανθρωπος, el hombre viejo , usado aquí, y en Efesios 4:22 , y Colosenses 3:9 , es lo mismo que la carne con sus pasiones y deseos , Gálatas 5:24 ; y el cuerpo de los pecados de la carne , Colosenses 2:11,  Efesios 4:22, Colosenses 3:9,  Gálatas 5:24,  Colosenses 2:11; y lo mismo que los escritores judíos llaman אדם הקדמוני,

Hebrews 6:5 — often taken for a mighty work or miracle, is plain from various parts of the gospels. The prophets had declared that the Messiah, when he came, should work many miracles, and should be as mighty in word and deed as was Moses; see Deuteronomy 18:15-19. And they particularly specify the giving sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, strength to the lame, and speech to the dumb; Isaiah 35:5; Isaiah 35:6. All these miracles Jesus Christ did in the sight of this very people; and thus they had the highest

Hebrews 6:5 — gustar, significa experimentar o tener plena prueba de una cosa. Así, probar la muerte,  Mateo 16:28 , es morir, caer bajo el poder de la muerte, experimentar plenamente su naturaleza destructiva en lo que respecta al cuerpo.  Véase también Lucas 9:27 ; Juan 8:52 . Y se usa en el mismo sentido en Hebreos 2:9 de esta epístola, donde se dice que Cristo probó la muerte por todos los hombres; pues a pesar de la metáfora, que el lector verá explicada en la nota sobre el lugar anterior, la palabra
