Bible Commentaries

Genesis 47:1 — consents, and desires that some of the most active of them should be made rulers over his cattle, 5, 6. Joseph presents his father to Pharaoh, 7, who questions him concerning his age, 8, to which Jacob returns an affecting answer, and blesses Pharaoh, 9, 10. Joseph places his father and family in the land of Rameses, (Goshen), and furnishes them with provisions, 11, 12. The famine prevailing in the land, the Egyptians deliver up all their money to Joseph to get food, 13-15. The next year they bring

Genesis 50:1 — days, 3. Joseph begs permission from Pharaoh to accompany his father's corpse to Canaan, 4, 5. Pharaoh consents, 6. Pharaoh's domestics and elders, the elders of Egypt, Joseph and his brethren, with chariots, horsemen, c., form the funeral procession, 7-9. They come to the threshing-floor of Atad, and mourn there seven days, 10. The Canaanites call the place Abel-Mizraim, 11. They bury Jacob in the cove of Machpelah, 12, 13. Joseph returns to Egypt, 14. His brethren, fearing his displeasure, send messengers

Exodus 20:5 — happiness.Visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children — This necessarily implies - IF the children walk in the steps of their fathers; for no man can be condemned by Divine justice for a crime of which he was never guilty; see Ezekiel 13:1-9. Idolatry is however particularly intended, and visiting sins of this kind refers principally to national judgments. By withdrawing the Divine protection the idolatrous Israelites were delivered up into the hands of their enemies, from whom the gods

Exodus 33:15 — that he may lead them up with confidence, and be able to give them the most explicit assurances of support and protection. But by what means should these manifestations take place? This question seems to be answered by the Prophet Isaiah, Isaiah 63:9: In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the Angel of his presence (פניו panaiv, of his faces) saved them. So we find that the goodness and mercy of God were to be manifested by the Angel of the Covenant, the Lord Jesus, the Messiah; and this

Exodus 9:3 — The FIFTH plague - the MURRAINVerse Exodus 9:3. The hand of the Lord — The power of God manifested in judgment.Upon the horses — סוסים susim. This is the first place the horse is mentioned; a creature for which Egypt and Arabia were always famous. sus is supposed to have the same meaning

Psalms 137:9 — Verse Psalms 137:9. Happy - that taketh and dasheth thy little ones — That is, So oppressive hast thou been to all under thy domination, as to become universally hated and detested; so that those who may have the last hand in thy destruction, and the total extermination

Psalms 28:9 — Versículo Salmo 28:9 . Salva a tu pueblo. Continúa preservándolos de todos sus enemigos; de la idolatría y del pecado de toda especie. Bendice tu heredad. Te han tomado por su Dios; los has tomado para tu pueblo. Aliméntalos. רעה raah significa tanto alimentar como gobernar.

Isaiah 29:1 — Senaquerib, con manifiesta alusión, sin embargo, a la angustia aún mayor que sufrió de los romanos , 1-4. Decepción y caída de Senaquerib descritos en términos, como el evento más espantoso y terrible , 5-8. La estupidez e hipocresía de los judíos , 9-16. Rechazo de los judíos y llamamiento de los gentiles , 17. El capítulo concluye con una recurrencia a los temas favoritos del profeta, a saber, la gran extensión de la vida del Mesías y su reino en los últimos días, y la futura restauración de Israel

Numbers 10:2 — Solomon, when the priests had greatly increased, there were 120 priests sounding with trumpets, 2 Chronicles 5:12.Josephus intimates that one of these trumpets was always used to call the nobles together, the other to assemble the people; see Numbers 9:4. It is possible that these trumpets were made of different lengths and wideness, and consequently they would emit different tones. Thus the sound itself would at once show which was the summons for the congregation, and which for the princes only.

Matthew 21:46 — un reino secular. 4. Lo que hizo en este momento fue cumplir una declaración de Dios entregada por dos profetas, más de 700 años antes, en relación con su humildad, pobreza y total muerte a todo gobierno secular y pompa. Ver Isaías 62:11; Zacarías 9:9. 5. Todo el tiempo que pasó ahora en Jerusalén, que fueron unos cinco días, lo pasó enseñando, precisamente de la misma manera que lo había hecho durante los últimos tres años; tampoco encontramos que pronunció una máxima diferente a lo que enseñó

Matthew 9:23 — Verso Mateo 9:23. Vi a los juglares y a la gente haciendo ruido...  αυλητας, flautistas; Anglosajones, [anglosajones] los silbadores; Góticos, haurngans haurngandans, los cuernos, los que tocan con sus cuernos. Casi lo mismo que los pipublasara, sopladores de pipa

Deuteronomy 10:22 — we are told that they went from Moseroth to Bene-jaakan, thence to Hor-hagidgad, to Jotbathah, to Ebronah, to Ezion-gaber, to Zin, (which is Kadesh), and thence to Mount Hor, where Aaron died in the fortieth and last year. In Deuteronomy, Deuteronomy 9:0, Moses tells the Israelites, (Deuteronomy 9:7), that they had been rebels, from Egypt even to Jordan, particularly at Horeb, (Deuteronomy 9:8-29), whilst he was with God, and received the tables at the end of forty days and nights; and that, after

Deuteronomy 28:68 — Jew for a slave, they had become so despicable to all mankind. When Jerusalem was taken by Titus, many of the captives, which were above seventeen years of age, were sent into the works in Egypt. See Josephus, Antiq., b. xii, 100:1, 2, War b. vi., c. 9, s. 2; and above all, see Bp. Newton's Dissertations on the Prophecies.THE first verse of the next chapter, in some of the most correct Hebrew Bibles, makes the 69th of this; and very properly, as the second verse of the following chapter begins a new

Deuteronomy 29:1 — CHAPTER XXIX A recapitulation of God's gracious dealings with Israel, 1-8. An exhortation to obedience, and to enter into covenant with their God, that they and their posterity may be established in the good land, 9-15. They are to remember the abominations of Egypt, and to avoid them, 16, 17. He who hardens his heart, when he hears these curses, shall be utterly consumed, 18-21. Their posterity shall be astonished at the desolations that shall fall upon them,

Deuteronomy 32:8 — Verse Deuteronomy 32:8. When the Most High divided to the nations, c. — Verses Deuteronomy 32:8 and Deuteronomy 32:9, says Dr. Kennicott, give us express authority for believing that the earth was very early divided in consequence of a Divine command, and probably by lot, (see Acts 17:26) and as Africa is called the land of Ham, (Psalms 78:51; Psalms 105:23; Psalms

Deuteronomy 4:34 — mostrándoles cuándo y dónde acampar, etc. 3. MARAVILLAS, מופתים mophethim, de יפת yaphath, para persuadir, hechos y acontecimientos convincentes, dice Parkhurst, ya sean estrictamente milagrosos, y que excedan los poderes de la naturaleza, como Éxodo 7:9 ; Éxodo 11:9-2 ; o no, como Isaías 20:3 ; Ezequiel 12:6 ; Ezequiel 12:11 . Probablemente significa representaciones típicas : en este significado se usa la palabra, Zacarías 3:8 .  Josué, el sumo sacerdote, y sus compañeros eran אנשי מופת anshey

John 7:2 — de la fiesta los llevaban al templo y caminaban alrededor del altar con ellos en las manos, cantando: "¡Hosanna!", es decir, "¡Salva, te suplicamos!", con las trompetas sonando por todos lados. A esta fiesta parece referirse San Juan,  Apocalipsis 7:9, donde representa a los santos de pie ante el trono, con palmas y  ramas en sus manos , cantando, Salvación a Dios. El séptimo día de la fiesta, dieron siete vueltas alrededor del altar, y esto se llamó Hosanna rabba , la gran Hosanna . Mateo

John 7:53 — dijo: El que esté libre de pecado entre vosotros, que tire primero la piedra contra ella.8. Y agachándose de nuevo, escribió con el dedo en el suelo.    8. Y volviendo a inclinarse, escribió con el dedo en el suelo (los pecados de cada uno de ellos)9. Y cada uno de los judíos salió, comenzando por el más viejo, de modo que todos salieron; y él se quedó solo, estando la mujer en medio.    9. Y cada uno de ellos salió, (Al. y oyendo estas cosas se fueron de uno en uno,) comenzando por el más viejo;

2 Corinthians 9:15 — Verso 2 Corintios 9:15 . Gracias a Dios por su inefable don... Algunos sostienen que aquí sólo se habla de Cristo; otros, que se refiere a la limosna. Después de toda la diferencia de comentaristas y predicadores, es muy evidente que el ανεκδιηγητος δωρεα, don inefable,

Revelation 12:1 — da a luz un hijo, que es arrebatado para Dios; y huye al desierto , 5, 6. La guerra en el cielo entre Miguel y el dragón , 7, 8. El dragón y sus ángeles son vencidos y arrojados a la tierra; por lo cual todo el ejército celestial da gloria a Dios , 9-11. El dragón, lleno de ira por su derrota, persigue a la mujer , 12, 13. Ella huye al desierto, donde él intenta perseguirla; y hace guerra contra su simiente , 14-17. NOTAS SOBRE EL CAP. XII. Antes de introducir el comentario mencionado al final del
