Genesis 14:18 — Dios verdadero, era sacerdote entre la gente, así como rey sobre ellos . Melquisedec es llamado aquí rey de Salem , y los intérpretes más juiciosos permiten que Salem, Jerusalén se entiende. Que lleva este nombre en la antigüedad es evidente por Salmo 76:1-19: "En Judá es Dios conocido; su nombre es grande en Israel . En SALEM también está su tabernáculo , y su morada en Zion . " Del uso que hicieron de esta parte de la historia sagrada por David, Salmo 110:4, y por San Pablo, Hebreos 7:1-58, nos

Genesis 49:26 — the four mothers, Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Leah, who are likened to the hills: all these blessings shall be a crown of magnificence on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him who was a prince and governor in the land of Egypt." 27. Benjamin is a ravenous wolf: In the morning he shall devour the prey, And in the evening he shall divide the spoil. This tribe is very fitly compared to a ravenous wolf, because of the rude courage and ferocity which they have invariably displayed,

Psalms 124:8 — government; and can employ both in the support, or for the deliverance, of his followers.Or, take the following as a plainer analysis: - I. 1. The subtlety of the adversaries of the Church in laying snares to entrap it, as fowlers do birds, Psalms 124:7.2. Their cruelty in seeking to tear it to pieces, as some ravenous beasts of prey do; or, as mighty inundations that overthrow all in their way, Psalms 124:3-6.II. The cause of this subtlety and cruelty: wrath and displeasure, Psalms 124:3.III. The

Leviticus 13:58 — vivir solo sin el campamento o la ciudad, y comerciar con nadie. 6. La persona infectada estaba obligada a separarse de la sociedad, tanto religiosa como civil; a habitar por sí misma fuera del campo o de la ciudad, y a no tener comercio con nadie. 7. Estaba obligado a proclamar su propia impureza, reconocer públicamente su contaminación y, consciente de su plaga, continuar humillado y abatido ante Dios y los hombres. Una mente espiritual percibirá de inmediato cuán expresivos son todos estos elementos

Leviticus 7:38 — אשם ASHAM, TRESPASS-offering, from אשם asham, to be guilty, or liable to punishment; for in this sacrifice the guilt was considered as being transferred to the animal offered up to God, and the offerer redeemed from the penalty of his sin, Leviticus 7:37. Christ is said to have made his soul an offering for sin, (אשם), Isaiah 53:10.2. אשה ISHSHEH, FIRE-offering, probably from אשש ashash, to be grieved, angered, inflamed; either pointing out the distressing nature of sin, or its property of incensing

Daniel 9:25 — hacia atrás desde el año anterior, nos lleva directamente al mes de Nisán en el año cuatro mil doscientos cincuenta y seis del mismo período; el mismo mes y año en que Esdras recibió la comisión de Artajerjes Longimanus , rey de Persia, (ver Esdras 7:9 ) para restaurar y reconstruir Jerusalén. Ver la comisión en Esdrás , Esdras 7:11 , y Prideaux's Conexiones, vol. ii. pags. 380.

Matthew 1:8 — was not the immediate son of Joram: there were three kings between them, Ahaziah, Joash, and Amaziah, which swell the fourteen generations to seventeen: but it is observed that omissions of this kind are not uncommon in the Jewish genealogies. In Ezra 7:3, Azariah is called the son of Meraioth, although it is evident, from 1 Chronicles 6:7-9, that there were six descendants between them. This circumstance the evangelist was probably aware of but did not see it proper to attempt to correct what he found

Deuteronomy 4:34 — their journeys, showing them when and where to pitch their tents, c., c.3. WONDERS, מופתים mophethim, from יפת yaphath, to persuade persuasive facts and events, says Parkhurst, whether strictly miraculous, and exceeding the powers of nature, as Exodus 7:9; Exodus 11:9-10; or not, as Isaiah 20:3; Ezekiel 12:6; Ezekiel 12:11. It probably means typical representations: in this signification the word is used, Zechariah 3:8. Joshua, the high priest, and his companions were אנשי מופת anshey mopheth, typical

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

Romans 7:22 — Verse Romans 7:22. I delight in the law of God after the inward man — Every Jew, and every unregenerate man, who receives the Old Testament as a revelation from God, must acknowledge the great purity, excellence and utility of its maxims, c., though he will
