Genesis 19:38 — en atenuación de la transacción (considerando sus circunstancias peculiares) fue ciertamente una mala. Los Moabitas pronto cayeron de la fe de Dios y se convirtieron en idólatras , el pueblo de Chemosh , y de Baal-peor , Números 21:29; Números 25:1-4; y eran enemigos de los hijos de Abraham. Ver Números 22:1-4 c .; Jueces 3:14, c. Y los amonitas , que habitaban cerca de los moabitas, se unieron a ellos en la idolatría, y también eran enemigos de Israel.

Exodus 12:22 — mint, origanum, marjoram, and HYSSOP: the latter seems to be the most proper. Parkhurst says it is named from its detersive and cleansing qualities, whence it was used in sprinkling the blood of the paschal lamb, in cleansing the leprosy, Leviticus 14:4; Leviticus 14:6; Leviticus 14:51-52; in composing the water of purification, Numbers 19:6, and sprinkling it, Numbers 19:18.

Exodus 4:6 — Verse Exodus 4:6. His hand was leprous as snow. — That is, the leprosy spread itself over the whole body in thin white scales; and from this appearance it has its Greek name λεπρα, from λεπις, a scale. Dr. Mead says, "I have seen a remarkable case of this in

Psalms 105:45 — Verse Psalms 105:45. That they might observe his statutes — That they might be properly instructed, and properly disciplined. This is the end proposed by Divine revelation: men are to be made wise unto salvation, and then to be brought under the yoke of obedience.

Psalms 137:9 — lugar. No hay que omitir que el caldeo considera este salmo como un diálogo, que divide así: - Los tres primeros versos se supone que fueron pronunciados por el salmista, Por los ríos. Los levitas responden desde el pórtico del templo, en Salmo 137:4 , ¿Cómo cantaremos? La voz del Espíritu Santo responde en Salmo 137:5 , Si me olvido de ti...  Michael, el príncipe de Jerusalén , responde en Salmo 137:7 , Acuérdate, oh Señor... Gabriel, el príncipe de Sión , luego se dirige al destructor de la nación

Psalms 84:11 — Verse Psalms 84:11. For the Lord God is a sun and shield — To illuminate, invigorate, and warm; to protect and defend all such as prefer him and his worship to every thing the earth can produce.It is remarkable that not one of the Versions understand the שמש

Psalms 84:11 — Versículo Salmo 84:11 . Porque el Señor Dios es un sol y un escudo. Para iluminar, vigorizar y calentar; para proteger y defender a todos aquellos que lo prefieren a él y a su culto antes que a cualquier cosa que la tierra pueda producir. Es notable que ninguna de las

Numbers 20:12 — of spirit, and want of attention to the presence of God.3. He permitted his spirit to be carried away by a sense of the people's disobedience, and thus, being provoked, he was led to speak unadvisedly with his lips: Hear now, ye REBELS, Numbers 20:10.4. He did not acknowledge GOD in the miracle which was about to be wrought, but took the honour to himself and Aaron: "Must WE fetch you water out of this rock?"Thus it plainly appears that they did not properly believe in God, and did not honour him

Numbers 35:5 — Verse Numbers 35:5. And ye shall measure from without the city - two thousand cubits, c. — Commentators have been much puzzled with the accounts in these two verses. In Numbers 35:4 the measure is said to be 1,000 cubits from the wall in Numbers 35:5 the measure is said to be 2,000 from without the city. It is likely these two measures mean the same thing; at least so it was understood by the Septuagint and Coptic, who have δισχιλιους

Romans 7:7 — Pablo para evitar hábilmente, en la medida de lo posible, ofender a los judíos: y esto es particularmente evidente en su uso de la palabra yo en este lugar. Al principio del capítulo, donde menciona su conocimiento de la ley, dice YO;  en  Romanos 7:4 el versículo 4 se une a ellos, y dice nosotros ; pero aquí , y así hasta el final del capítulo, donde representa el poder del pecado y la incapacidad de la ley para subyugarlo, parece dejarlos fuera , y habla en conjunto en  primera persona, aunque
