Exodus 30:13 — and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world," c.; 1 Peter 1:18-20.9. Therefore all these things seem to refer to Christ alone, and to the atonement made by his blood; and upon him who is not interested in this atonement, God's plagues must be expected to fall. Reader, acquaint now thyself with God and be at peace, and

Exodus 4:21 — truth of this proposition of St. Augustine, when the subject in question is a person who has hardened his own heart by frequently resisting the grace and spirit of God: Non obdurat Deus impertiendo malitiam, sed non impertiendo misericordiam; Epist. 194, ad Sixtum, "God does not harden men by infusing malice into them, but by not imparting mercy to them." And this other will be as readily credited: Non operatur Deus in homine ipsam duritiam cordis; sed indurare eum dicitur quem mollire noluerit, sic

Psalms 45:17 — Messiah is Solomon; of the Church, especially of the Gentiles to be espoused, Pharaoh's daughter.There are three parts in this Psalm: -I. A preface, Psalms 45:1-2.II. The body of this Psalm contains two commendations, -1. Of the bridegroom, Psalms 45:3-9.2. Of the bride, Psalms 45:10-15.III. The conclusion promissory and laudatory, Psalms 45:16-17.I. In the preface the prophet commends the subject he is to treat of, -1. Signifying that it is a good thing; good, as speaking of the Son of God, who is

Psalms 59:1 — avenidas de la casa de David, para que cuando llegara la mañana pudieran apresarlo y matarlo; y de que se salvara gracias a la información que le dio su esposa Mical, a consecuencia de la cual se dejó caer por una ventana, y así escapó. Véase 1 Samuel 19:10-9 . No hay en todo el Salmo ninguna alusión positiva a esta historia; y hay muchas cosas en él que muestran que es totalmente inconsistente con los hechos de esa historia. El Salmo concuerda evidentemente con el tiempo de Nehemías, cuando se esforzaba

Psalms 65:1 — pecados , 1-,3. Es alabado por las maravillas que obra en la naturaleza, que toda la humanidad debe reconocer , 4-8; por las lluvias fertilizadoras que él envía sobre la tierra, y la abundancia así producida tanto para los hombres como para el ganado , 9-13. NOTAS SOBRE EL SALMO LXV El título, "Al músico principal o conquistador, un Salmo y Canción de David". Así el hebreo; y, en efecto, el caldeo, el etiópico y las mejores copias de la Septuaginta. El árabe tiene: "Un Salmo de David sobre la transmigración

Leviticus 25:11 — for the sins of the people; and does not this prove that the great liberty or redemption from thraldom, published under the Gospel, could not take place till the great Atonement, the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus, had been offered up? See Leviticus 25:9.

Isaiah 13:19 — Verse Isaiah 13:19. And Babylon — The great city of Babylon was at this time rising to its height of glory, while the Prophet Isaiah was repeatedly denouncing its utter destruction. From the first of Hezekiah to the first of Nebuchadnezzar, under whom it was brought

Isaiah 13:19 — Versículo Isaías 13:19 . Y Babilonia. La gran ciudad de Babilonia se elevaba en ese momento a su altura de gloria, mientras que el profeta Isaías denunciaba repetidamente su destrucción total. Desde el primero de Ezequías hasta el primero de Nabucodonosor, bajo el cual fue

Isaiah 53:9 — Verse Isaiah 53:9. With the rich in his death - "With the rich man was his tomb"] It may be necessary to introduce Bishop Lowth's translation of this verse before we come to his very satisfactory criticisms: - And his grave was appointed with the wicked; But with the

Isaiah 53:9 — Versículo Isaías 53:9 . Con los ricos en su muerte - "Con el hombre rico estaba su tumba". Puede ser necesario presentar la traducción del obispo Lowth de este versículo antes de llegar a sus muy satisfactorias críticas: - Y su sepulcro fue señalado con los impíos; Pero

Micah overview — He upbraids them with their avarice, their injustice, and falsehood; and tells them they will be the occasion that Jerusalem shall be reduced to a heap of rubbish, and the mountain of the temple shall be as a forest. We are informed, Jeremiah 26:18-19, that this prophecy was pronounced in the reign of Hezekiah; and that it saved Jeremiah from death.After these terrible denunciations, Micah speaks of the reign of the Messiah, and of the establishment of the Christian Church. And as the peaceable times

Matthew 27:46 — me. This word makes a very good sense, and comes nearer to the sabachthani of the evangelists. It may be observed also, that the words, Why hast thou FORGOTTEN me? are often used by David and others, in times of oppression and distress. See Psalms 42:9.Some have taken occasion from these words to depreciate the character of our blessed Lord. "They are unworthy," say they, "of a man who suffers, conscious of his innocence, and argue imbecility, impatience, and despair." This is by no means fairly deducible

Matthew 27:46 — palabra tiene un sentido muy bueno, y se acerca más al sabachthani de los evangelistas. Puede observarse también que las palabras "¿Por qué me has olvidado?" son usadas a menudo por David y otros, en tiempos de opresión y angustia. Consulte Salmo 42:9. Algunos han aprovechado estas palabras para depreciar el carácter de nuestro bendito Señor. "Son indignas", dicen, "de un hombre que sufre, consciente de su inocencia, y argumentan imbecilidad, impaciencia y desesperación". Esto no se deduce en absoluto

Romans 1:7 — believers. Acts 11:23: When he had seen the GRACE of God, i.e. had the fullest evidence that they were richly endowed with heavenly gifts. 1 Corinthians 1:4: For the GRACE of God which is given you - the Divine blessings conferred upon you. 2 Corinthians 9:8: God is able to make all GRACE abound toward you; i.e. to enrich you with every benediction. This is also a very common acceptation of the word; and in this sense the word grace or favour is now generally understood among religious people. The grace

Romans 1:7 — 11:23 : Cuando hubo visto la GRACIA de Dios , es decir, tuvo plena evidencia de que estaban ricamente dotados de dones celestiales. 1 Corintios 1:4 : Por la GRACIA de Dios que os es dada - las bendiciones Divinas que os son conferidas. 2 Corintios 9:8 : Dios es poderoso para hacer que toda GRACIA abunde en vosotros ;  para enriqueceros con toda bendición. Esta es también una aceptación muy común de la palabra; y en este sentido la palabra gracia o favor ahora se entiende generalmente entre las

Romans 4:1 — justicia , 1-5. David también da testimonio de la misma doctrina , 6-8. Abraham, el padre de la raza judía, fue justificado por la fe, incluso antes de que fuera circuncidado; por lo tanto, la salvación debe ser tanto  de los gentiles como de los judíos, 9-12. Y la promesa de que todas las naciones de la tierra serían benditas en él, le fue hecho mientras estaba en una circuncisión Expresar; y, por lo tanto, si la salvación fuera sólo de los judíos, la ley, que fue dada después de la promesa, haría la

Galatians overview — and inroads, very frequently changed their boundaries as well as their masters, and were seldom at one stay.The Galatae were divided into three tribes, the Tectosages, the Trocmi, and the Tolistobogi. According to Pliny their country was divided into 195 tetrarchies, and, according to Strabo, each of the three divisions above mentioned was subdivided into four cantons, each of which had a tetrarch; and besides these twelve tetrarchs, there was a general council of the nation, consisting of 300 senators.

Joshua overview — book that goes under his name was actually compiled by him.It is argued by those who deny Joshua to be the author, that there are both names and transactions in it which did not exist till considerably after Joshua's time. The account we have, Joshua 4:9, of the twelve stones set up by Joshua in the midst of Jordan remaining to the present day, seems to prove that the book, at least this verse, was not written till after Joshua's time; the same may be said of the account of Ai, that Joshua made it a
