Genesis 27:40 — Verso Génesis 27:40. Por tu espada vivirás... Esto no significa absolutamente que los edomitas deban tener constantes guerras; sino que deben ser de una disposición feroz y belicosa, obteniendo su sustento cazando , y mediante excursiones depredadoras sobre las posesiones

Genesis 7:11 — Verso Génesis 7:11. (En el sexagésimo año…) Esto debe haber sido al comienzo del seiscientos años de su vida porque estuvo un año en el arca, Génesis 8:13; y vivió trescientos cincuenta años después del diluvio, y murió novecientos cincuenta años, Génesis 9:29; por

Exodus 12:27 — Verso Éxodo 12:27. Es el sacrificio de la pascua del Señor...  Ya hemos insinuado que el cordero pascual fue un tipo ilustre de Cristo; y encontraremos que todo en esta historia es típico o representativo. La esclavitud y la aflicción del pueblo de Israel pueden

Exodus 32:4 — hence we find him making proclamation, To-morrow is a feast to the LORD, (יהוה); and we find farther that some of the proper rites of the true worship were observed on this occasion, for they brought burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, Exodus 32:6-7: hence it is evident he intended that the true God should be the object of their worship, though he permitted and even encouraged them to offer this worship through an idolatrous medium, the molten calf. It has been supposed that this was an exact resemblance

Exodus 4:10 — Scriptures. So Job 11:2, איש שפתים ish sephathayim, a man of lips, signifies one that is talkative. Psalms 140:11, איש לשון ish lashon, a man of tongue, signifies a prattler. But how could it be said that Moses was not eloquent, when St. Stephen asserts, Acts 7:22, that he was mighty in words as well as in deeds? There are three ways of solving this difficulty:1. Moses might have had some natural infirmity, of a late standing, which at that time rendered it impossible for him to speak readily, and which he

Exodus 4:21 — lo colocan al final de la mayoría de los libros de la Biblia como una exhortación al lector a tener coraje , y proceder con su lectura y con la obediencia que se requiere. Constituye una parte esencial de la exhortación de Dios a Josué, Josué 1:7: Solo sé tú FUERTE, רק חזק rak chazak . Y de la exhortación agonizante de Josué al pueblo, Josué 23:6: Se, pues, MUY VALIENTE, וחזקתם vachazaktem, mantener y hacer todo lo que está escrito en el libro de la ley . Ahora bien, sería muy extraño

Exodus 9:1 — next day this pestilence, which was the fifth plague, is sent, and all the cattle of the Egyptians die, 5, 6. Though Pharaoh finds that not one of the cattle of the Israelites had died, yet, through hardness of heart, he refuses to let the people go, 7. Moses and Aaron are commanded to sprinkle handfuls of ashes from the furnace, that the sixth plague, that of boils and blains, might come on man and beast, 5, 9; which having done, the plague takes place, 10.

2 Kings 10:1 — their master's sons, and put him on the throne; to which they return a submissive answer, 1-6. He writes a second letter, and orders them to send him the heads of Ahab's seventy sons; they do so, and they are laid in two heaps at the gate of Jezreel, 7, 8.

He also destroys forty-two men, the brethren of Ahaziah,

Job 28:7 — Verse Job 28:7. There is a path which no fowl knoweth — The instinct of birds is most surprising. They traverse vast forests, c., in search of food, at a great distance from the place which they have chosen for their general residence and return in all weathers,

Job 9:35 — Job dará la diferencia de las longitudes; y determinar sus posiciones entonces, con respecto a los puntos primaverales y otoñales de intersección del equinoccial y la eclíptica; según el ritmo habitual de la precesión de los equinoccios , un grado en 71 años.

God fills them with terror, 5; reproaches them for their oppression of the poor, 6. The psalmist prays for the restoration of Israel, 7. NOTES ON PSALM XIVThere is nothing particular in the title; only it is probable that the word לדוד ledavid, of David, is improperly prefixed, as it is sufficiently evident, from the construction of the Psalm, that it speaks of the Babylonish captivity.

Psalms 19:7 — Verse Psalms 19:7. The law of the Lord — And here are two books of Divine Revelation:1. The visible HEAVENS, and the works of creation in general.2. The BIBLE, or Divinely inspired writings contained in the Old and New Testaments.These may all be called the LAW

Psalms 39:13 — poder) es del todo vanidad". Sus trabajos prometen mucho, realizan poco. 5. Es inestable e incierto, como una sombra. "Ciertamente, todo hombre camina en una sombra vana". 6. Está lleno de problemas e inquietudes: "Ciertamente, se inquietan en vano". 7. El hombre trabaja para no sabe quién: "Amontona riquezas y no sabe quién las recogerá". A pesar de todo esto, encuentra que incluso aquí Dios es una Porción suficiente para los que confían en él. Que otros se afanen por las riquezas; que admiren las

Deuteronomy 33:6 — usual," says Mr. Ainsworth, "in the Scripture, to set down things of importance and earnestness, by affirmation of the one part, and denial of the other Isaiah 38:1: Thou shalt die, and not live; Numbers 4:19: That they may live, and not die; Psalms 118:17: I shall not die, but live; Genesis 43:8: That we may live, and not die; Jeremiah 20:14: Cursed be the day - let not that day be blessed; 1 John 2:4: He is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 1 John 2:27: Is truth, and no lie; John 1:20: He confessed,

Joshua 3:16 — from the city Adam - beside Zaretan — Where these places were it is difficult to say. The city Adam is wholly unknown. From 1 Kings 4:12 we learn that Zartanah was below Jezreel near Bethshean, or Scythopolis, and not far from Succoth, 1 Kings 7:46. And it appears from Genesis 33:17, Joshua 13:27, that Succoth lay on the east side of Jordan, not far from the lake of Gennesareth; and probably Adam was on the same side to the north of Succoth. It is probable that the Israelites crossed the Jordan

2 Samuel 23:21 — (pedibus repente subductis arietavit in terram.) He then put his foot on his neck, drew out his sword, and lifting up his club, was about to dash out the brains of the overthrown champion, had he not been prevented by the king." - Q.
