Genesis 7:11 — Verse Genesis 7:11. In the six hundredth year, c. — This must have been in the beginning of the six hundredth year of his life for he was a year in the ark, Genesis 8:13; and lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood, and died nine hundred and fifty

Exodus 19:24 — mercy saw it right to give them line upon line, that they might not transgress to their own destruction.FROM the very solemn and awful manner in which the LAW was introduced, we may behold it as the ministration of terror and death, 2 Corinthians 3:7, appearing rather to exclude men from God than to bring them nigh; and from this we may learn that an approach to God would have been for ever impossible, had not infinite mercy found out the Gospel scheme of salvation. By this, and this alone, we draw

Exodus 29:7 — Verse Exodus 29:7. Then shalt thou take the anointing oil — It appears, from Isaiah 61:1, that anointing with oil, in consecrating a person to any important office, whether civil or religious, was considered as an emblem of the communication of the gifts and graces

Exodus 30:13 — of the soul; all had sinned, and all must be redeemed by the same price.6. This atonement must be made that there might be no plague among them, intimating that a plague or curse from God must light on those souls for whom the atonement was not made.7. This was to be a memorial unto the children of Israel, Exodus 30:16, to bring to their remembrance their past deliverance, and to keep in view their future redemption.8. St. Peter seems to allude to this, and to intimate that this mode of atonement

2 Kings 13:20 — honoured in thy wondrous deeds! and who may glory like unto thee!5. Who didst raise up a dead man from death, and his soul from the place of the dead, by the word of the Most High:6. Who broughtest kings to destruction, and honourable men from their bed:7. Who heardest the rebuke of the Lord in Sinai, and in Horeb the judgment of vengeance:8. Who anointedst kings to take revenge, and prophets to succeed after him:9. Who wast taken up in a whirlwind of fire, and in a chariot of fiery horses:10. Who wast

Una protesta de su propia inocencia, que ofrece al juicio de Dios, Salmo 139:23-19 . I. Comienza con la omnisciencia de Dios: "Oh Señor, tú me has examinado"... Me examinó

Leviticus 16:2 — without the deepest reverence and due preparation.That it may appear that the grand subject of this chapter, the ordinance of the scape-goat, typified the death and resurrection of Christ, and the atonement thereby made, I beg leave to refer to Hebrews 9:7-12, and Hebrews 9:24-26, which I shall here transcribe, because it is a key to the whole of this chapter. "Into the second [tabernacle] went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of

Leviticus 16:7 — Verse Leviticus 16:7. And he shall take the two goats — It is allowed on all hands that this ceremony, taken in all its parts, pointed out the Lord Jesus dying for our sins and rising again for our justification; being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the

Daniel 5:1 — en  samaritano o en los caracteres samaritanos o hebreos antiguos, con los cuales los sabios de Babilonia muy probablemente no estaban familiarizados, ya que los Judios eran en ese momento un pueblo despreciado, y el conocimiento de su lengua no estaba de moda, 7-9. Daniel, que había sido tan altamente estimado por Nabucodonosor por su sabiduría superior, parece haber sido totalmente desconocido para Belsasar, hasta que la reina (la misma que había sido esposa de de Nabucodonosor según la opinión general, o

Numbers 11:1 — The people complain, the Lord is displeased, and many of them are consumed by fire, 1. Moses intercedes for them, and the fire is quenched, 2. The place is called Taberah, 3. The mixed multitude long for flesh, and murmur, 4-6. The manna described, 7-9. The people weep in their tents, and the Lord is displeased, 10.

Matthew 1:23 — Versículo Mateo 1:23 . He aquí, una virgen concebirá.  Ya hemos visto, en el versículo anterior, que esta profecía está tomada de Isaías 7:14 ; pero puede ser necesario considerar las circunstancias de la promesa original más particularmente. En el tiempo referido, el reino de Judá, bajo el gobierno de Acaz, estaba muy reducido. Pekah , rey de Israel, había matado en Judea a 120.000 personas

Matthew 24:7 — Verso Mateo 24:7. Nación se levantará contra nación...  Esto presagiaba las disensiones, insurrecciones y matanzas mutuas de los judíos y los de otras naciones, que vivían juntos en las mismas ciudades; como particularmente en Cesarea, donde los judíos y los sirios

Romans 11:1 — lo hubo en los días del Profeta Elías, 1-5. Estos han abrazado el Evangelio, y son salvados por la gracia, y no por las obras de la ley, 6. El cuerpo de los israelitas, habiendo rechazado esto, están cegados, según la declaración profética de David, 7-10. Pero no han tropezado para ser rechazados definitivamente, sino que por su caída, la salvación llegó a los gentiles, 11-14.
