Bible Commentaries

Genesis 21:33 — planted an oak in Beer-sheba, and called on the name of Jehovah, the everlasting God, (compare Genesis 12:8; Genesis 18:1), so we find that oaks were sacred among the idolaters also. Ye shall be ashamed of the OAKS ye have chosen, says Isaiah, Isaiah 1:29, to the idolatrous Israelites. And in Greece we meet in very early times with the oracle of Jupiter at the oaks of Dodona. Among the Greeks and Romans we have sacra Jovi quercus, the oak sacred to Jupiter, even to a proverb. And in Gaul and Britain

Genesis 21:33 — Beer-seba e invocó el nombre de Jehová, el Dios eterno, (compare Génesis 12:8; Génesis 18:1), por lo que encontramos que robles también eran sagrados entre los idólatras. Vos se avergonzarán de los ROBLE que habéis elegido , dice Isaías, Isaías 1:29, a los israelitas idólatras. Y en Grecia nos encontramos en tiempos muy tempranos con el oráculo de Júpiter en los robles de Dodona. Entre los griegos y romanos tenemos sacra Jovi quercus , el roble sagrado para Júpiter, incluso para un proverbio.

Exodus 12:51 — demostración del poder y la providencia de Dios al apoyar a una multitud tan grande donde, humanamente hablando, no había provisión, y la prueba que el éxodo de los israelitas da la verdad de la historia mosaica, se le remite a Éxodo 12:37, Éxodo 12:49, Éxodo 12:37 . . Y para el significado del término LEY, a  Éxodo 12:49 Sobre las diez plagas puede que sea necesario, después de lo dicho en las notas, hacer algunas reflexiones generales. Cuando se considera la naturaleza de la idolatría egipcia y

1 Kings 20:43 — and destructive. I shall give a few instances from the Scripture: -We read in Job 27:21: The east wind carrieth him away; where the word קדים kadim is καυσων, burning, in the Septuagint; and in the Vulgate, ventus urens, a burning wind. In Ezekiel 19:12: She was plucked up בחמה she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit; her strong rods were withered, and the fire consumed them. Hosea (Hosea 13:15) mentions the desolation brought by an east wind, the wind of the Lord.

1 Kings 20:43 — eminentemente explosivo y destructivo. Daré algunos ejemplos de la Escritura: - Leemos en Job 27:21 : El solano lo lleva ; donde la palabra קדים kadim es καυσων, ardiente , en la Septuaginta ; y en la Vulgata, ventus urens, un viento ardiente . En Ezequiel 19:12 : Fue arrancada בחמה fue arrojada a tierra, y el viento solano secó su fruto; sus fuertes varas se secaron, y el fuego las consumió . Oseas ( Oseas 13:15 ) menciona la desolación traída por un viento del este, el viento del Señor . Lo que en Amós

2 Kings 20:20 — el aire, la tierra o el mar. Que los rayos de luz pueden ser refractados sobrenaturalmente, y que el sol parece estar donde en realidad no está, tenemos un ejemplo muy notable en Kepler. Algunos holandeses, que invernaron en Nova Zembla en el año 1596, se sorprendieron al encontrar que después de una noche continua de tres meses, el sol comenzó a salir diecisiete días antes de lo que debería haber hecho (según el cálculo deducido de la altitud del polo, que se observó que era de setenta y seis grados);

Nehemiah 1:1 — cuyo sistema de cronología es el más aceptado, 3558. -Año anterior al nacimiento de Cristo, 442. -Año anterior a la era vulgar de la natividad de Cristo, 446. -Año del período juliano, 4268. -Año desde el diluvio de Noé, según la Biblia en inglés, 1902. -Año del Cali Yuga, o era india del Diluvio, 2656. -Año de la vocación de Abram, 1476. -Año desde la destrucción de Troya, 739. -Esto lo recopilamos de tres pasajes de Dionisio de Halicarnaso, (que floreció en la época de Augusto), que afirman que

Psalms 105:45 — my prophets no harm," i.e., the same men, for they were prophets. Abraham foresaw the bondage of his seed in Egypt; Isaac foretold what should befall Esau's posterity, Genesis 27:38-40; and Jacob, by a prophetical spirit, gave his blessings, Genesis 49:1-28. Of Abraham it is expressly said, "He is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee," Genesis 20:7.Two of these mercies, the covenant and protection, are already named; and now he goes on and insists upon the third, Psalms 105:16-23, for which there

Psalms 90:17 — Verse Psalms 90:17. And let the beauty of the Lord — Let us have thy presence, blessing, and approbation, as our fathers had.Establish thou the work of our hands — This is supposed, we have already seen, to relate to their rebuilding the temple, which

Psalms 90:17 — Versículo Salmo 90:17 . Y deja que la hermosura del Señor. Tengamos tu presencia, bendición y aprobación , como la tuvieron nuestros padres. Establece la obra de nuestras manos. Esto se supone, ya lo hemos visto, relacionado con la reconstrucción del templo , que los

Jeremiah overview — which had been appointed for the use of the priests, the descendants of Aaron, Jos 21:18. He was called to the prophetic office when very young; probably when he was fourteen years of age, and in the thirteenth of the reign of Josiah, A.M. 3375, b.c. 629. He continued to prophesy till after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans, which took place A.M. 3416; and it is supposed that about two years after he died in Egypt. Thus it appears that he discharged the arduous duties of the prophetic office

John 21:25 — the words and actions of such a life as our Lord's was could be contained in the compass of one or all of these Gospels.There is a hyperbole very like this, taken from the Jewish writers, and inserted by BASNAGE, Hist. des Juifs, liv. iii. c. 1, s. 9. "Jochanan succeeded Simeon - he attained the age of Moses - he employed forty years in commerce, and in pleading before the Sanhedrin. He composed such a great number of precepts and lessons, that if the heavens were paper, and all the trees of the

Acts overview — possessed the gift of miraculous healing. Though there can be no doubt that he was with St. Paul when shipwrecked at Malta, yet he was not concerned in healing the father of Publius the governor; nor of the other sick persons mentioned Acts 28:8, Acts 28:9. These were all healed by the prayers of St. Paul, and the imposition of his hands, and consequently miraculously; nor do we find any evidence that St. Luke was ever employed in this way. This is another proof of the wisdom of God: had the physician

Romans 8:39 — Verse Romans 8:39. Nor height - of honour, nor depth - of ignominy, nor any other creature, ουτε τις κτισις ετερα, (nor any other thing whatever,) shall be able to separate us, who love God, from the love of God, which he has vouchsafed to us in Christ Jesus. See Whitby.

Romans 8:39 — Versículo Romanos 8:39 . Ni la altura - de la honra, ni la profundidad - de la ignominia, ni ninguna otra criatura, ουτε τις κτισις ετερα, (ni ninguna otra cosa,) podrá separarnos, a los que amamos a Dios, del amor de Dios, que nos ha concedido en Cristo Jesús. Véase Whitby.

1 Corinthians 7:40 — daughter of Thurkill, from Goda, widow of Leafenath, with half a pound. With the testimony of the whole convent. May Christ strike him blind Who this writing perverts. And he has dedicated her to Christ and St. Peter, in behalf of his mother's soul."9. When a man was made free, it was either in the church or at some public meeting: the sheriff of the county took him by the right hand and proclaimed him a freeman, and showed him the open door and the public highway, intimating that he was free to

1 Corinthians 7:40 — compró a Gunnilda, hija de Thurkill, a Goda, viuda de Leafenath, con media libra. Con el testimonio de todo el convento. Que Cristo lo deje ciego a quien este escrito pervierte. Y la ha dedicado a Cristo y a San Pedro, en nombre del alma de su madre". 9. Cuando un hombre era liberado, era en la iglesia o en alguna reunión pública: el alguacil del condado lo tomaba de la mano derecha y lo proclamaba hombre libre, y le mostraba la puerta abierta y la vía pública, dando a entender que era libre de ir

Galatians 6:18 — meaning of the inspired writers, and with simplicity of heart, and purity of conscience, to lay that meaning before mankind.The Israelites were denominated a peculiar treasure unto God, above all people; a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation, Exodus 19:5-6. A holy people whom he had chosen to be a special people unto himself, above all the people who were upon the face of the earth, Deuteronomy 7:6. This was their calling, this was their profession, and this was their denomination; but how far they

Galatians 6:18 — inspirados, y con sencillez de corazón, y pureza de conciencia, exponer ese significado ante la humanidad.   Los israelitas fueron denominados un tesoro especial para Dios, por encima de todos los pueblos; un reino de sacerdotes y una nación santa , Éxodo 19:5-2 . Un pueblo santo a quien él había escogido para ser un pueblo especial para sí mismo, sobre todos los pueblos que estaban sobre la faz de la tierra , Deuteronomio 7:6 . Este era su llamado , esta era su profesión , y esta era su denominación

Jude overview — was written after the Second Epistle of Peter; but how many years after, whether between 64 and 66, as Lardner supposes, or between 70 and 75, as Beausobre and L'Enfant believe; or, according to Dodwell and Cave, in 71 or 72, or so late as the year 90, as is the opinion of Mill, I confess I am unable to determine, at least from any certain data. The expression, 'in the last time,' which occurs Jude 1:18, as well as in 2 Peter 3:3, is too indeterminate to warrant any conclusion respecting the date
