Psalms 106:48 — usurped a power over them, and taken it upon his own head.2. "And Aaron, the saint of the Lord." He whom God had chosen, anointed, and sanctified to the priest's office.The punishment follows, Numbers 16:32; Numbers 16:35; Numbers 16:41; Numbers 16:49.1.

That is, the two hundred and fifty men that presumed to offer incense; and presently

Psalms 106:48 — pecado, particularmente de los israelitas, junto con la paciencia de Dios con ellos y su arrepentimiento, Salmo 106:6 . IV. Su oración para que Dios recoja su Iglesia de entre todas las naciones, para que puedan encontrarse y alabarle, Salmo 106:47-19 . I. "Alabad al Señor, dad gracias al Señor".

Psalms 89:52 — Versículo Salmo 89:52 . Bendito sea el Señor por los siglos de los siglos. Que nos trate como quiera, su nombre merece alabanzas eternas: nuestra aflicción, aunque grande, es menos de lo que hemos merecido. Este verso concluye el TERCER LIBRO del SALTERIO; y, creo, ha

Isaiah 66:24 — Verse Isaiah 66:24. For their worm shall not die — These words of the prophet are applied by our blessed Saviour, Mark 9:44, to express the everlasting punishment of the wicked in Gehenna, or in hell. Gehenna, or the valley of Hinnom, was very near to Jerusalem to the south-east: it was the place where the idolatrous Jews celebrated that horrible rite of making their

Isaiah 66:24 — Versículo Isaías 66:24 . Porque su gusano nunca morirá. Estas palabras del profeta son aplicadas por nuestro bendito Salvador, Marco 9:44 , para expresar el castigo eterno de los malvados en Gehena, o en el infierno. Gehenna, o el valle de Hinnom, estaba muy cerca de Jerusalén al sureste: era el lugar donde los judíos idólatras celebraban ese horrible rito de hacer pasar a sus hijos

Isaiah 7:15 — things when the prophecy was delivered."But all these objections are cut off, and a clear, coherent sense is given to this passage, by giving another sense to the particle ל le. which never occurred to me till I saw it in Harmer's Observat., vol. i., p. 299. See how coherent the words of the prophet run, with how natural a connection one clause follows another, by properly rendering this one particle: 'Behold this Virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and thou shalt call his name Immanuel; butter and

Luke 9:62 — Verse Luke 9:62. Put his hand to the plough — Can any person properly discharge the work of the ministry who is engaged in secular employments? A farmer and a minister of the Gospel are incompatible characters. As a person who holds the plough cannot keep

Luke 9:62 — Verso Lucas 9:62. Ponga su mano en el arado...  ¿Puede una persona desempeñar adecuadamente la obra del ministerio si se dedica a empleos seculares? Un agricultor y un ministro del Evangelio son caracteres incompatibles. Como una persona que sostiene el arado no

Acts 1:26 — parchment, with the names of the persons inscribed on them, into an urn; and after prayer, sacrifice, c., to put in the hand and draw out one of the lots, and then the case was decided. I have considered this subject at large on Leviticus 16:8, Leviticus 16:9; and Joshua 14:2.He was numbered with the eleven apostles. — The word συγκατεψηφισθη, comes from συν, together with, κατα, according to, and ψηφος, a pebble or small stone, used for lots, and as a means of enumeration among the Greeks, Romans,

Acts 28:31 — Christianity cannot be false: for a doctrine so good in itself, and attended with so many miraculous and Divine testimonies, has an the possible masks of a true revelation."On St. PAUL'S character and conduct, see the observations at the end of Acts 9:43, where the subject is particularly considered.The book of the ACTS is not only a history of the Church, the most ancient and most impartial, as it is the most authentic extant, but it is also a history of God's grace and providence, The manner in

1 Timothy overview — following circumstance will show their opinion to be ill founded: -1. When the apostle went from Ephesus to Macedonia, as related Acts 20:1, Timothy was not in Ephesus, having gone from that city into Macedonia with Erastus by the apostle's direction; Acts 19:22. And in the First Epistle to the Corinthians, which was written after Timothy's departure from Ephesus, we are informed that he was to go from Macedonia to Corinth. 1 Corinthians 4:17 : "I have sent to you Timothy." 1 Corinthians 16:10, 1 Corinthians

Titus overview — where he intended to spend the winter, and where he had desired Titus to meet him. See above.Whether Titus ever left Crete we know not; nor how, nor where, he died. Some traditions, on which little dependence can be placed, say he lived till he was 94 years of age, and died and was buried in Crete. He appears to have been a young man when intrusted with the care of the Churches in this island. In such an extensive district, an aged or infirm man would have been of little service.Crete, where Titus

James 5:20 — and which should be rewarded; but they never insinuate that this would atone for sin. I shall produce a few examples: - In Synopsis Sohzar, p. 47, n. 17, it is said: Great is his excellence who persuades a sick person to turn from his sins.Ibid, p. 92, n. 18: Great is his reward who brings back the pious into the way of the blessed Lord.Yoma, fol. 87, 1: By his hands iniquity is not committed, who turns many to righteousness; i.e. God does not permit him to fall into sin. What is the reason? Ans.

James 5:20 — debía ser recompensada; pero nunca insinúan que esto expiaría el pecado. Produciré algunos ejemplos: - En Sinopsis Sohzar , p. 47, núm. 17, se dice: Grande es su excelencia quien persuade a una persona enferma a volverse de sus pecados . Ibíd ., pág. 92, núm. 18: Grande es su recompensa quien hace volver a los piadosos al camino del bendito Señor . Yoma , fol. 87, 1: Por sus manos no se comete iniquidad, el que vuelve a muchos a la justicia ; es decir, Dios no le permite caer en pecado. ¿Cuál es

1 Samuel 17:58 — with the corrupted Hebrew and therefore was probably translated, in this part, from some late Hebrew copy which had thus been interpolated; see pages 72, 75. Now that these two MSS. do contain different readings in some places, I observed in pages 398-404, and 414. And in this 17th chapter of Samuel, 1 Samuel 17:4, the Alexandrian MS. says, agreeably to the present Hebrew, that the height of Goliath was six cubits and a span, i.e., above eleven feet; but the Vatican MS., agreeably to Josephus, that
