Genesis 16:7 — 19:10; Genesis 22:9.3. Moses, who relates the transaction, calls this angel expressly JEHOVAH; for, says he, she called שם יהוה shem Yehovah, the NAME of the LORD that spake to her, Genesis 16:13. Now this is a name never given to any created being.4. This person, who is here called מלאך היוה malach Yehovah, the Angel of the Lord, is the same who is called המלאך הגאל hammalach haggoel, the redeeming Angel or the Angel the Redeemer, Genesis 48:16; מלאך פניו malach panaiv, the Angel of God's presence,
Genesis 19:1 — Sodom, 1. Lot, who was sitting at the gate, invites them to enter his house, take some refreshment, and tarry all night; which they at first refuse, 2; but on being pressingly solicited, they at last comply, 3. The abominable conduct of the men of Sodom, 4, 5. Lot's deep concern for the honour and safely of his guests, which leads him to make a most exceptionable proposal to those wicked men, 6-8. The violent proceedings of the Sodomites, 9. Lot rescued from their barbarity by the angels, who smite them
Genesis 24:1 — CHAPTER XXIV Abraham, being solicitous to get his son Isaac property married, calls his confidential servant, probably Eliezer, and makes him swear that he will not take a wife for Isaac from among the Canaanites, 1-3, but from among his own kindred, 4. The servant proposes certain difficulties, 5, which Abraham removes by giving him the strongest assurances of God's direction in the business, 6, 7, and then specifies the conditions of the oath, 8. The form of the oath itself, 9. The servant makes
Genesis 41:6 — Verse Genesis 41:6. Blasted with the east wind — It has been very properly observed that all the mischief done to corn or fruit, by blasting, smutting, mildews, locusts, c., is attributed to the east wind. See Exodus 10:13; Exodus 14:21; Psalms 78:26; Ezekiel
Genesis 5:32 — to be accounted for. When the Scriptures design to mark precedency, though the subject be a younger son or brother, he is always mentioned first; so Jacob is named before Esau, his elder brother, and Ephraim before Manasses. See Genesis 28:5; Genesis 48:20.AMONG many important things presented to our view in this chapter, several of which have been already noticed, we may observe that, of all the antediluvian patriarchs, Enoch, who was probably the best man, was the shortest time upon earth; his years
Psalms 104:2 — Versículo Salmo 104:2 . Quien te cubre de luz.  Luz, insufrible esplendor, es el manto de la Divina Majestad. La luz y el fuego son generalmente los acompañantes del Ser Supremo, cuando manifiesta su presencia a sus criaturas. Así se apareció a Abraham cuando hizo un pacto
Psalms 119:32 — Vuelve a su confesión y declara lo que se propone hacer . 1. "Mi alma se derrite:" Estoy lleno de problemas y angustias. 2. "Fortaléceme:" Dame la gracia que has prometido. 3. "Quita de mí el camino de la mentira:" Dame poder para evitar todo pecado. 4. "Concédeme tu ley con misericordia:" Imprime la materia en mi corazón, y elimina mi corrupción. 5. Elige la verdad . 6. Se adhiere a ella. 7. Él continuará en él. 8. Sí, y con mayor diligencia que nunca. Para recuperar el tiempo perdido, ahora correrá
Ecclesiastes 4:15 — nación, cuando llegara al trono. El padre, viendo el deseo popular, y sintiendo celos de su hijo, lo encerró en prisión. En el ínterin, el viejo rey muere o es depuesto, y el hijo es sacado de la cárcel y colocado en el trono. Entonces ( Eclesiastés 4:15 ) multitudes del pueblo acuden a él, y comienzan a caminar bajo el sol; es decir, el estado próspero al que la nación es elevada por su redención de la tiranía anterior. Sin embargo, el sabio insinúa que este sol no durará mucho. El joven rey, sintiendo
Isaiah 16:1 — terribles calamidades a punto de caer sobre Moab más lejos descrito por el languidecimiento de la vid, el cese de la vendimia, el sonido de las entrañas del profeta temblando como un arpa,  7-13. Terrible cercanía del pleno cumplimiento de la profecía , 14. NOTAS SOBRE EL CAP. XVI Versículo Isaías 16:1 . Enviad el cordero. - "Enviaré al hijo". Tanto la lectura como el significado de este versículo son aún más dudosos que los del anterior. La Septuaginta y el siríaco dicen אשלח eshlach, enviaré , en primera
Isaiah 22:25 — tesoro de la casa del Señor , Isaías 22:19 , y la investidura de Eliaquim con su manto, cinto, oficio y gobierno , Isaías 22:20 , probablemente señalan el cambio del sacerdocio judío y la proclamación del inmutable sacerdocio de Cristo. Véase Salmo 110:4 . Eliaquim significa "La resurrección del Señor o, Dios mío, él se levantará" . Hilquias significa "El Señor mi porción o lote" . La llave de David, que cierra y abre ,  puede indicar el camino de la salvación solo a través de Cristo. Porque la esperanza
Isaiah 23:1 — ciento veinte años antes de su cumplimiento,  en una época en que los tirios gozaban de gran prosperidad y  los babilonios estaban sometidos al imperio asirio. y, por consiguiente,  un acontecimiento de tan gran magnitud era improbable en grado sumo, 1-14. Tiro recobrará su esplendor a la terminación de setenta años, los días de UN rey, o reino, por lo que debe entenderse de la duración del imperio babilónico, pues de otro modo la profecía  no puede haber  acontecimiento, 15-17. Supuesta referencia a
Isaiah 23:15 — jonios, y probablemente por eso podrían ser restaurados a sus antiguas libertades y privilegios. Pero creo que la primera es la interpretación más probable. - L Canta como una ramera ] Fidicinam esse meretricum est, dice Donatus en Terent. Eunuco. iii. 2, 4. Nec meretrix tibicina, cujus Ad strepitum salias. HOR. I. Epístola. xiv. 25 "Ni juglar ramera canta, cuando el rudo sonido te tienta con pesados tacones a golpear el suelo". FRANCISCO. Sir John Chardin, en su nota MS. sobre este lugar, dice: - C'est
Isaiah 3:6 — οικειου tiene οικου. Y, su hermano, de la casa de su padre, es poco mejor que una tautología. El caso parece requerir que el hombre se aplique a una persona de algún tipo de rango y eminencia; uno que era el jefe de la casa de su padre,  (ver Josué 12:14 ), ya sea de la casa del que se aplica a él, o de cualquier otro; ראש בית אביו rosh beith abaiu, el jefe, o cabeza de la casa de su padre. No puedo evitar sospechar, por tanto, que la palabra ראש rosh, cabeza, jefe, se ha perdido fuera del texto. Diciendo.
Isaiah 8:20 — oscuridad; de nube y de espeso vapor; como la oscuridad se extiende sobre las montañas: un pueblo poderoso y numeroso". Donde la penumbra , שחר shachar, parece ser lo mismo con la nube y el espeso vapor mencionado en la línea anterior. Véase Lamentaciones 4:8 y Job 30:30 . Véase este significado de la palabra שחר shachar bien apoyado en Christ. Muller. Sat. Observat. Phil. p. 53, Lugd. Bat. 1752. La mañana parece haber sido una idea totalmente incongruente en el pasaje de Joel; y en este de Isaías las
Colossians 3:16 — abundantly, among them. But there appears to be here an allusion to the Shechinah, or symbol of the Divine presence, which dwelt in the tabernacle and first temple; and to an opinion common among the Jews, which is thus expressed in Melchita, fol. 38, 4: כל מקום שהתורה שם שבינה שם עמה; In whatever place the LAW is, there the SHECHINAH is present with it. Nor is this a vain supposition; wherever God's word is seriously read, heard, or preached, there is God himself; and in that Church or religious society
1 Timothy 4:1 — Exhortations to Timothy to teach the truth, 6. To avoid old wives' fables; to exercise himself to godliness, 7, 8. To labour, command, and teach, 9, 10, 11. To act so that none might despise his youth, 12. To give attendance to reading and preaching, 13, 14. To give up himself wholly to the Divine work, 15. And so doing he should both save himself and them that heard him, 16. NOTES ON CHAP. IV.Verse 1 Timothy 4:1. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly — Ῥητως· Manifestly, openly. It is very likely that
Hebrews 1:2 — apostle begins with the lowest state in which Christ has appeared:1. His being a SON, born of a woman, and made under the law. He then ascends,2. So his being an Heir, and an Heir of all things. 3. He then describes him as the Creator of all worlds.4. As the Brightness of the Divine glory. 5. As the express Image of his person, or character of the Divine substance. 6. As sustaining the immense fabric of the universe; and this by the word of his power. 7. As having made an atonement for the sin of
Hebrews 12:16 — profane person from the fornicator. And Esau is here termed profane, because he so far disregarded the spiritual advantages connected with his rights of primogeniture, that he alienated the whole for a single mess of pottage. See the note on "Genesis 25:34". The word βεβηλος, which we translate profane, is compounded of βε, which in composition has a negative signification, and βηλος, the threshold of a temple or sacred edifice; and was applied to those who were not initiated into the sacred mysteries,
Hebrews 9:4 — Verse Hebrews 9:4. Which had the golden censer — It is evident that the apostle speaks here of the tabernacle built by Moses, and of the state and contents of that tabernacle as they were during the lifetime of Moses. For, as Calmet remarks, in the temple which
1 Peter 4:1 — of God, and even the righteous would escape with difficulty from the calamities coming upon the Jews; but they must continue in well-doing, and thus commit the keeping of their souls to their faithful Creator, 17-19. NOTES ON CHAP. IV.Verse 1 Peter 4:1. As Christ hath suffered — He is your proper pattern; have the same disposition he had; the same forgiving spirit, with meekness, gentleness, and complete self-possession.He that hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from sin — This
