Exodus 10:1 — CHAPTER X Moses is again sent to Pharaoh, and expostulates with him on his refusal to let the Hebrews go, 1-3. The eighth plague, viz., of locusts, is threatened, 4. The extent and oppressive nature of this plague, 5, 6. Pharaoh's servants counsel him to dismiss the Hebrews, 7. He calls for Moses and Aaron, and inquires who they are of the Hebrews who wish

Exodus 24:18 — Verse Exodus 24:18. Forty days and forty nights. — During the whole of this time he neither ate bread nor drank water; see Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomy 9:9. Both his body and soul were so sustained by the invigorating presence of God, that he needed no earthly support, and this may be the simple reason why he took none. Elijah fasted forty days and forty nights, sustained by the same

Exodus 25:17 — presence. At each end of this propitiatory was a cherub, between whom this glory was manifested; hence in Scripture it is so often said that he dwelleth between the cherubim. As the word ιλαστηριον, propitiatory or mercy-seat, is applied to Christ, Romans 3:25, whom God hath set forth to be a PROPITIATION (ιλαστηριον) through faith in his blood-for the remission of sins that are past; hence we learn that Christ was the true mercy-seat, the thing signified by the capporeth, to the ancient believers. And

Exodus 27:3 — Verse Exodus 27:3. Thou shalt make his pans — סירתיו sirothaiv, a sort or large brazen dishes, which stood under the altar to receive the ashes that fell through the grating.His shovels — יעיו yaaiv. Some render this besoms; but as these were brazen instruments,

Exodus 3:8 — Verse Exodus 3:8. And I am come down to deliver them — This is the very purpose for which I am now come down upon this mountain, and for which I manifest myself to thee.Large - land — Canaan, when compared with the small tract of Goshen, in which they

Exodus 8:1 — CHAPTER VIII The plague of frogs threatened, 1, 2. The extent of this plague, 3, 4. Aaron commanded to stretch out his hand, with the rod, over the river and waters of Egypt, in consequence of which the frogs came, 5, 6. The magicians imitate this miracle, 7. Pharaoh entreats Moses to remove the frogs, and promises to let the people

1 Kings 17:24 — palabra del Señor en tu boca es verdad. Tres grandes efectos fueron producidos por esta aflicción temporal: 1. La mujer fue guiada a examinar su corazón y probar sus caminos; 2. El poder de Dios se hizo sumamente manifiesto en la resurrección del niño; 3. Estaba convencida de que la palabra del Señor era verdad, y que ni una sola sílaba podía caer por tierra. Con un poco de sufrimiento se obtuvo todo este bien. EL tema del cuarto versículo de este capítulo merece una consideración más particular. He

Psalms 19:3 — Versículo Salmo 19:3 . No hay habla ni lengua donde no se escuche su voz . Si se omiten los improperios, que pervierten el sentido, lo que queda es una traducción tolerable del original: - אין אמר ואין דברים בלי נשמע קולם Ein omer veein debarim, beli nishma kolam. "Sin

Leviticus 1:1 — THE THIRD BOOK OF MOSES CALLED LEVITICUS -Year before the common Year of Christ, 1490. -Julian Period, 3224. -Cycle of the Sun, 27. -Dominical Letter, D. -Cycle of the Moon, 9. -Indiction, 6. -Creation from Tisri or September, 2514. CHAPTER I The Lord calls to Moses out of the tabernacle, and gives him directions concerning burnt-offerings of the beeve

Leviticus 1:4 — Verse Leviticus 1:4. He shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering — By the imposition of hands the person bringing the victim acknowledged,1. The sacrifice as his own.2. That he offered it as an atonement for his sins.3. That he was worthy of death because he had sinned, having forfeited his life by breaking the law.4. That he entreated God to accept the life of the innocent animal in place of his own.5. And all this, to be done profitably, must have respect to HIM

Leviticus 26:1 — CHAPTER XXVI Idolatry forbidden, 1. The Saobath to be sanctified, 2, 3. Promises to obedience, of fruitful fields, plentiful harvests, and vintage, 4, 5. Of peace and security, 6.

Leviticus 27:2 — regulate the value accordingly; and the money shall be put into his hands for the service of the sanctuary. A vow (says Mr. Ainsworth) is a religious promise made unto the Lord, and for the most part with prayer, and paid with thanksgiving, Numbers 21:2-3; Psalms 66:12; Psalms 66:14. Vows were either of abstinence, such as are spoken of Numbers 30:1-2, and the vow of the Nazarite, Numbers 6:1-21; or they were to give something to the Lord, as sacrifices, Leviticus 7:16, or the value of persons, beasts,

Numbers 33:55 — Versículo Números 33:55 . Serán aguijones en vuestros ojos. Bajo estas metáforas, se expone de manera muy expresiva el daño continuo que se les debe hacer, tanto en el alma como en el cuerpo, por parte de estos idólatras. ¿Qué puede ser más fastidioso que un continuo aguijoneo

Numbers 6:2 — our Lord but neither analogy nor proof can be produced. Our blessed Lord both drank wine and touched the dead, which no Nazarite would do: as to his either shaving his hair or letting it grow, we know nothing. His being called a Nazarene, Matthew 2:23, is nothing to the purpose, as it can mean no more than either that he was an inhabitant of Nazareth, which was a place of no credit, and therefore used as a term of reproach; or that he was in a general sense consecrated to the service of God-so were

Deuteronomy 27:26 — copia impresa del texto hebreo; pero el Samaritano la conserva, y lo mismo hacen seis MSS. en las colecciones de Kennicott y De Rossi, además de varias copias del Targum caldeo. La Septuaginta también, y San Pablo en su cita de este lugar, Gálatas 3:10 . San Jerónimo dice que los judíos suprimieron la palabra, para que no pareciera que estaban obligados a cumplir TODOS los preceptos de la ley de Moisés. 1. El Dr. KENNICOTT, que sostiene que fue el Decálogo el que se escribió en las piedras mencionadas

Romans 4:25 — resurrection of mankind.1. FROM a careful examination of the Divine oracles it appears that the death of Christ was an atonement or expiation for the sin of the world: For him hath God set forth to be a PROPITIATION through FAITH in HIS BLOOD, Romans 3:25. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ DIED FOR the UNGODLY, Romans 5:6. And when we were ENEMIES, we were RECONCILED to God by the DEATH of his Son, Romans 5:10. In whom we have REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, the FORGIVENESS of

Romans 4:25 — primicias de la resurrección de la humanidad. 1. DE un examen cuidadoso de los oráculos divinos, parece que la muerte de Cristo fue una expiación por el pecado del mundo: Dios ha puesto a éste en PROPICIACIÓN por medio de la FE en SU SANGRE, Romanos 3:25 . Porque Cristo, cuando aún éramos débiles, a su tiempo MURIÓ POR LOS IMPÍOS, Romanos 5:6 . Y cuando éramos ENEMIGOS, fuimos RECONCILIADOS con Dios por la MUERTE de su Hijo , Romanos 5:10 en quien tenemos REDENCIÓN POR SU SANGRE, el PERDÓN de los

Hebrews 5:12 — Ye have need that one teach you a second time (παλιν) certain elements of the doctrines of Christ, or oracles of God; i.e. the notices which the prophets gave concerning the priesthood of Jesus Christ, such as are found in Psa. 110:, and in Isaiah 53:0: By the oracles of God the writings of the Old Testament, are undoubtedly meant.And are become such — The words seem to intimate that they had once been better instructed, and had now forgotten that teaching; and this was occasioned by their

Hebrews 5:12 — Tenéis necesidad de que se os enseñen por segunda vez (παλιν) ciertos elementos de las doctrinas de Cristo, u oráculos de Dios; es decir, los avisos que los profetas dieron sobre el sacerdocio de Jesucristo, como los que se encuentran en el  Isaías 53 : Por los oráculos de Dios se entienden sin duda los escritos del Antiguo Testamento. Y se han convertido en tales... Las palabras parecen dar a entender que una vez habían sido mejor instruidos, y que ahora habían olvidado esa enseñanza; y esto fue

1 Samuel 4:17 — fue muy disputado, treinta mil fueron sepultados muertos en el lugar. Esta fue una causa de angustia más profunda que la anterior; como si hubiera dicho: "La flor de nuestros ejércitos está destruida; apenas un veterano ahora para tomar el campo". 3. También han muerto tus dos hijos, Ofni y Finees . Esto fue aún más aflictivo para él como padre, perder a sus dos hijos, la única esperanza de la familia; y que se los llevara una muerte violenta cuando había tan pocas perspectivas de que murieran
