Exodus 13:21 — COVERING; Psalms 105:39. And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, A CLOUD and SMOKE BY DAY, and the shining of a FLAMING FIRE by night; for upon all the glory shall be a DEFENCE, (or COVERING,) Isaiah 4:5; which words contain the most manifest allusion to the threefold office of the cloud in the wilderness. See Numbers 9:16-18, &c.
Exodus 19:17 — brought forth the people - to meet with God — For though they might not touch the mount till they had permission, yet when the trumpet sounded long, it appears they might come up to the nether part of the mount, (see Exodus 19:13, and Deuteronomy 4:11); and when the trumpet had ceased to sound, they might then go up unto the mountain, as to any other place.It was absolutely necessary that God should give the people at large some particular evidence of his being and power, that they might be saved
1 Kings 8:46 — Versículo 1 Reyes 8:46 . Si pecan contra ti.  Este SÉPTIMO caso debe referirse a alguna deserción general de la verdad, a alguna especie de culto falso, idolatría o corrupción de la verdad y de las ordenanzas del Altísimo; ya que por ello se dice aquí que fueron entregados
Esther 4:14 — Versículo Ester 4:14 . Entonces surgirá el ensanchamiento y la liberación.  Confiaba en que la liberación llegaría por algún medio; y pensaba que Ester sería el más probable; y que, si no utilizaba la influencia que le daba su posición providencial, sería muy culpable. Y
Job 26:5 — agua". Ninguna de ellas parece dar un sentido que permita determinar el verdadero significado. Probablemente se alude aquí a la destrucción de la tierra por el diluvio general. Moisés, hablando del estado de la tierra antes del diluvio, dice,  Génesis 6:4 ,  "Había gigantes נפלים nephilim, en la tierra en aquellos días". Ahora bien, es probable que Job quiera decir lo mismo con רפאים rephaim que Moisés con los nephilim; y que ambos se refieran a los antediluvianos, que fueron todos, por sus grandísimas
Job 28:4 — Versículo Job 28:4 .  La inundación se desprende del habitante. Este pasaje es muy difícil. Algunos piensan que se refiere a la minería; otros, a la navegación. Si se refiere a la primera, puede querer señalar las aguas que brotan cuando los mineros se han hundido a una
Psalms 16:11 — can I give, save τα σα εκ των σων, "thy own things from thy own property?" My goods or goodness, my beneficence or bounty, is nothing unto thee. Sacrifice thou needest not, Psalms 50:8, nor art delighted in them: but mercy thou requirest, Hosea 6:6.4. Then I will seek out thy receivers: "Thy saints that are in the earth." The family of the saints were the object of David's bounty, and his delight. But my liberality and charity shall extend to the saints that are in the earth, and unto such as are
Psalms 16:11 — lo mejor. Pero, ¿qué puedo dar, salvo τα σα εκ των σων, "tus propias cosas de tu propia propiedad?" Mis bienes o bondad, mi beneficencia o generosidad, no es nada para ti . Salmo 50:8 , ni te deleitas en ellos, sino en la misericordia, Oseas 6:6 . 4. Entonces buscaré a tus receptores : "Tus santos que están en la tierra". La familia de los santos era el objeto de la generosidad de David y su deleite. Pero mi generosidad y caridad se extenderán a los santos que están en la tierra , y a los que son
Psalms 62:1 — SALMO LXII David, ante un peligro inminente, acude a Dios en busca de ayuda y seguridad . 1, 2; señala los designios de sus adversarios , 3, 4; anima su alma a esperar en Dios , 5-8; muestra la vanidad de confiar en el hombre, y de confiar en las riquezas , 9, 10; y concluye afirmando que el poder y la misericordia pertenecen a Dios, y que dará a cada uno según sus obras , 11, 12 NOTAS SOBRE
Psalms 68:1 — PSALM LXVIII The psalmist calls upon God to arise, bless his people, and scatter his enemies, 1-3; exhorts them to praise him for has greatness, tenderness, compassion, and judgments, 4-6; describes the grandeur of his march when he went forth in the redemption of his people, 7, 8; how he dispensed his blessings, 9, 10; what he will still continue to do in their behalf, 11-13; the effects produced by the manifestation of God's majesty,
Leviticus 1:2 — of prey. In the pagan worship it was widely different; for although the ox was esteemed among them, according to Livy, as the major hostia; and according to Pliny, the victima optima, et laudatis sima deorum placatio, Plin. Hist. Nat., lib. viii., c. 45, "the chief sacrifice and the most availing offering which could be made to the gods;" yet obscene fowls and ravenous beasts, according to the nature of their deities, were frequently offered in sacrifice. Thus they sacrificed horses to the SUN, wolves
Ezekiel 48:35 — Versículo Ezequiel 48:35 . El nombre de la ciudad desde aquel día será "El Señor está allí". Hubiera sido mejor haber conservado las palabras originales: - יהוה שמה JEHOVÁ SHAMAH. Esta es una alusión a la shejiná , o símbolo de la Presencia Divina, que estaba en el primero
Numbers 12:14 — Verse Numbers 12:14. If her father had but spit in her face — This appears to have been done only in cases of great provocation on the part of the child, and strong irritation on the side of the parent. Spitting in the face was a sign of the deepest contempt. See
Numbers 16:1 — CHAPTER XVI The rebellion of Korah and his company against Moses, 1-3. He directs them how to try, in the course of the next day, whom God had called to the priesthood, 4-11. Dathan and Abiram use the most seditious speeches, 12-14. Moses is wroth, 15; and orders Korah and his company to be ready on the morrow with their censers and incense, 16-18. Korah gathers his company together, 19. The glory of the Lord appears,
Numbers 26:55 — Simeon his brother, Judges 1:3: "Come up with me into my lot." And as God was ever supposed to be the whole disposer in such matters, whatever fell out in the course of God's providence was called a lot. "This is the lot of them that rob us;" Isaiah 17:14. "Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter;" Acts 8:21. A lot in the promised land was evidently typical of a place in eternal glory. "That they may receive forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance (κληρον, a lot) among them that are sanctified;"
Deuteronomy 20:19 — would take care that they should be successful. Those who will not help themselves with the strength which God has already given them, shall not have any farther assistance from him. In all such cases, the parable of the talents affords an accurate rule.4. Their going to war against their enemies must not deprive them of mercy and tenderness towards their brethren. He who had built a house and had not yet dwelt in it, who had planted a vineyard and had not eaten of its fruits, who had betrothed a wife
Deuteronomy 3:11 — puedan reducir Og a las seiscodos; pero aun de esta manera lo hacen por lo menos de nueve pies de altura . Sobre este tema los rabinos han jugado de la manera más pecaminosa. Daré un espécimen. En el Targum de Jonatán ben Uzziel sobre Números 21:33-4 , se dice que "Og, habiendo observado que el campamento de los israelitas se extendía seis millas, fue y derribó una montaña de seis millas en su base, y la puso sobre su cabeza, y lo llevó hacia el campamento, para arrojarlo sobre los israelitas y
Deuteronomy 6:4 — Versículo Deuteronomio 6:4 . Escucha, oh Israel. שמע ישראל יהוה אלהינו יהוה אחד shemA Yisrael, Yehovah Eloheinu, Yehovah achaD. Estas palabras pueden ser traducidas al español de diversas maneras; pero casi todas las variedades verbales posibles en la traducción (y no puede haber
Joshua 3:17 — aspectos, el paso del Jordán fue más asombrosamente milagroso que incluso el del Mar Rojo . En este último Dios se complació en emplear un agente ; el mar retrocedió por un fuerte viento del este toda la noche, y convirtió el mar en tierra seca, Éxodo 14:21 . Nada de esto apareció en el paso del Jordán; un río muy rápido (pues así lo afirman todos los viajeros) volvió a su origen sin ningún tipo de agencia sino la mano invisible del Dios invisible. 4. A lo largo de todo el período de la historia judía,
1 Samuel 8:22 — themselves who changed it.2. That though God permitted them to have a king, yet he did not approve of him.3. That, notwithstanding he did not suffer them to choose the man, he ordered his servant Samuel to choose him by lot, he disposing of that lot.4. That God never gave up the supreme government; he was still KING in Israel, and the king, so called, was only the vicegerent or deputy of the Lord.5. That no king of Judah attempted to be supreme, therefore they never made new laws, nor altered the
