Job 18:9 — desmotadoras y trampas se ponen o forman en diferentes lugares, de modo que muchas se toman antes de que lleguen al punto donde las dos líneas se cierran. “Echado en la red es, anda sobre lazo; lazo le está puesto en el camino, lazo en la tierra”, Job 18:8 . 3. El aullido de los perros , con los gritos de los cazadores , lo llenan de consternación y lo hacen correr más allá de sus fuerzas y sin aliento. “Los terrores lo atemorizarán por todas partes, y lo harán ponerse de pie”, Job 18:11 . 4.

Job 3:8 — Versículo Job 3:8 . Que lo maldigan los que maldicen el día.  Esta traducción es apenas inteligible. He vadeado una multitud de interpretaciones, sin poder recoger de ellas una noción del verso que me parezca probable. Schultens, Rosenmuller y, después de ellos, el

Psalms 110:4 — over all their descendants. Every priest had a threefold office:1. He was an instructor of the family or tribe over which he presided.2. He offered sacrifices for the sins of the people, to reconcile them to God, and give them access to his presence.3. He was their mediator, and interceded for them. So is Christ, the grand, the universal Instructor, by his word and Spirit; the Lamb of God, who, by his sacrificial offering of himself, takes away the sin of the world, and still continues to exhibit

Isaiah 2:2 — variations, as I said, are of no great importance.Isaiah 2:2. הוא hu, after ונשא venissa, a word of some emphasis, may be supplied from Micah, if dropped in Isaiah. An ancient MS. has it here in the margin. It has in like manner been lost in Isaiah 53:4, (see note on the place, Isaiah 53:4- :) and in Psalms 22:29, where it is supplied by the Syriac, and Septuagint. Instead of כל הגוים col haggoyim, all the nations, Micah has only עמים ammim, peoples; where the Syriac has כל עמים col ammim, all peoples,

Isaiah 53:1 — he was to die, and the advantages resulting to mankind from that illustrious event. It begins with a complaint of the infidelity of the Jews, 1; the offence they took at his mean and humble appearance, 2; and the contempt with which they treated him, 3. The prophet then shows that the Messiah was to suffer for sins not his own; but that our iniquities were laid on him, and the punishment of them exacted of him, which is the meritorious cause of our obtaining pardon and salvation, 4-6. He shows the

John 21:25 — y tan asombrosos que, si se detallaran todos, el mundo no recibiría el relato con la debida fe, pero se registra lo suficiente para que los hombres puedan creer que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios, y para que, creyendo, tengan vida por su nombre: Juan 20:31. Ya hemos visto que este apóstol utiliza a menudo el término mundo para designar únicamente al pueblo judío; y si tiene este sentido aquí, lo cual es posible, se reivindicará de inmediato la exposición anterior de la palabra χωρειν. Como si hubiera

Romans 1:7 — to give the several acceptations of this word grace which occur in the sacred writings.1. The word χαριν signifies in general favour or benevolence, but especially that favour which is powerful and active, and loads its objects with benefits. Luke 1:30: Fear not, Mary, thou hast found FAVOUR, χαριν, with God. Luke 2:40: And the child grew - and the GRACE of God, χαρις θεου, the favour of God was upon him.

Hebrews 4:12 — suponen que se refiere a la totalidad de la revelación divina; otros, a la doctrina del Evangelio fielmente predicada; otros, a la mente de Dios o al intelecto divino; y otros, al Señor Jesucristo, a quien se denomina así en  Juan 1:1  y Apocalipsis 19:13 los únicos lugares en los que se le caracteriza así de manera incontestable en el Nuevo Testamento. El texto disputado, 1 Juan 5:7 , lo dejo por el momento fuera de la cuestión. En la introducción a esta epístola he presentado suficientes pruebas para

James overview — president, or bishop, of the Church in Jerusalem. Even allowing this opinion to be correct, it is not agreed in what sense James is called our Lord's brother, there being four or five different opinions concerning the meaning of this term. From Matthew 13:55, Matthew 13:56, we learn that there were four persons called brethren of our Lord: "Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brethren James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us?"

Judges 15:4 — objections against the common version will be diminished by the following considerations: -1. Foxes, or jackals, are common and gregarious in that country.2. It is not hinted that Samson collected them alone; he might have employed several hands in this work.3. It is not said he collected them all in one day; he might have employed several days, as well as many persons, to furnish him with these means of vengeance.4. In other countries, where ferocious beasts were less numerous, great multitudes have been

1 Samuel 4:17 — but in this case the field was warmly contested, thirty thousand were laid dead on the spot. This was a deeper cause of distress than the preceding; as if he had said, "The flower of our armies is destroyed; scarcely a veteran now to take the field."3. Thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead.This was still more afflictive to him as a father, to lose both his sons, the only hope of the family; and to have them taken away by a violent death when there was so little prospect of their having
