Job 19:29 — could Job here express his conviction of a reverse of things in this world, and of a restoration to temporal prosperity, at the very time when he strongly asserts that his miseries would soon be terminated by death? See Job 6:11; Job 7:21; Job 17:11-15; Job 19:10, and particularly in Job 7:7: O remember that my life is wind; mine eye shall no more see good."Still less could Job here express a hope full of immortality, which sense cannot be extorted from the words without every violence. And as the

Leviticus 17:11 — the animal is in health, the sooner the blood coagulates on exposure; and the more it has lost of the living principle, as in cases of violent inflammation, the less sensible it is to the stimulus produced by being exposed, and coagulates more slowly.5. He proves that the blood preserves life in different parts of the body. When the nerves going to any part are tied or cut, the part becomes paralytic, and loses all power of motion, but it does not mortify. But let the artery be cut, and then the part

Jonah overview — might be called Κητος, or the whale. Others have thought that the whole of the account of Jonah's being swallowed by a great fish, his praying in its belly, and being cast on dry land, was a dream which he had while fast asleep in the ship. See Jonah 1:5. And others state that the whole book is a parable, intending to point out God's justice and mercy, and how prevalent repentance is to turn aside the threatened stroke of Divine wrath.There is a fable, most probably of Phoenician origin, which, bearing

Romans 9:12 — reprobación como la que algunos sostienen; ya que el siervo puede ser elegido, mientras el propio amo está en estado de reprobación. 4. Aunque se conceda que la servidumbre implica tal reprobación, es cierto que Esaú, en persona, nunca sirvió a Jacob. 5. Tampoco el odio de Dios contra Esaú implica tal reprobación de la persona de Esaú, porque es demostrable que se refería, no a Esaú personalmente, sino a su posteridad. 6. El alcance del razonamiento del apóstol es mostrar que Dios es el soberano de

Hebrews 7:28 — priests — The Jewish priests have need of these repeated offerings and sacrifices, because they are fallible, sinful men: but the word of the oath (still referring to Psalms 110:4) which was since the law; for David, who mentions this, lived nearly 500 years after the giving of the law, and consequently that oath, constituting another priesthood, abrogates the law; and by this the SON is consecrated, τετελειωμενον, is perfected, for evermore. Being a high priest without blemish, immaculately holy,
