Genesis 27:46 — de humillaciones, desilusiones y calamidades. Los hombres pueden esforzarse por paliar la iniquidad de estas acciones; pero esto debe proceder de la debilidad o del celo equivocado. Dios ha marcado suficientemente estas acciones con su desaprobación. 3.La enemistad que Esaú sintió contra su hermano Jacob parece haber sido transmitida a toda su posteridad; y sin duda los asuntos de la primogenitura y la bendición fueron las bases sobre las cuales se mantuvo esa enemistad perpetua entre los descendientes

Exodus 25:40 — lo tiene, κατα τον τυτον τον δεδειγμενον σοι · de acuerdo con el modelo que se te mostró . Me parece que San Pablo tenía este mandato particularmente en la vista cuando le dio a su hijo Timoteo que encontramos en la segunda epístola, 2 Timoteo 1:13: Ὑποτυπωσιν εχε ὑγιαινοντων λογων , ὡν παρ 'εμου ηκουσας. " Mantén firme las FORMAS del sonido de las palabras que has oído hablar de mí ". El tabernáculo era un tipo de la Iglesia de Dios; que la Iglesia está edificada sobre el fundamento de los

Exodus 6:3 — Verse Exodus 6:3. By the name of God Almighty — אל שדי EL-SHADDAl, God All-sufficient; God the dispenser or pourer-out of gifts. Genesis 17:1.But by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. — This passage has been a sort of crux criticorum, and has been

Exodus 7:25 — chief persons concerned in the opposition made by the Egyptians to these messengers of God. Though their names are not mentioned in the sacred text, yet tradition had preserved them in the Jewish records, from which St. Paul undoubtedly quotes 2 Timothy 3:8, where, speaking of the enemies of the Gospel, he compares them to Jannes and Jambres, who withstood Moses. That these names existed in the ancient Jewish records, their own writings show. In the Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel on this place they are

Haggai 2:23 — Versículo Hageo 2:23 . En aquel día, dice el Señor.Algunos piensan, dice este mismo erudito escritor, que Zorobabel se pone aquí por su pueblo y posteridad: pero bien puede decirse que las conmociones predichas comenzaron en la rebelión de Babilonia, que Darío sitió y tomó;

Matthew 2:1 — CHAPTER II. Wise men come from the east to worship Christ, 1, 2. Herod, hearing of the birth of our Lord, is greatly troubled, 3; and makes inquiry of the chief priests and scribes, where the Christ should be born, 4. They inform him of the prophecy relative to Bethlehem, 5, 6. The wise men, going to Bethlehem, are desired by Herod to bring him word when they have found the child,

Matthew 6:13 — Verso Mateo 6:13. Y no nos dejes caer en la tentación...  Es decir, no nos metas en un doloroso juicio. πειρασμον, que aquí puede traducirse en una dolorosa prueba, proviene de πειρω, perforar, como con una lanza, o escupir, utilizado así por algunos de los mejores

Acts 2:1 — speak different languages, which they had never learned, 1-4. An account of persons from various countries who there present, and were astonished to hear the apostles declare the wonderful works of God in their respective languages, 5-12. Some cavil, 13, and are confounded by Peter, who asserts that this work is of God; and that thereby a most important prophecy was fulfilled, 14-21. He takes occasion from this to preach Jesus to them, as the true Lord and only Messiah, 22-36. The people are alarmed

Romans 1:32 — Verse Romans 1:32. Who, knowing the judgment of God — δικαιωμα, the grand rule of right which God has revealed to every man, the knowledge of which he has, less or more, given to every nation of the world, relative to honouring parents, taking care of their own

Romans 2:16 — Alexandria, (sub Anathematismo iii. in Actis Ephesinis, p. 212,) speaking of the union of the two natures in Christ; he calls this union φυσικην, natural; that is, says he, αληθη, true, or real. He adds, that the word should be thus understood in Ephesians 2:3: We were by nature, φυσει, children of wrath; and says, φυσει αντι του αληθως. φυσει is here used for αληθως, TRULY; We were TRULY, INCONTESTABLY, the children of wrath, even as others. That is, like the rest of mankind, we have all sinned and come

1 Corinthians 15:32 — Verse 32. If, after the manner of men, c.] Much learned criticism has been employed on this verse, to ascertain whether it is to be understood literally or metaphorically. Does the apostle mean to say that he had literally fought with wild beasts at Ephesus?

1 Corinthians 16:22 — Verse 22. If any man love not the Lord Jesus — This is directed immediately against the Jews. From 1 Corinthians 12:3, we find that the Jews, who pretended to be under the Spirit and teaching of God, called Jesus αναθεμα, or accursed; i.e. a person who should be devoted to destruction: see the note there. In this place the apostle retorts the whole upon themselves,

1 Corinthians 4:21 — courage, and recommending it with prudence.(2.) Fidelity to CHRIST, whose representatives they are, in honestly and fully recommending his grace and salvation on the ground of his passion and death, and preaching his maxims in all their force and purity.(3.) Fidelity to the CHURCH, in taking heed to keep up a godly discipline, admitting none into it but those who have abandoned their sins and permitting none to continue in it that do not continue to adorn the doctrine of God their Saviour.(4.) Fidelity

Galatians 3:17 — taken, both here and in the preceding verse, for Christians, as has already been hinted. However it be taken, the sense is plainly the same; the promise of salvation must necessarily be to them who believe in Christ, for he is the promised seed, Genesis 3:15, through whom every blessing is derived on mankind; and through his spiritual seed-the true Christians, the conquests of the cross are daily spreading over the face of the earth. The present unparalleled dispersion of the sacred writings, in all

Philippians 2:6 — the Divine nature and the government of the world, cannot be admitted; since Christ, when he became man, could not divest himself of the nature of God; and with respect to the government of the world, we are led, by what the apostle tells, Hebrews 1:3, to believe that he did not part with even that; but, in his divested state, still continued to uphold all things by the word of his power. By the form of God we are rather to understand that visible, glorious light in which the Deity is said to dwell,

James 5:14 — as the Romish Church prescribes, will be sufficiently evident from these considerations:1. Be was a holy man, and could prescribe nothing but what was holy. 2. If a miracle was intended, it could have been as well wrought without the oil, as with it. 3. It is not intimated that even this unction is to save the sick man, but the prayer of faith, James 5:15. 4. What is here recommended was to be done as a natural means of restoring health, which, while they used prayer and supplication to God, they

2 Peter 3:16 — Verse 16. As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things] Paul, in all his epistles, says Dr. Macknight, has spoken of the things written by Peter in this letter. For example, he has spoken of Christ's coming to judgment; 1 Thessalonians 3:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Titus 2:13. And of the resurrection of the dead, 1 Corinthians 15:22; Philippians 3:20-21. And of the burning of the earth; 2 Thessalonians 1:8. And of the heavenly country; 2 Corinthians 5:1-10.

Revelation 1:4 — regions, the heavens, the earth, and all they contain, were perfected; and they are all before him reputed as nothing:- והוא היה והוא הוה והוא יהיה vehu hayah, vehu hoveh, vehu yihyeh; and HE WAS, and HE IS, and HE WILL BE. So, in Shemoth Rabba, sec. 3, fol. 105, 2: "The holy blessed God said to Moses, tell them: - אני שהייתי ואני הוא עכשיו ואני הוא לעתיד לבוא ani shehayithi, veani hu achshaiu, veani hu laathid labo; I WAS, I NOW AM, and I WILL BE IN FUTURE."In Chasad Shimuel, Rab. Samuel ben David
