2 Kings 20:20 — ojos en todas las direcciones; nunca estuvieron tranquilos hasta que sus espadas los pusieron en posesión de todo, y llevaron a la dueña del mundo a una ruina irremediable. Vortigern, un rey británico, invitó infelizmente a los sajones, en el año 445, a que le ayudaran contra sus súbditos rebeldes: vinieron, vieron que la tierra era buena, y al final tomaron posesión de ella, habiendo expulsado, o llevado a las montañas de Gales, a todos los británicos originales. Los daneses, en el siglo IX, hicieron

Psalms 106:48 — por mano de él". 4. "Y las aguas cubrieron a sus enemigos". El efecto fue, por el momento: 1. Les arrancó una confesión de que Dios era veraz en sus promesas: "Entonces creyeron sus palabras". 2. Los animó a alabarle: "Cantaron su alabanza", Éxodo 15:1 . Pero estos mismos hombres que se vieron obligados a confesar su poder y cantar sus alabanzas por el derrocamiento del Faraón en el Mar Rojo, apenas se apartaron de esas orillas, cuando, por falta de un poco de pan y agua, se impacientaron y desconfiaron

Psalms 8:9 — of body. Or son of man: that es, he that es gastely, and beres the ymage of heven. Qwat es he, for thou visits hym. Als present the qwilk es nere the for clennes of lyf. Or son of man he calles Crist, thrugh qwam he visits mannes kynd. Ver. Salmo 8:5. Minuisti eum paullo minus ab angelis: gloria et honore coronasti eum; et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum. Trans. Thow lessed hym a littil fra aungels; with ioy and honour thu coround hym: and thu sett him aboven the werkes of thi hend. Par.

Matthew overview — the purification of the contracting parties; and hence the word ברית berith is frequently used to express not only the covenant itself, but also the sacrifice offered on the occasion. See below under Gospel; and see the notes on Genesis 6:18; Genesis 15:18 (note); Exodus 29:45 (note); Leviticus 26:15 (note); and Deuteronomy 29:12 (note), where every thing relative to this subject is minutely considered.The term new covenant, as used here, seems to mean that grand plan of agreement or reconciliation

Luke 9:62 — rock, or strong mountain of defence. The true meaning of the name was at first declared by our Lord to be Cephas, a stone; and a learned commentator, Edward Leigh, Esq., asserts that πετρος, doth always signify a STONE, never a rock. Critica Sacra, p. 325."With respect to the first. - The word πετρος, petros, in its highest figurative sense of a stone, when applied to Peter, can represent only one true believer, or faithful member of Christ's Church, that is, one out of the great multitude of true believers

Luke 9:62 — de defensa. El verdadero significado del nombre fue declarado al principio por nuestro Señor como Cefas, una piedra; y un erudito comentarista, Edward Leigh, Esq., afirma que πετρος, siempre significa una PIEDRA, nunca una roca. Critica Sacra, p. 325. "Con respecto a la primera. - La palabra πετρος, petros, en su más alto sentido figurado de piedra, cuando se aplica a Pedro, sólo puede representar a un verdadero creyente, o miembro fiel de la Iglesia de Cristo, es decir, uno de la gran multitud

Acts 17:34 — piety; where it is manifest that δεισιδαιμονια must mean religion, and not superstition. But, what is more to the present purpose, the word is used by Josephus, not only where a heathen calls the pagan religion δεισιδαιμονιας, (Antiq. lib. xix. cap. 5. s. 3,) or where the Jewish religion is spoken of by this name, in several edicts that were made in its favour by the Romans, (as in Antiq. lib. xiv. cap. 10, s. 13, 14, 16, 18, 19,) but also where the historian is expressing his own thoughts in his

Hebrews 13:25 — intelligence of the pardon of all the sins of the soul, and its reconciliation to God through the blood of Christ and this good conscience retained, implies God's continued approbation of such a person's conduct; see Acts 23:1; Hebrews 13:1; Hebrews 1:5; Hebrews 1:19; and here, Hebrews 13:18. "A bad or evil conscience"' supposes a charge of guilt brought against the soul by the Holy Spirit, for the breach of the Divine laws; and which he makes known to it by conscience, as a medium of conveying his

Hebrews 13:25 — perdón de todos los pecados del alma, y su reconciliación con Dios a través de la sangre de Cristo y esta buena conciencia retenida, implica la aprobación continua de Dios de la conducta de tal persona; ver Hechos 23:1 ; Hebreos 13:1 ; Hebreos 1:5 ; Hebreos 1:19 ; y aquí, Hebreos 13:18 . "Una mala conciencia" supone una acusación de culpa hecha contra el alma por el Espíritu Santo, por la violación de las leyes divinas; y que le da a conocer por la conciencia, como medio de llevar su propia

Judges 16:31 — extent of country over which he presided. His jurisdiction seems to have been very limited, and to have extended no farther than over those parts of the tribe of Dan contiguous to the land of the Philistines. This is what our margin intimates on Judges 15:20. Many suppose that he and Eli were contemporaries, Samson being rather an executor of the Divine justice upon the enemies of his people, than an administrator of the civil and religious laws of the Hebrews. Allowing Eli and Samson to have been contemporaries,
