Genesis 49:33 — Verse Genesis 49:33. He gathered up his feet into the bed — It is very probable that while delivering these prophetic blessings Jacob sat upon the side of his bed, leaning upon his staff; and having finished, he lifted up his feet into the bed, stretched himself

Exodus 13:22 — are thus armed for the battle, and when trials do come they are not taken by surprise. God, the most merciful and kind God, "tempers even the blast to the shorn lamb." Trust in him therefore with all thy heart, and never lean to thy own understanding.4. The providence and goodness of God are equally observable in the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire. The former was the proof of his providential kindness by day; the latter, by night. Thus he adjusts the assistance of his grace and Spirit to the

Exodus 13:22 — la batalla, y cuando llegan los juicios no los toman por sorpresa. Dios, el Dios más misericordioso y bondadoso, "templa hasta el soplo del cordero esquilado". Por tanto, confía en él con todo tu corazón, y nunca te apoyes en tu propio entendimiento. 4. La providencia y la bondad de Dios son igualmente observables en la columna de nube y en la columna de fuego. El primero fue la prueba de su providencial bondad de día; este último, de noche. Así ajusta la asistencia de su gracia y Espíritu a las exigencias

Psalms 116:19 — Others again refer this clause to the preceding: They talk of happiness and felicity, but none is to be found in the land of the living.3. Some again refer it to Absalom, who deceived David by his vow at Hebron; or to Ahithophel, who revolted from him.4. Again, others suppose that he taxed even Samuel himself that he spoke not by God's Spirit, when he anointed him king over Israel; because, during Saul's persecution, there appeared so little hope of it. But the first sense is the most cogent.III. Henceforth,

Psalms 116:19 — a remitir esta cláusula a la anterior: Hablan de felicidad y de ventura, pero ninguna se encuentra en la tierra de los vivos. 3. Algunos vuelven a referirla a Absalón, que engañó a David con su voto en Hebrón; o a Ajitófel, que se rebeló contra él. 4. Otros suponen que acusó al mismo Samuel de no haber hablado por el Espíritu de Dios, cuando lo ungió como rey de Israel, porque, durante la persecución de Saúl, parecía haber tan poca esperanza de ello. Pero el primer sentido es el más convincente. III.

Leviticus overview — the history of what passed during the eight days of the consecration of Aaron and his sons, though Archbishop Usher supposes that it comprises the history of the transactions of a whole month, viz., from April 21 to May 21, of the year of the world 2514, which answers to the first month of the second year after the departure from Egypt. As there are no data by which any chronological arrangement of the facts mentioned in it can be made, it would be useless to encumber the page with conjectures which,

Isaiah 53:8 — Mishna was composed in the middle of the second century according to Prideaux; Lardner ascribes it to the year of Christ 180.Casaubon has a quotation from Maimonides which farther confirms this account: - Exercitat. in Baronii Annales, Art. lxxvi. Ann. 34. Num. 119. Auctor est Maimonides in Perek xiii. ejus libri ex opere Jad, solitum fieri, ut cum reus, sententiam mortis passus, a loco judicii exibat ducendus ad supplicium, praecedoret ipsum חכרוז κηρυξ, praeco; et haec verba diceret: Ille exit occidendus

Isaiah 53:8 — relato que se da de la Mishna. La Mishna fue compuesta a mediados del siglo II, según Prideaux; Lardner la atribuye al año 180 de Cristo. Casaubon tiene una cita de Maimónides que confirma este relato: - Exercitat. in Baronii Annales, Art. lxxvi. Ann. 34. Num. 119. Auctor est Maimonides in Perek xiii. ejus libri ex opere Jad, solitum fieri, ut cum reus, sententiam mortis passus, a loco judicii exibat ducendus ad supplicium, praecedoret ipsum חכרוז κηρυξ, praeco; et haec verba diceret: Ille exit occidendus

Matthew 16:28 — dwelling-house of a fellow-convert, more convenient and capacious than the rest; hence the Church that was in the house of Aquila and Priscilla, Romans 16:3; Romans 16:5, and 1 Corinthians 16:19, and the Church that was in the house of Nymphas, Colossians 4:15. Now, as these houses were dedicated to the worship of God, each was termed κυριου οικος kuriou oikos, the house of the Lord; which word, in process of time, became contracted into κυριοικ kurioik, and κυριακη, kuriake; and hence the kirk of our

Matthew 16:28 — vivienda de un compañero convertido, más conveniente y espaciosa que los demás; de ahí la Iglesia que estaba en casa de Aquila y Priscila,, Romanos 16:3; Romanos 16:5, y 1 Corintios 16:19, y la Iglesia que estaba en la casa de Ninfas , Colosenses 4:15. Ahora, como estas casas estaban dedicadas a la adoración de Dios, cada una se denominó κυριου οικος kuriou oikos, la casa del Señor; cuya palabra, con el paso del tiempo, se contrajo en κυριοικ kurioik, y κυριακη, kuriake; y de ahí la kirk de nuestros

Luke 24:53 — Verso Lucas 24:53. Estuvimos continuamente en el templo... Especialmente hasta que llegó el día de pentecostés, cuando recibieron la promesa, mencionada Lucas 24:49. Alabando y bendiciendo a Dios...  magnificando su misericordia y hablando bien de su nombre. Así

Romans 13:14 — Verse Romans 13:14. Put ye on the Lord Jesus — This is in reference to what is said, Romans 13:13: Let us put on decent garments-let us make a different profession, unite with other company, and maintain that profession by a suitable conduct. Putting on, or being

Romans 13:14 — Verso Romanos 13:14 . Vístanse del Señor Jesús... Esto es en referencia a lo que se dice, Romanos 13:13 : Pongámonos ropas decorosas , hagamos una profesión diferente, unámonos con otra compañía, y mantengamos esa profesión con una conducta adecuada. Revestirse o revestirse

1 Corinthians 9:26 — multitude, they stretched every nerve; the apostle knew that the eyes of all were fixed upon him.1. His false brethren waited for his halting:2. The persecuting Jews and Gentiles longed for his downfall:3. The Church of Christ looked on him with anxiety:4. And he acted in all things as under the immediate eye of God.Not as one that beateth the air — Kypke observes, that there are three ways in which persons were said, αεραδερειν, to beat the air.1. When in practising for the combat they threw their

1 Corinthians 9:26 — multitud, estiraban todos los nervios; el apóstol sabía que los ojos de todos estaban fijos en él. 1. Sus falsos hermanos esperaban que se detuviera: 2. Los judíos y gentiles perseguidores anhelaban su caída: 3. La Iglesia de Cristo lo miraba con ansiedad: 4. Y actuó en todo como si estuviera bajo el ojo inmediato de Dios. No como uno que golpea el aire... Kypke observa que hay tres formas en las que se dice que las personas, αεραδερειν, golpean el aire. 1. Cuando al practicar para el combate lanzaban sus

Joshua 8:1 — by stratagem, 3-8. The men dispose themselves according to these directions, 9-13. The king of Ai attacks the Israelites, who, feigning to be beaten, fly before him, in consequence of which all the troops of Ai issue out, and pursue the Israelites, 14-17. Joshua, at the command of God, stretches out his spear towards Ai, and then five thousand men that he had placed in ambush in the valley rise up, enter the city, and set it on fire, 18, 19. Then Joshua and his men turned against the men of Ai, and,

1 Timothy 1:4 — Verse 1 Timothy 1:4. Neither give heed to fables — Idle fancies; things of no moment; doctrines and opinions unauthenticated; silly legends, of which no people ever possessed a greater stock than the Jews. Their Talmud abounds with them; and the English reader may

Hebrews 5:12 — general; the holy men of old having spoken by the inspiration of the Divine Spirit, Romans 3:2, and in the text under consideration.3. It signifies Divine revelation in general, because all delivered immediately from God, 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 1 Peter 4:11. When we consider what respect was paid by the heathens to their oracles, which were supposed to be delivered by those gods who were the objects of their adoration, but which were only impostures, we may then learn what respect is due to the true

Hebrews 5:12 — antigüedad habían hablado por inspiración del Espíritu Divino, Romanos 3:2, y en el texto que estamos considerando. 3. Significa la revelación divina en general, porque todo lo que se entrega inmediatamente de Dios,  1 Tesalonicenses 2:13 ; 1 Pedro 4:11 . Cuando consideramos el respeto que los paganos tenían por sus oráculos, que se suponía que eran entregados por aquellos dioses que eran objeto de su adoración, pero que sólo eran imposturas, podemos entonces aprender el respeto que se debe a los

2 Samuel 1:21 — Mashiach bashshamen! 22. Middam chalalim, mecheleb gibborim, Kesheth Yehonathan lo nashog achor; Vechereb Shaul lo thashub reykam. 23. Shaul Vihonathan, Hannee habim vehanneimim bechaiyeyhem, Ubemotham lo niphradu. Minnesharim kallu, mearayoth gaberu! 24.
