Genesis 48:22 — 48:22. Moreover I have given to thee one portion — שכם אחד shechem achad, one shechem or one shoulder. We have already seen the transactions between Jacob and his family on one part, and Shechem and the sons of Hamor on the other. See Genesis 33:18-19, and Genesis 34:1-31. As he uses the word shechem here, I think it likely that he alludes to the purchase of the field or parcel of ground mentioned Genesis 33:18-19. It has been supposed that this parcel of ground, which Jacob bought from Shechem,

1 Kings 16:34 — Verse 1 Kings 16:34. Did Hiel the Beth-elite build Jericho — I wish the reader to refer to my note on Joshua 6:26, for a general view of this subject. I shall add a few observations. Joshua's curse is well known: "Cursed be the man before the Lord that riseth up

1 Kings 2:46 — attention is this: That it is not uncommon in the Hebrew language to omit the negative in a second part of the sentence, and to consider it as repeated, when it has been once expressed, and is followed by the connecting particle. And thus on Isaiah 13:22 the late learned annotator says: 'The negative is repeated or referred to by the conjunction vau, as in many other places.' So also Isaiah 23:4. The necessity of so very considerable an alteration as inserting the particle NOT, may be here confirmed

Esther 10:3 — Verso Ester 10:3 . Fue el siguiente al rey Asuero. Era su primer ministro; y, bajo él, era el gobernador de todo el imperio. El Targum es extravagante en sus elogios a Mardoqueo: "Todos los reyes de la tierra temían y temblaban ante él; era tan resplandeciente como

Isaiah 7:15 — that a deliverance was intended to be here expressed is plain, from calling the child which should be born Immanuel, God with us. It is plain, also, because it is before given to the prophet in charge to make a declaration of the deliverance, Isaiah 7:3-7; and it is there made; and this prophecy must undoubtedly be conformable to that in this matter." - Dr. Jubb.The circumstance of the child's eating butter and honey is explained by Jarchi, as denoting a state of plenty: "Butter and honey shall this

Isaiah 7:15 — liberación. Y que se pretendía expresar aquí una liberación es evidente, por llamar al niño que nacería Emanuel, Dios con nosotros. También es evidente, porque antes se le da al profeta a cargo hacer una declaración de la liberación, ​​​​​​​ Isaías 7:3 ; y allí se hace; y esta profecía indudablemente debe ser conforme a eso en este asunto". - Dr. Jubb. La circunstancia de que el niño coma mantequilla y miel es explicada por Jarchi, como denotando un estado de abundancia: "Mantequilla y miel comerá

Isaiah 7:20 — promesa del Mesías que había de surgir de esa familia y nacer en esa tierra.  Compare Isaías 8:8 . Por lo tanto, Isaías testifica, Isaías 8:18 : 'He aquí, yo y los hijos que el Señor me ha dado somos por señales y por tipos en Israel'. Compare Zacarías 3:8 :Tus compañeros son hombres de señal y tipo': véase el Dr. Lowth sobre este versículo. El mensaje del desagrado divino contra Israel se expresa de la misma manera en los nombres que el profeta Oseas recibió instrucciones de dar a sus hijos; véanse

Daniel overview — Introduction to the Book of the Prophet DanielDaniel is said to have descended from the royal family of David; and he appears to have been carried into Babylon when very young, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim king of Judah, A.M. 3398, b.c. 602, or 606 before the vulgar era. He and his three fellow-captives, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, being likely youths, were chosen to be about the king's court, and were appointed to have an education suitable to the employments for which

Deuteronomy 1:46 — Verse Deuteronomy 1:46. According unto the days that ye abode there. — They had been a long time at this place, see Numbers 13:27; Numbers 20:1; Numbers 20:14; Numbers 20:21. And some think that the words mean, "Ye abode as long at Kadesh, when you came to it the second time, as ye did at the first." Or, according to others, "While ye were in that part of the desert, ye encamped

1 Corinthians 11:10 — head is a symbol of subjection. It is no unusual thing, in the Old and New Testament, for the signs and tokens of things to be called by the names of the things themselves, for thus circumcision is called the covenant, in Genesis 17:10, Genesis 17:13, though it was only the sign of it.2. The word angels presents another difficulty. Some suppose that by these the apostle means the fallen angels, or devils; others, the governors of the Church; and others, those who were deputed among the Jews to espouse

1 Corinthians 11:10 — la cabeza es símbolo de sujeción. No es cosa rara, en el Antiguo y en el Nuevo Testamento, que los signos y señales de las cosas se llamen con los nombres de las cosas mismas, pues así la circuncisión se llama pacto, en Génesis 17:10 , Génesis 17:13 , aunque era sólo la señal de ello.  2. La palabra ángeles presenta otra dificultad. Algunos suponen que con ellos el apóstol se refiere a los ángeles caídos o a los demonios; otros, a los gobernantes de la Iglesia; y otros, a los que fueron designados

1 Corinthians 11:34 — Verse 1 Corinthians 11:34. And if any man hunger — Let him not come to the house of God to eat an ordinary meal, let him eat at home-take that in his own house which is necessary for the support of his body before he comes to that sacred repast, where he should have the

1 Corinthians 11:34 — Versículo 1 Corintios 11:34 . Y si algún hombre tiene hambre... Que no venga a la casa de Dios a comer una comida ordinaria, que coma en casa ; tome en su propia casa lo que sea necesario para el sustento de su cuerpo antes de que venga a esa comida sagrada, donde él debe tener

Joshua 2:1 — dos espías para examinar el estado de los habitantes de la tierra, particularmente los de Jericó, que son hospedados en la casa de Rahab , 1. El rey de Jericó es informado de su presencia en la ciudad, y envía a Rahab, mandándole que los entregue , 2, 3. Ella esconde a los espías y les dice a los mensajeros que los hombres fueron hacia la montaña , 4, 5. Cuando partieron los oficiales del rey de Jericó, ella tomó los espías a la azotea, y los cubrió con lino , 6, 7. Ella les cuenta que el temor de

Hebrews 1:1 — world, 5565. -Year of the Antiochian era of the world, 5555. -Year of the world, according to Archbishop Usher, 4067. -Year of the world, according to Eusebius, in his Chronicon, 4291. -Year of the minor Jewish era of the world, or that in common use, 3823. -Year of the Greater Rabbinical era of the world, 4422 -Year from the Flood, according to Archbishop Usher, and the English Bible, 2411. -Year of the Cali yuga, or Indian era of the Deluge, 3165. -Year of the era of Iphitus, or since the first commencement

Judges 4:24 — caused the whole transaction to appear exceedingly questionable. They are the following: -1. There was peace between her family and the king of Canaan.2. That peace was no doubt made, as all transactions of the kind were, with a sacrifice and an oath.3. Sisera, knowing this, came to her tent with the utmost confidence.4. She met him with the most friendly greetings and assurances of safety.5. Having asked for water, to show her friendship and respect she gave him cream, and that in a vessel suitable

Revelation 17:18 — the greatest assurance that it is so, because the woman is called a city, which is a much plainer emblem of a Church, as the word is used unequivocally in this sense in so many parts of Scripture that we cannot well mistake its meaning. See Revelation 3:12; Revelation 11:2; Revelation 21:10; Revelation 22:19; and also Psalms 46:4; Psalms 87:3; Hebrews 12:22, c. The woman therefore must be the Latin Church and as the apostle saw her sitting upon the beast, this must signify that ηεχουσα βασιλειαν, she

Revelation 17:18 — así, porque a la mujer se le llama ciudad , lo cual es un emblema mucho más claro de una Iglesia , ya que la palabra se usa inequívocamente en este sentido en tantas partes de la Escritura que no podemos confundir bien su sentido. Véase Apocalipsis 3:12 ; Apocalipsis 11:2 ; Apocalipsis 21:10 ; Apocalipsis 22:19 ; y también Salmo 46:4 ; Salmo 87:3 ; Hebreos 12:22. La mujer por lo tanto debe ser la Iglesia latina y como el apóstol la vio sentada sobre la bestia, esto debe significar que ηεχουσα
