Job 19:25 — goali, my Kinsman, he whose right it was among the ancient Hebrews to redeem the forfeited heritages belonging to the family, to vindicate its honour, and to avenge the death of any of his relatives by slaying the murderer; (Leviticus 25:25; Numbers 35:12; Ruth 3:13;) but here it must refer to Christ, who has truly the right of redemption, being of the same kindred, who was born of woman, flesh of flesh and bone of our bone.Liveth, חי chai, is the living One, who has the keys of hell and death: the

Job 19:25 — גאלי goali, mi Pariente, aquel cuyo derecho era entre los antiguos hebreos redimir las herencias perdidas pertenecientes a la familia, vindicar su honor, y vengar la muerte de cualquiera de sus parientes matando al asesino;  ( Levítico 25:25 ; Números 35:12 ; Rut 3:13) pero aquí debe referirse a Cristo, que tiene verdaderamente el derecho de redención, siendo de la misma estirpe, que nació de mujer, carne de carne y hueso de nuestros huesos. Vive, חי chai, es el que vive, que tiene las llaves del

Proverbs 8:36 — Verse Proverbs 8:36. Wrongeth his own soul — It is not Satan, it is not sin, properly speaking, that hurts him; it is himself. If he received the teaching of God, sin would have no dominion over him; if he resisted the devil, the devil would flee from him.Love death.

Proverbs 8:36 — Versículo Proverbios 8:36 . Daña su propia alma. No es Satanás , no es el pecado , propiamente hablando, lo que le hiere; es él mismo. Si recibiera la enseñanza de Dios, el pecado no tendría dominio sobre él ; si resistiera al diablo , el diablo huiría de él . Amar la muerte.

Isaiah 1:1 — THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET ISAIAH Chronological Notes relative to the commencement of Isaiah's prophecy -Year from the Creation of the World, according to the computation of Archbishop Usher, 3244. -Year from the Deluge, according to the generally received Hebrew text, 1588. -Year from the vocation of Abram, 1161. -Year from the foundation of Solomon's Temple, 251. -First year of the fifth Olympiad. -Year before the building of Rome, according

Isaiah 40:1 — glad tidings that the time of favour and deliverance was at hand, 1, 2. Immediately a harbinger is introduced giving orders, as usual in the march of eastern monarchs, to remove every obstacle, and to prepare the way for their return to their own land, 3-5. The same words, however, the New Testament Scriptures authorize us to refer to the opening of the Gospel dispensation. Accordingly, this subject, coming once in view, is principally attended to in the sequel. Of this the prophet gives us sufficient

Isaiah 40:1 — nueva de que se acercaba el tiempo de la gracia, 1, 2. Inmediatamente se introduce un heraldo dando órdenes, como es habitual en la marcha de los monarcas orientales, para remover todo obstáculo, y para preparar el camino de regreso a su propia tierra, 3-5. Las mismas palabras, sin embargo, las Escrituras del  Nuevo Testamento autorizan a referirnos a la apertura  de la dispensación evangélica. En consecuencia, este tema, una vez puesto a la vista, es  principalmente la continuación. De esto el profeta

Numbers 21:35 — Verse Numbers 21:35. So they smote him, and his sons — There is a curious note of Dr. Lightfoot here, of which I should think it wrong to deprive the reader."Sihon and Og conquered, A. M. 2553. Of the life of Moses, 120. From the Exodus, 40. It is now six and twenty

Matthew 4:25 — Jordan. — Or, from the side of Jordan. Probably this was the country which was occupied anciently by the two tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh; for the country of Decapolis lay on both sides of the river Jordan. See Numbers 32:5; Numbers 32:33.THE account of our Lord's temptation, as given by the evangelist, is acknowledged on all hands to be extremely difficult. Two modes of interpretation have been generally resorted to, in order to make the whole plain and intelligible:

Matthew 4:25 — más allá de Jordania.  O, del lado del Jordán . Probablemente este fue el país que fue ocupado antiguamente por las dos tribus de Rubén y Gad , y la media tribu de Manasés ; porque el país de Decápolis estaba a ambos lados del río Jordán. Ver Números 32:5 ; Números 32:33 . El relato de la tentación de nuestro Señor, tal como lo da el evangelista, es reconocido por todos como extremadamente difícil. Se ha recurrido generalmente a dos modos de interpretación para hacer que todo sea claro e inteligible:

Acts 28:31 — Verse Acts 28:31. Preaching the kingdom of God — Showing the spiritual nature of the true Church, under the reign of the Messiah. For an explanation of this phrase, Matthew 3:2; Matthew 3:2.Those things which concern the Lord — The Redeemer of the world

Acts 7:60 — the end of this chapter: this should be immediately altered, and the amputated member restored to the body to which it belongs.1. THOUGH I have spoken pretty much at large on the punishment of stoning among the Jews, in Clarke's note on "Leviticus 24:23", yet, as the following extracts will serve to bring the subject more fully into view, in reference to the case of St. Stephen, the reader will not be displeased to find them here.Dr. Lightfoot sums up the evidence he has collected on this subject,

Romans 7:25 — holiness. He had found no salvation under an inefficient law; and he was left in thraldom under an equally inefficient Gospel. The very genius of Christianity demonstrates that nothing like this can, with any propriety, be spoken of a genuine Christian.3. But it is farther supposed that these things cannot be spoken of a proud or wicked Jew; yet we learn the contrary from the infallible testimony of the word of God. Of this people in their fallen and iniquitous state, God says, by his prophet, They

Romans 7:25 — personal. No había encontrado salvación bajo una ley ineficiente; y fue dejado en servidumbre bajo un evangelio igualmente ineficiente. El mismo  cristianismo demuestra que nada como esto puede, con alguna propiedad, hablarse de un cristiano genuino . 3. Pero además se supone que estas cosas no se pueden decir de un judío orgulloso o malvado; sin embargo, aprendemos lo contrario del testimonio infalible de la palabra de Dios. De este pueblo en su estado caído e inicuo, dice Dios, por medio de su profeta:

1 Corinthians 16:24 — can be saved. But what could the love of the apostle do with them? Has it any meaning? I confess I can see none, unless it be intended to say, I love you; or, I continue to love you. The pronoun μου, my, is wanting in the Codex Alexandrinus, and in 73, an excellent MS. in the Vatican, written about the eleventh century. This will help us to a better sense, for it either says, May love prevail among you! or supplying the word θεου GOD, as in 2 Corinthians 13:14, The love of God be with you! This gives

Joshua 10:12 — in the centre of what is called the solar system; and that the earth and all the other planets, whether primary or secondary, move round him in certain periodical times, according to the quantity of their matter, and distance from him, their centre.3. I consider the sun to have no revolution round any orbit, but to revolve round his own axis, and round the common centre of gravity in the planetary system, which centre of gravity is included within his own surface; and in all other respects I consider

Joshua 10:12 — está en el centro de lo que se llama el sistema solar; y que la tierra y todos los demás planetas, ya sean primarios o secundarios, se mueven alrededor de él en ciertos tiempos periódicos, según la cantidad de su materia y la distancia a él, su centro. 3. Considero que el sol no tiene ninguna revolución alrededor de ninguna órbita, sino que gira alrededor de su propio eje, y alrededor del centro de gravedad común en el sistema planetario, cuyo centro de gravedad está incluido dentro de su propia superficie;

1 Timothy 6:21 — both.But what is that learning which may be a useful handmaid to religion in the ministry of the Gospel? Perhaps we may find an answer to this important question in one of the qualifications which the apostle requires in a Christian minister, 1 Timothy 3:2: He should be apt to teach - capable of teaching others. See the note. Now, if he be capable of teaching others, he must be well instructed himself; and in order to this he will need all the learning that, in the course of the Divine providence, he

1 Samuel 17:58 — as shall be necessary to support the charge of interpolation, which ought not to be laid merely upon the authority of any single version."The first passage, which is not translated in the Vatican copy of the Greek version, is from the 1 Samuel 17:11-32 of the 17th chapter wherein we have an account:1. Of David's being sent to the camp to visit his brethren.2. Of his conversation with the men of Israel, relating to Goliath's challenge; and their informing him of the premium Saul had offered to any

1 Samuel 17:58 — envío de David al campamento para visitar a sus hermanos. 2. De su conversación con los hombres de Israel , en relación con el desafío de Goliat ; y le informaron de la hija que Saúl había ofrecido a cualquiera que la aceptara y saliera victorioso. 3. Del notable comportamiento de Eliab con su hermano David , al hacer esta pregunta. Y, 4. De cómo Saúl se enteró de lo que David había dicho en esta ocasión. "Es obvio observar este pasaje: - "1. Que, después de que David había prestado tantos servicios
