Genesis 14:19 — Verso Génesis 14:19. Y lo bendijo… Esto era parte del oficio del sacerdote; bendicir en el nombre del Señor, para siempre . Vea el contenido de esta bendición, Números 6:23-4; y para conocer el significado de las palabras: para bendecir , consulte Génesis 2:3.

Exodus 2:18 — pronouncing the same word wherever it may occur, either in the Old or New Testament, is greatly to be desired. The person in question appears to have several names. Here he is called Reuel; in Numbers 10:29, Raguel; in Exodus 3:1, Jethor; in Judges 4:11, Hobab; and in Judges 1:16 he is called קיני Keyni, which in Exodus 4:0 we translate Kenite. Some suppose that Re-u-el was father to Hobab, who was also called Jethro. This is the most likely; Exodus 3:1; Exodus 3:1.

Esther 4:13 — Versículo Ester 4:13 . No pienses - que escaparás. Esto confirma la sospecha de que Amán sabía algo de la relación entre Mardoqueo y Ester; y por eso le da a entender que, aunque esté en el palacio del rey, no debe escapar más que los judíos.

Psalms 37:4 — Versículo Salmo 37:4 . Deléitate también en el Señor. Espera de él toda tu felicidad , y búscala en él. Los deseos de tu corazón.  משאלות mishaloth , las peticiones. El hombre piadoso nunca se complace en un deseo que no pueda convertir en una oración a Dios.

Psalms 39:4 — Versículo Salmo 39:4 . Señor, hazme conocer mi fin. Estoy cansado de la vida; Quiero saber la medida de mis días , para ver cuánto tengo que sufrir y cuán frágil soy. Deseo saber qué es querer compensar el número de los días que me quedan por vivir.

Psalms 66:4 — Versículo Salmo 66:4 . Toda la tierra. Toda la tierra te adorará . No se hallará más ídolo entre las tribus de Israel. Esto era literalmente cierto. Después del cautiverio babilónico, los israelitas nunca volvieron a caer en la idolatría. Selah.  Obsérvelo: esta es una verdad bien atestiguada.

Psalms 72:8 — Verse Psalms 72:8. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea — The best comment on this, as it refers to Solomon, may be found in 1 Kings 4:21; 1 Kings 4:24: "And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms, from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt; for he had dominion over all on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side

Proverbs 30:21 — three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear — This is another enigma. Four things insupportable to men. 1. A slave, when he becomes ruler. 2. An overfed fool. 3. An ill-tempered woman, when mistress of a family. And, 4. A servant maid, when the rule of the house is committed to her.1. A slave, when he comes to bear rule, is an unprincipled tyrant. It has been often observed both in America and in the West Indies, when it was judged necessary to arm some of the most

Isaiah 10:29 — Verse Isaiah 10:29. They are gone over the passage - "They have passed the strait"] The strait here mentioned is that of Michmas, a very narrow passage between two sharp hills or rocks, (see 1 Samuel 14:4-5,) where a great army might have been opposed with advantage by a very inferior force. The author of the Book of Judith might perhaps mean this pass, at least among others: "Charging them to keep the passages of the hill country, for by them there

Isaiah 4:4 — Verse Isaiah 4:4. The spirit of burning — Means the fire of God's wrath, by which he will prove and purify his people; gathering them into his furnace, in order to separate the dross from the silver, the bad from the good. The severity of God's judgments, the

Isaiah 4:4 — Versículo Isaías 4:4 . El espíritu de ardor. Significa el fuego de la ira de Dios, por el cual probará y purificará a su pueblo; juntándolos en su horno, para separar la escoria de la plata, lo malo de lo bueno. La severidad de los juicios de Dios, el juicio de fuego

Daniel 11:4 — Verse Daniel 11:4. His kingdom shall be broken — Shall, after his death, be divided among his four chief generals, as we have seen before. See Daniel 8:22.And not to his posterity — The family of Alexander had a most tragical end:1. His wife Statira was murdered

Mark 1:40 — Verse Mark 1:40. There came a leper — See the notes on Matthew 8:2, c. Should any be inclined to preach on this cleansing of the leper, Mark is the best evangelist to take the account from, because he is more circumstantial than either Matthew or Luke.I. Consider

John 4:1 — CHAPTER IV. Jesus, finding that the Pharisees took offence at his making many disciples, leaves Judea to pass into Galilee, 1-3. And passing through Samaria comes to Sychar, and rests at Jacob's well, 4-6. While his disciples were gone to the city to buy meat, a woman of Samaria comes to draw water, with whom our Lord discourses at large on the spiritual nature of his religion, the perfection of the Divine nature, and the purity of his worship, 7-24.

2 Corinthians 4:1 — CHAPTER IV. St. Paul shows the integrity with which he had preached the Gospel of Christ, 1, 2. And that, if it was unprofitable to any who had heard it, it was because their unbelieving hearts were blinded, 3, 4. How he preached, and how he was qualified for the work, 5-7. The troubles and difficulties he met with in his labours, and the hope and consolations by which he was supported, 8-15. And the prospect he had of eternal blessedness, 16-18. NOTES ON CHAP.

2 Corinthians 5:4 — Verse 2 Corinthians 5:4. For we that are in this tabernacle — We who are in this state of trial and difficulty do groan, being burdened; as if he had said: The whole of human life is a state of suffering, and especially our lot; who are troubled on every side, perplexed,

Joshua 7:4 — Versículo Josué 7:4 . Unos tres mil hombres.  Los espías enviados a reconocer el lugar ( Josué 7:3 ) informaron que la ciudad estaba mal guarnecida y que dos o tres mil hombres serían suficientes para tomarla. En consecuencia, estos fueron enviados y fueron derrotados por los amorreos.

How they should imitate their teachers, 7, 8. To avoid strange doctrines, 9. Of the Jewish sin-offerings, 10, 11. Jesus suffered without the gate, and we should openly confess him and bear his reproach, 12, 13. Here we have

Ruth 4:2 — Verse Ruth 4:2. He took ten men — Probably it required this number to constitute a court. How simple and how rational was this proceeding!1. The man who had a suit went to the city gates.2. Here he stopped till the person with whom he had the suit came to

1 Samuel 31:4 — Verse 1 Samuel 31:4. Draw thy sword, and thrust me through — Dr. Delaney has some good observations on this part of the subject: "Saul and his armour-bearer died by the same sword. That his armour-bearer died by his own sword is out of all doubt; the text expressly
