Bible Commentaries

Genesis 7:4 — entering the ark, in embarking the mighty troop, for whose reception ample provision had been already made.Forty days — This period became afterwards sacred, and was considered a proper space for humiliation. Moses fasted forty days, Deuteronomy 9:9; Deuteronomy 9:11; so did Elijah, 1 Kings 19:8; so did our Lord, Matthew 4:2. Forty days' respite were given to the Ninevites that they might repent, Jonah 3:4; and thrice forty (one hundred and twenty) years were given to the old world for the same

Genesis 7:4 — arca, para embarcar a la poderosa tropa, para cuya recepción ya se había hecho amplia provisión. Cuarenta días… Este período se convirtió luego en sagrado y se consideró un espacio adecuado para la humillación. Moisés ayunó cuarenta días, Deuteronomio 9:9; Deuteronomio 9:11; lo mismo hizo Elìas , 1 Reyes 19:8; también lo hizo nuestro Señor , Mateo 4:2. Se les dio un respiro de cuarenta días a los ninivitas para que pudieran arrepentirse, Jonás 3:4; y tres veces cuarenta (ciento veinte) años fueron

1 Chronicles 9:13 — Verse 1 Chronicles 9:13. And their brethren — What a prodigious number of ecclesiastics to perform the Divine service of one temple! no less than one thousand seven hundred and eighty able-bodied men! and this number is reckoned independently of the two hundred and twelve porters who served at the gates of the house of the Lord, 1 Chronicles 9:22.

Leviticus 9:6 — Verse Leviticus 9:6. And the glory of the Lord shall appear — God shall give the most sensible signs of his presence among you; this he did in general by the cloud on the tabernacle, but in this case the particular proof was the fire that came out from before the Lord, and consumed the burnt-offering; see Leviticus 9:23-24.

Leviticus 9:6 — Verso Levítico 9:6. Y la gloria del Señor aparecerá.  Dios dará las señales más sensibles de su presencia entre ustedes; esto lo hizo en general por la nube en el tabernáculo, pero en este caso la particular prueba fue el fuego que salió de delante del Señor, y consumió el holocausto; consulte Levítico 9:23-3.

Leviticus 9:7 — Verse Leviticus 9:7. Make an atonement for thyself — This showed the imperfection of the Levitical law; the high priest was obliged to make an expiation for his own sins before he could make one for the sins of the people. See the use made of this by the apostle, Hebrews 5:3; Hebrews 7:27; Hebrews 9:7.

Leviticus 9:7 — Verso Levítico 9:7. Haz una expiación por ti mismo.  Esto mostró la imperfección de la ley levítica; el sumo sacerdote estaba obligado a hacer una expiación por sus propios pecados antes de poder hacerlo por los pecados del pueblo. Vea el uso que hizo de esto el apóstol, Hebreos 5:3; Hebreos 7:27; Hebreos 9:7.

Ecclesiastes 9:9 — Verse Ecclesiastes 9:9. Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest — Marry prudently, keep faithfully attached to the wife thou hast chosen, and rejoice in the labour of thy hands.Some understand this as the words of the libertine objector: "Live joyfully with the woman whom thou lovest best." But this does not comport so well with the scope of the place.

Ecclesiastes 9:9 — Versículo Eclesiastés 9:9 . Vive gozosamente con la esposa que amas. Cásate con prudencia, mantente fielmente apegado a la esposa que has elegido, y regocíjate en el trabajo de tus manos. Algunos entienden esto como las palabras del objetor libertino: "Vive felizmente con la mujer que más amas". Pero esto no concuerda tan bien con el ámbito del lugar.

Mark 2:16 — Verse Mark 2:16. Sinners — By αμαρτωλοι, the Gentiles or heathens are generally to be understood in the Gospels, for this was a term the Jews never applied to any of themselves, Matthew 9:10; Matthew 9:10.How is it that he eateth — Some very good MSS., several versions, with Chrysostom and Augustin, read, Why doth YOUR MASTER eat?

Mark 2:3 — Verse Mark 2:3. One sick of the palsy — A paralytic person.Matthew 9:2; Matthew 9:2, &c.Borne of four. — Four men, one at each corner of the sofa or couch on which he lay: this sick man appears to have been too feeble to come himself, and too weak to be carried in any other way.

Acts 9:21 — Verse Acts 9:21. Is not this he that destroyed them — οπορθησας. The verb πορθειν has three acceptations in the Greek writers:1. To treat one as an enemy, to spoil him of his goods.2. To lead away captive, to imprison.3. To slay.Paul was properly πορθων, a

Romans 2:28 — Verse 28. For he is not a Jew — A genuine member of the Church of God, who has only an outward profession.Neither is that circumcision — Circumcision is a rite which represents a spiritual thing, viz. the change and purification of the heart, as may be seen, Jeremiah 4:4, Jeremiah 4:6, Jeremiah 4:10; Jeremiah 9:26; Ezekiel 44:7, Ezekiel 44:9.

Romans 2:28 — Versículo 28. Porque él no es judío... Un miembro genuino de la Iglesia de Dios, que tiene solo una profesión externa . Tampoco es que la circuncisión... La circuncisión es un rito que representa una cosa espiritual , a saber, el cambio y purificación del corazón, como se puede ver,Jeremias 4:4 ,Jeremias 4:6 ,Jeremias 4:10 ; Jeremias 9:26 ; Ezequiel 44:7 , Ezequiel 44:9 .

Philippians 4:16 — Verse 16. For even in Thessalonica — While labouring to plant the Church there, he was supported partly by working with his hands, 1 Thessalonians 2:9; 2 Thessalonians 3:7-9; and partly by the contributions sent him from Philippi. Even the Thessalonians had contributed little to his maintenance: this is not spoken to their credit.

Joshua 9:11 — Versículo Josué 9:11 . Por tanto, nuestros mayores.  Todo esto, y lo que sigue hasta el final del versículo Josué 9:13 , era falso , ideado simplemente con el propósito de engañar a los israelitas, y esto lo hicieron para salvar sus propias vidas, ya que esperaban que todos los habitantes de Canaán fueran puestos en libertad . 

Revelation 9:10 — Verse Revelation 9:10. They had tails like unto scorpions — This may refer to the consequences of their victories. They infected the conquered with their pernicious doctrines.Their power was to hurt men five months.] The locusts make their principal ravages during the five summer months. But probably these may be prophetic months, as above, in Revelation 9:5-150 years.

1 Samuel 16:18 — army;3. Fights with and kills Goliath;4. Is received into the king's court,5. Contracts a friendship with Jonathan;6. Incurs Saul's jealousy;7. Retires to his father's house;8. Is after some time sent for by Saul to sooth his melancholy with his harp;9. Again excites Saul's jealousy, who endeavours to smite him with his javelin. This anticipation between the 14th and 23d verse comes in, in the order of time, between verses 9 and 10, 1 Samuel 18:9; 1 Samuel 18:10, where the breach is apparent.

2 Samuel 8:9 — Verse 2 Samuel 8:9. Toi king of Hamath — Hamath is supposed to be the famous city of Emesa, situated on the Orontes, in Syria. This was contiguous to Hadadezer; and led him to wage war with Toi, that he might get possession of his territories. For a comparison of the 10th verse, see 1 Chronicles 18:9.

2 Samuel 8:9 — Versículo 2 Samuel 8:9 . Toi rey de Hamat.  Se supone que Hamat es la famosa ciudad de Emesa , situada en el Orontes , en Siria. Esta era contigua a Hadadezer; y lo llevó a hacer la guerra con Toi, para que pudiera tomar posesión de sus territorios. Para una comparación del versículo 10, véase 1 Crónicas 18:9 .
