Genesis 4:3 — Verse Genesis 4:3. In process of time — מקץ ימים mikkets yamim, at the end of days. Some think the anniversary of the creation to be here intended; it is more probable that it means the Sabbath, on which Adam and his family undoubtedly offered oblations to God,

Esther 4:1 — the king's decree to exterminate the Jews, Mordecai mourns, and clothes himself in sackcloth, 1, 2. The Jews are filled with consternation, 3.

Hatach returns with the information, and also the express desire of Mordecai that she should go instantly to the king, and make supplication in behalf of her people, 7-9.

Job 18:1 — CHAPTER XVIII Bildad, in a speech of passionate invective, accuses Job of impatience and impiety, 1-4; shows the fearful end of the wicked and their posterity; and apparently applies the whole to Job, whom he threatens with the most ruinous end, 5-21. NOTES ON CHAP. XVIIIVerse Job 18:1. Then answered Bildad — The following analysis of this speech,

Psalms 75:1 — PSALM LXXV The psalmist praises God for present mercies, 1; the Lord answers, and promises to judge the people righteously, 2, 3; rebukes the proud and haughty, 4, 5; shows that all authority comes from himself, 4-7; that he will punish the wicked, 8; the psalmist resolves to praise God, 9; and the Most High promises to cast down the wicked, and raise up the righteous, 9, 10. NOTES ON PSALM LXXVThe title is,

Proverbs 30:24 — Verse Proverbs 30:24. There be four things] Of which it is said, they are very little but very wise. 1. The ants. 2. The rabbits. 3. The locusts. 4. The spider.1. The ants show their wisdom by preparing their meat in the summer; seeking for it and storing it when it may

Isaiah 3:10 — Verse Isaiah 3:10. Say ye to the righteous — לצדיק letsaddik, the ל lamed is added here by one MS. and the Chaldee. The righteous is the person,1. Who fears God.2. Departs from evil.3. Walks according to the testimony of God.4. And expects and prepares for a glorious immortality."Pronounce ye." - The reading of this verse is very dubious. The Septuagint for אמרו imru read נאסר neasor, or both, אמרו נאסר imru neasor, and כי לא טוב לנו ki lo tob lanu. Δησωμεν τον δικαιον, ὁτι

Isaiah 3:10 — Versículo Isaías 3:10 . Decid vosotros a los justos. לצדיק letsaddik , el ל lamed se añade aquí por un MS. y el caldeo . El justo es la persona, 1. Quien teme a Dios. 2. Se aparta del mal. 3. Andar conforme al testimonio de Dios. 4. Y espera y se prepara para una gloriosa inmortalidad. "Pronúnciate". - La lectura de este verso es muy dudosa. La Septuaginta para אמרו imru decía נאסר neasor , o ambos, אמרו נאסר imru neasor y כי לא טוב לנו ki lo tob lanu . Δησωμεν τον δικαιον, ὁτι

Daniel 4:1 — document begins with Nebuchadnezzar's acknowledging the hand of God in his late malady, 1-3. It then gives an account of the dream of Nebuchadnezzar, which portended the loss of his kingdom and reason for seven years, on account of his pride and arrogance, 4-18. So it was explained by Daniel, 19-27, and so it was verified by the event, 28-33. It then recites how, at the end of the period fixed by the God of heaven for the duration of his malady, the Chaldean monarch became sensible of his dependence on

Daniel 4:1 — Este documento estatal comienza con Nabucodonosor reconociendo la mano de Dios en su última enfermedad , 1-3. Luego se relata el sueño de Nabucodonosor, que presagiaba la pérdida de su reino y razón por siete años, a causa de su orgullo y arrogancia , 4-18. Así lo explicó Daniel , 19-27, y así lo comprobó el acontecimiento , 28-33. A continuación, se narra cómo, al final del período fijado por el Dios de los cielos para la duración de su enfermedad, el monarca caldeo se hizo consciente de su dependencia

Luke 6:22 — called Nazarenes, and sometimes Christians; and both these names were matter of reproach in the mouths of their enemies. So James (James 2:7) says to the converts, Do they not blaspheme that worthy name by which ye are called? So when St. Paul (in Acts 24:5) is called a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes, the character of a pestilent fellow, and, that of a mover of sedition, is joined to it; and, in Acts 28:22, the Jews say to Paul, As concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken

Luke 6:22 — nazarenos, y a veces cristianos; y ambos nombres eran motivo de reproche en boca de sus enemigos. Así que James ( Santiago 2:7) ldice a los conversos: ¿No blasfeman de ese digno nombre por el que sois llamados? Así que cuando San Pablo (en Hechos 24:5) se le llama cabecilla de la secta de los nazarenos, se le une el carácter de tipo pestilente, y, el de impulsor de la sedición, en Hechos 28:22, los judíos le dicen a Pablo, En cuanto a esta secta, sabemos que en todas partes se habla contra

John 4:22 — they had but an imperfect knowledge of the Deity: besides, as they incorporated the worship of idols with his worship, they might be justly said to worship him whom they did not properly know. See the account of their motley worship, 2 Kings 17:26-34. But after Sanballat had built the temple on Mount Gerizim, the idolatrous worship of the Cutheans and Sepharvites, c., was entirely laid aside the same religious service being performed in the Samaritan temple which was performed in that at Jerusalem.We

John 4:22 — naturaleza y le ofrecemos solo los sacrificios prescritos en la ley. La salvación es de los judíos... Εκ των Ιουδαιων εστιν, La salvación es de los judíos . Salvación aquí parece significar el Salvador , el Mesías , como lo hace Lucas 2:30; Hechos 4:12: y entonces la mujer parece haberlo entendido, Juan 4:25. El Mesías iba a surgir de los judíos; de ellos, la predicación del Evangelio y el conocimiento de la verdad iban a llegar a todas las naciones del mundo. Fue a los judíos a quienes se les

Acts 4:27 — Verse Acts 4:27. There is a parenthesis in this verse that is not sufficiently noticed: it should be read in connection with Acts 4:28, thus: For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, (for to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined

1 Corinthians 7:25 — παρθενος, virgen , para significar una joven pura y soltera ; pero es evidente que la palabra en este lugar significa jóvenes solteros de cualquier sexo, como aparece en 1 Corintios 7:26 ; 1 Corintios 7:27 ; 1 Corintios 7:32 , y de Apocalipsis 14:4 . 1 Corintios 7:26, 1 Corintios 7:27, 1 Corintios 7:32, Apocalipsis 14:4 La palabra παρθενος, virgen , se aplica con frecuencia tanto a hombres como a mujeres. Ver Suidas , bajo la palabra αβελ. ουτοςπαρθενοςκαι δικαιοςυπηρχε, El (Abel) era virgen

Colossians 1:10 — Verse 10. That ye might walk worthy of the Lord — Suitably to your Christian profession, exemplifying its holy doctrines by a holy and useful life. Ephesians 4:1; and on "Philippians 1:27".Unto all pleasing — Doing every thing in the best manner, in the most proper time, and in a becoming spirit. Even a good work may be marred and rendered fruitless by being done improperly, out of season, or in a temper

1 Peter 3:7 — has what the female wants-courage and strength. The one is as good in its place as the other: and by these things God has made an equality between the man and the woman, so that there is properly very little superiority on either side. 1 Thessalonians 4:4.Being heirs together — Both the man and woman being equally called to eternal glory: and as prayer is one great means of obtaining a meetness for it, it is necessary that they should live together in such a manner as to prevent all family contentions,

Revelation 5:6 — knowledge and wisdom: but as these seven eyes are said to be the seven Spirits of God, they seem to denote rather his providence, in which he often employs the ministry of angels; therefore, these are said to be sent forth into all the earth. Revelation 1:4; Revelation 1:4.
