Exodus 7:13 — Verse Exodus 7:13. And he hardened Pharaoh's heart — ויחזק לב פרעה vaiyechezah leb Paroh, "And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened," the identical words which in Exodus 7:22 are thus translated, and which should have been rendered in the same way here, lest the hardening, which was evidently the effect of his own obstinate shutting of his eyes against the truth, should be attributed to God. Exodus 4:21.

Psalms 119:112 — brillaba, era necesario que caminara mientras la luz brillaba. Él por lo tanto:  1°. Se obliga a sí mismo por un juramento o voto: "Yo he jurado". 2°. Será fiel a su juramento: "Lo cumpliré". 3°. No simplemente admirar, sino guardar la palabra de Dios. 4°. No sólo sus promesas , sino sus juicios justos . 2. Y esto lo hará en todas las circunstancias, incluso en la aflicción extrema . Luego le pide dos cosas al Señor. 1°. Que "aceptaría las ofrendas voluntarias de su boca". Todas sus alabanzas, acciones

Psalms 129:8 — referencia a los saludos que daban y devolvían los segadores en el tiempo de la siega . Encontramos que era costumbre, cuando el amo venía a ellos al campo, decir a los segadores, ¡ El Señor esté con ustedes ! y que respondan, ¡ El Señor te bendiga ! Rut 2:4 . Que su tierra quede desolada, para que nunca más aparezca en ella mies. Ningún intercambio de bendiciones entre dueños y segadores. Esto ha sucedido literalmente: Babilonia está completamente destruida; ninguna cosecha crece cerca del lugar donde

Isaiah 61:1 — de la profecía ilustrada por una figura tomada del reino vegetal, 11. NOTAS SOBRE EL CAP. LXI Versículo Isaías 61:1 . El Espíritu del Señor Dios está sobre mí - "El Espíritu de JEHOVÁ está sobre mí". La Septuaginta, la Vulgata y San Lucas ( Lucas 4:18 ) y un manuscrito y dos ediciones antiguas omiten la palabra אדני Adonai, el Señor ; que probablemente fue añadido al texto a través de la superstición de los judíos, para evitar que la pronunciación de la palabra יהוה Jehová siguiera.

Numbers 4:20 — Verse Numbers 4:20. When the holy things are covered — Literally, כבלע keballa, when they are swallowed down; which shows the promptitude with which every thing belonging to the holy of holies was put out of sight, for these mysteries must ever be treated with the deepest reverence; and indeed without this they could not have been to them the representatives of heavenly realities. See the concluding note.

Matthew 1:11 — Versículo Mateo 1:11 . Josías engendró a Jeconias.  Hay tres dificultades considerables en este versículo. 1. Josías no fue el padre de Jeconías, solo fue el abuelo de ese príncipe: 1 Crónicas 3:14-13 . 2. Jeconías no tenía hermanos ; al menos, ninguno está registrado. 3. Josías murió 20 años antes de que ocurriera el cautiverio babilónico, y por lo tanto, Jeconías y sus hermanos no pudieron haber sido engendrados en la época en que fueron llevados

Matthew 10:5 — Verse Matthew 10:5. These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded — To be properly qualified for a minister of Christ, a man must be,1. filled with the spirit of holiness;2. called to this particular work;3. instructed in its nature, c. and,4. commissioned to go forth, and testify the Gospel of the grace of God.These are four different gifts which a man must receive from God by Christ Jesus. To these let him add all the human qualifications he can possibly attain; as in his arduous work

Matthew 10:5 — Verso Mateo 10:5. Estos doce Jesús envió y ordenó... Para estar debidamente calificado para un ministro de Cristo, un hombre debe ser, 1. lleno del espíritu de santidad; 2. llamado a este trabajo en particular; 3. instruido en su naturaleza y, 4. comisionado para ir adelante , y testificar el Evangelio de la gracia de Dios. Estos son cuatro dones diferentes que un hombre debe recibir de Dios por medio de Cristo Jesús. A estos, que agregue todas las calificaciones humanas que posiblemente

Matthew 19:28 — of glory, by those who continued faithful to Christ in his sufferings and death.Judging, κρινοντες. Kypke has shown that κρινεσθαι is to be understood in the sense of governing, presiding, holding the first or most distinguished place. Thus, Genesis 49:16, Dan shall JUDGE his people, i.e. shall preside in, or rule over them shall occupy a chief place among the tribes. It is well known that the Judges among the Jews were moderators, captains, chief, or head men. The sense therefore of our Lord's words

Matthew 19:28 — continuaron fieles a Cristo en sus sufrimientos y muerte.  Juzgando.  κρινοντες. Kypke ha demostrado que κρινεσθαι debe entenderse en el sentido de gobernar, presidir, sostener el primer o la mayoría de lugar distinguido . Por lo tanto, Génesis 49:16, Dan JUEZ su gente , es decir, presidirá en, o regla sobre ellos ocupará un lugar principal entre las tribus. Es bien sabido que los Jueces entre los judíos eran moderadores, capitanes, jefe o jefe hombres. Por lo tanto, el sentido

Joshua 16:1 — CHAPTER XVI Borders of the children of Joseph, 1-4. The borders of the Ephraimites, 5-9. The Canaanites dwell tributary among them, 10. NOTES ON CHAP. XVIVerse Joshua 16:1. The children of Joseph — Ephraim and Manasseh, and their descendants. The limits of the tribe of Ephraim extended along the borders of Benjamin and Dan, from Jordan on the east to the Mediterranean on the west.

Judges 12:4 — Verse Judges 12:4. And fought with Ephraim — Some commentators suppose that there were two battles in which the Ephraimites were defeated: the first mentioned in the above clause; and the second occasioned by the taunting language mentioned in the conclusion of the verse, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim. Where the point of this reproach lies, or what is the reason of it, cannot be easily ascertained.

Judges 13:4 — Verse Judges 13:4. Beware - drink not wine — As Samson was designed to be a Nazarite from the womb, it was necessary that, while his mother carried and nursed him, she should live the life of a Nazarite, neither drinking wine nor any inebriating liquor, nor eating any kind of forbidden meat. See the account of the Nazarite and his vow, see in Clarke's notes on "Numbers 6:2", &c.

Judges 21:4 — Verse Judges 21:4. Built there an altar — This affords some evidence that this was not a regular place of worship, else an altar would have been found in the place; and their act was not according to the law, as may be seen in several places of the Pentateuch. But there was neither king nor law among them, and they did whatever appeared right in their own eyes.

Judges 4:21 — Verse Judges 4:21. A nail of the tent — One of the spikes by which they fasten to the ground the cords which are attached to the cloth or covering.He was fast asleep and weary. — As he lay on one side, and was overwhelmed with sleep through the heat and fatigues of the day, the piercing of his temples must have in a moment put him past resistance.

Judges 4:3 — Verse Judges 4:3. Nine hundred chariots of iron — Chariots armed with iron scythes, as is generally supposed; they could not have been made all of iron, but they might have been shod with iron, or had iron scythes projecting from the axle on each side, by which infantry might be easily cut down or thrown into confusion. The ancient Britons are said to have had such chariots.

Ruth 1:17 — Verse Ruth 1:17. The Lord do so to me, and more — May he inflict any of those punishments on me, and any worse punishment, if I part from thee till death. And it appears that she was true to her engagement; for Naomi was nourished in the house of Boaz in her old age, and became the fosterer and nurse of their son Obed, Ruth 4:15-16.
