Genesis 37:1-36 — - Joseph Was Sold into Egypt17. דתין dotayı̂n Dothain, “two wells?” (Gesenius)25. נכאת neko't “tragacanth” or goat’s-thorn gum, yielded by the “astragalus gummifer”, a native of Mount Lebanon. צרי tsērı̂y “opobalsamum,” the resin of the balsam tree, growing in Gilead, and having healing qualities. לט loṭ, λῆδον lēdon, “ledum,

Daniel 7:6 — as having the following characteristics:(1) As next in dignity to the lion - of the same general nature. Compare Bochart, Hieroz. P. I. lib. iii. c. vii. Thus the lion and the panther, or leopard, are often united in the Scriptures. Compare Jeremiah 5:6; Hosea 13:7. See also in the Apocrypha, Ecclesiasticus 28:23. So also they are united in Homer, r Ὄυτε οἶν παρδάλιος τόσσον μένος, ὄυτε λέοντος. Oute oun pardalios tosson menos, oute leontos. “Neither had the leopard nor the lion such strength.”(2)

Micah 4:13 — will make her that halteth, a remnant, placing her among the elect and holy, and her that was cast off strong; for Christ giveth oft to such souls great richness of divine graces, so that “where sin abounded, grace” should “much more abound” Romans 5:20. Rib.: “To it, when enlightened and purified by affliction and by repentance, it is promised, that its Lord, the Great King, shall come to it, and again reign in it, which is the great bliss of souls in grace. For then doth the soul really reign,

Zechariah 9:1 — officers and envoys, , was betrayed, but so opened its gates to his general, Parmenio. Zidon, a city renowned for its antiquity and its founders, surrendered freely; Tyre, here specially marked out, was taken after a 7 months’ siege; Gaza too resisted for 5 months, was taken, and, as it was said, ‘plucked up.’” And Damascus shall be the rest thereof - God’s judgment fell first upon Damascus. But the word “resting-place” is commonly used of quiet peaceful resting, especially as given by God to Israel; of

Ephesians 5:33 — Nevertheless - The apostle here resumes the subject which he had been discussing in Ephesians 5:21-29, and says that it was the duty of every man to love his wife as he did himself. This was the main topic, from which he had been diverted by the discussion respecting the love which the Redeemer had shown for his church.And the wife see that she

Philippians 1:1 — 1:7.With the bishops - σὺν επισκόποις sun episkopois; see the notes, Acts 20:28. The word used here occurs in the New Testament only in the following places: Acts 20:28, translated “overseers;” and Philippians 1:1; 1 Timothy 3:2; Titus 1:7; 1 Peter 2:25, in each of which places it is rendered as “bishop.” The word properly means an inspector, overseer, or guardian, and was given to the ministers of the gospel because they exercised this care over the churches, or were appointed to oversee their interests.

Titus 3:5 — to baptism, and whether anything different is intended by it from what is meant by the succeeding phrase - “renewing of the Holy Ghost.” - The word rendered “washing” (λουτρόυ loutrou) occurs in the New Testament only in this place and in Ephesians 5:26, where also it is rendered “washing” - “That he might sanctify and cleanse it (the church) with the washing of water by the word.” The word properly means “a bath;” then water for bathing; then the act of bathing, washing, ablution. Passow and Robinson.

Hebrews 10:10 — Redentor se hizo obediente hasta la muerte y estuvo dispuesto a ofrecer su cuerpo como sacrificio por el pecado. A través de la ofrenda del cuerpo - Como sacrificio. Un cuerpo recién adaptado a tal propósito había sido preparado para él; Hebreos 10:5. Era perfectamente sagrado; estaba tan organizado que era muy sensible al sufrimiento; era la morada de la Deidad encarnada. De una vez por todas - En el sentido de que no se volverá a ofrecer; ver las notas en Hebreos 9:28. Estos ideales se repitieron

Hebrews 10:25 — properly refer to that event as to any other. It is a word which would be likely to suggest the idea of distress, calamity, or judgment of some kind, for so it is often used in the Scriptures; comp Psa 27:13; 1 Samuel 26:10; Jeremiah 30:7; Ezekiel 21:5; notes Isaiah 2:12.(2) Such a period was distinctly predicted by the Saviour, and the indications which would precede it were clearly pointed out; see Matthew 24:0. That event was then so near that the Saviour said that “that generation would not pass”

James 1:6 — Pero que pregunte con fe - Vea los pasajes mencionados en Santiago 1:5. Compare la nota Mateo 7:7 y la nota Hebreos 11:6. No podemos esperar obtener ningún favor de Dios si no hay fe; y donde, en lo que respecta a la sabiduría necesaria para guiarnos, estamos seguros de que está de acuerdo con su voluntad de concedernos,

James 2:14 — tenemos ante nosotros, afirma implícitamente que la fe no se "aprovechará" en absoluto a menos que esté acompañada de una vida santa, y esta doctrina que él ilustra en los siguientes versículos, vea el análisis de este capítulo; e Introducción, Sección 5, (2). Para una interpretación adecuada de este pasaje, debe observarse que el punto de vista desde el cual el apóstol ve este tema no es antes de que un hombre se convierta, preguntando de qué manera puede ser justificado ante Dios, o sobre qué base

James 2:5 — responderá a más propósitos, y logrará fines más valiosos para el hombre, que la riqueza de las Indias: y esto los pobres pueden tener lo mismo que los ricos. Compare Apocalipsis 2:9. Y herederos del reino ... - Margen, "eso". Compare las notas en Mateo 5:3.

James 5:8 — preocupes; pero soporta con constancia todo lo que está puesto sobre ti, hasta que llegue el momento de tu liberación. Para la venida del Señor se acerca - Comparar Apocalipsis 22:1, Apocalipsis 22:12, Apocalipsis 22:2; las notas en 1 Corintios 15:51. Es claro, creo, desde este lugar, que el apóstol esperaba que lo que entendió por "la venida del Señor" fuera a ocurrir pronto; porque iba a ser aquello por lo cual obtendrían liberación de las pruebas que luego soportaron. Ver Santiago 5:7. No

1 Peter 1:2 — term. This word has reference to the act of selecting them, without throwing any light on the question why it was done. See Matthew 24:22, Matthew 24:24, Matthew 24:31; Mark 13:20; Luke 18:7; Romans 8:33; Colossians 3:12. Compare the notes at John 15:16. The meaning is, that God had, on some account, a preference for them above others as his people, and had chosen them from the midst of others to be heirs of salvation. The word should be properly understood as applied to the act of choosing them,

1 Peter 1:20 — decir, fue preordenado o predeterminado, que él debería ser el gran sacrificio de lapidación por el pecado. Sobre el significado de la palabra "preordenado" (προγινώσκω proginōskō,) ver Romanos 8:29. Se representa la palabra que sabía, Hechos 26:5; foreknew y foreknow, Romanos 8:29; Romanos 11:2; predestinado, 1 Pedro 1:2; y saber antes, 2 Pedro 2:17. No ocurre en otro lugar en el Nuevo Testamento. El sentido es que el plan se formó y se hicieron los arreglos para la expiación antes de que

1 Peter 3:18 — to follow.The just for the unjust - The one who was just, (δίκαιος dikaios,) on account of, or in the place of, those who were unjust, (ὑπὲρ ἀδίκων huper adikōn;) or one who was righteous, on account of those who were wicked. Compare the Romans 5:6 note; 2 Corinthians 5:21 note; Hebrews 9:28 note. The idea on which the apostle would particularly fix their attention was, that he was just or innocent. Thus, he was an example to those who suffered for well-doing.That he might bring us to God -

1 John 3:4 — perhaps in view of the fact stated in 1 John 3:3, that everyone who has the hope of heaven will aim to be holy like the Saviour. To confirm this, he shows them that, as a matter of fact, those who are born of God do lead lives of obedience, 1 John 3:5-10; and this he introduces by showing what is the nature of sin, in the verse before us. The considerations by which he would deter them from indulging in sin are the following: (a)All sin is a violation of the law of God, 1 John 3:4; (b)The very object

Revelation 1:12 — Apocalipsis 1:2 que los siete portadores de la lámpara estaban destinados a representar a las siete iglesias. La luz se usa a menudo en las Escrituras como un emblema de la verdadera religión; Los cristianos están representados como "la luz del mundo" ( Mateo 5:14; compare Filipenses 2:15; Juan 8:12), y una iglesia cristiana puede ser representada como un luz de pie en medio de la oscuridad circundante.

Revelation 22:19 — la parte que podría haber tenido, o que profesó tener en ese libro. Tal corrupción de los oráculos divinos demostraría que no tenían una religión verdadera, y serían excluidos del cielo. En la frase "libro de la vida", vea las notas en Apocalipsis 3:5. Y fuera de la ciudad santa - Descrito en Apocalipsis 21. No se le permitiría entrar a esa ciudad; él no tendría parte entre los redimidos. Y de las cosas que están escritas en este libro - Las promesas que se hacen; Las glorias que se describen.

Revelation 7:13 — al comienzo de un discurso, donde no se ha dicho nada, como si fuera una respuesta a algo que se podría decir sobre el tema; o a algo que pasa por la mente de otro; o algo en el caso bajo consideración que sugiera una investigación. Compare Isaías 65:24; Daniel 2:26; Hechos 5:8. Por lo tanto, se usa aquí. John miraba al anfitrión y reflexionaba sobre el estado de las cosas; y al tren de pensamiento que pasaba por su mente, el ángel respondió con una pregunta sobre una parte de ese anfitrión. El
