Genesis 13:1-18 — llegado a su justo resultado en la confesión y la súplica. El sentido de acogida con Dios, que antes había experimentado en estos lugares de encuentro con Dios, ahora lo ha recuperado. El espíritu de adopción, por tanto, habla dentro de él. Génesis 13:5 la colisión Lot ahora también abundaba en la riqueza del Oriente. Los dos opulentos jeques (ancianos, cabezas de familia) ya no pueden vivir juntos. Sus siervos entran en conflicto. El temperamento carnal sale entre sus dependientes. Tales disputas

Job 1:22 — intelligent God, and in the feeling that he has a “right” to remove what he has given us. It is his; and may be taken away when he pleases. It may be, and should be yielded, without a complaint - and to do this “because” God wills it, is true resignation.(5) We see the true source of “comfort” in trials. It is not in the belief that things are regulated by chance and hap-hazard; or even that they are controlled by physical laws. We may have the clearest philosophical view of the mode in which tempests

Job 13:26 — and of placing them in black array before the guilty man; and of causing them to seize with a giant’s grasp upon the soul, is a power such as God alone can wield, and shows at once that there is a God, and that he rules in the hearts of people. And(5) If God holds this power now, he will hold it in the world to come. The forgotten sins of youth, and the sins of age, will be remembered then. The sinner walks over a volcano. It may be now calm and still. Its base may be crowned with verdure, its sides

Job 16:8 — Chaldee (קמט qâmaṭ) means to wrinkle, or collect in wrinkles; and is applied to anything that is “contracted,” or rough. It is applied in the form קימט qâymaṭ to the pupil of the eye as being “contracted,” as in the declaration in Derek ‘Erets, c. 5, quoted by Castell. “The world is like the eye; where the ocean that surrounds the world is white; the world itself is black; the pupil is Jerusalem, and the image in the pupil is the sanctuary.” Probably the true notion of the word is to be found in

Job 19:27 — shall myself behold him. He will at length come forth, and I shall be permitted to see him, and shall have the delightful assurance that he settles this controversy in my favor, and declares that I am his friend. Job was thus permitted to see God Job 42:5, and hear his voice in his favor. He spake to him from the whirlwind Job 38:1, and pronounced the sentence in his favor which he had desired.And not another - Margin, a stranger. So in the Hebrew. The meaning is, that his own eyes would be permitted

Job 36:33 — noise, or outcry, and so it is rendered here by Gesenius, “He makes known to him his thunder, that is, to man, or to his enemies.” Or the word may mean “his friend,” as the word רע rêa‛ is often used; Job 2:11; Job 19:21; Proverbs 27:17; Song of Solomon 5:16; Hosea 3:1. Or it may denote “will, thought, desire;” Psalms 139:2, Psalms 139:17. A choice must be made between these different meanings according to the view entertained of the scope of the passage. To me it seems that the word ““friend”” will

Psalms 22 overview — and crushed; he seemed to be poured out like water, and all his bones were out of joint; his heart was melted like wax; his strength was dried up like a potsherd; his tongue clave to his jaws, and he was brought into the dust of death, Psalms 22:14-15. “Fourth.” His enemies pierced his hands and his feet, Psalms 22:16. “Fifth.” They stripped him of his raiment, and parted his garments among themselves,Psalms 22:18; Psalms 22:18.II. His consolations or supports in his trials. These are scattered through

Isaiah 53:11 — he endured. The word rendered here ‘travail’ (עמל ‛âmâl), denotes properly labor, toil; wearisome labor; labor and toil which produce exhaustion; and hence, sometimes vexation, sorrow, grief, trouble. It is rendered ‘labor’ Psalms 90:10; Psalms 105:44; Jeremiah 20:18; Ecclesiastes 2:11-20; ‘perverseness’ Numbers 21:21; sorrow’ Job 3:10; ‘wickedness’ Job 4:8; ‘trouble’ Job 5:6-7; Psalms 73:5; ‘mischief’ Job 15:35; Psalms 7:13; Psalms 10:7-14; Psalms 94:20; ‘travail,’ meaning labor, or toil Ecclesiastes

Daniel 7:23-27 — implicar que esperamos un cumplimiento tan exacto, o una postración de tres soberanías por el nuevo poder que surgiría. (f) Sería orgulloso, ambicioso y particularmente arrogante contra Dios: "y él hablará grandes palabras contra el Altísimo", Daniel 7:25. El Chaldee aquí presentado contra - לצד l e tsad - significa, literalmente, en o contra la parte de y luego en contra. Vulgata contra; Griego πρὸς pros. Esto se cumpliría en alguien que blasfemara a Dios directamente; o quién sería rebelde contra

Joel 3:18 — soil, save only in the desert of Arabia.” It does not decay ; and when old becomes like ebony . Of it the ark of God was made, its staves, the table of showbread, the tabernacle and its pillars, the altar for burnt-offerings, and of incense Exodus 25:5, Exodus 25:10, Exodus 25:13, Exodus 25:23, Exodus 25:28; Exodus 26:15, Exodus 26:26, Exodus 26:32, Exodus 26:37; Exodus 27:1, Exodus 27:6; Exodus 30:1; Exodus 35:7, Exodus 35:24; Exodus 36:20, Exodus 36:31, Exodus 36:36; Exodus 37:1, Exodus 37:4,

Habakkuk 2:4 — Semilla, en quien todas las naciones del mundo deberían ser bendecidas; o en el acto culminante de ofrecer a ese hijo a Dios, sabiendo que debería recibirlo de regreso, incluso de entre los muertos. En general, era uno y el mismo principio. Según Génesis 15:6, "Su creencia le fue contada por justicia", aunque la instancia inmediata de esa fe no fue directamente espiritual. En esto estaba lo bueno y lo malo de Israel. Éxodo 4:31: "la gente creía". Éxodo 14:31: "creyeron al Señor y a su siervo Moisés".

Matthew 17:24-27 — tu maestro? - Este homenaje fue voluntario y, por lo tanto, le preguntaron si tenía la costumbre de pagar impuestos por el mantenimiento del templo. Peter respondió que era su costumbre pagar todos los impuestos habituales de la nación. Mateo 17:25 Jesús lo impidió - Es decir, Jesús comenzó a hablar antes que Pedro, o habló antes de que Pedro le dijera lo que había dicho. Esto implica que, aunque no estuvo presente con Pedro cuando dio la respuesta, Jesús conocía lo que había dicho. Prevenir

Matthew 18:35 — particulars of the general truth which he meant to teach: 1.That our sins are great. 2.That God freely forgives them. 3.That the offences committed against us by our brethren are comparatively small. 4.That we should therefore most freely forgive them. 5.That if we do not, God will be justly angry with us, and punish us.From your hearts - That is, not merely in words, but really and truly to feel and act toward him as if he had not offended us.Trespasses - Offences, injuries. Words and actions designed

Matthew 2:1 — Christ, was a small town about six miles south of Jerusalem. The word “Bethlehem” denotes “house of bread” - perhaps given to the place on account of its great fertility. It was also called Ephrata, a word supposed likewise to signify fertility, Genesis 35:19; Ruth 4:11; Psalms 132:6. It was called the city of David Luke 2:4, because it was the city of his nativity, 1Sa 16:1, 1 Samuel 16:18. It was called Bethlehem of Judea, to distinguish it from a town of the same name in Galilee, Joshua 19:15. The

Matthew 2:1 — era un pequeño pueblo a unas seis millas al sur de Jerusalén. La palabra "Belén" denota "casa de pan", tal vez dada al lugar debido a su gran fertilidad. También se llamaba Efrata, una palabra que también se supone que significa fertilidad, Génesis 35:19; Rut 4:11; Salmo 132:6. Se llamaba la ciudad de David Lucas 2:4, porque era la ciudad de su natividad, 1Sa 16: 1 , 1 Samuel 16:18 . Fue llamado Belén de Judea, para distinguirlo de una ciudad del mismo nombre en Galilea, Josué 19:15. El suelo

Matthew 21:33-46 — Persia at present, is about 8 feet square and 4 feet high. In this the grapes are thrown and “trodden” by men, and the juice runs into the large receptacle or cistern below. See the notes at Isaiah 63:2-3.And built a tower - See also the notes at Isaiah 5:2. In Eastern countries at present, these towers are often 80 feet high and 30 feet square. They were for the keepers, who defended the vineyards from thieves and animals, especially from foxes, Song of Solomon 1:6; Song of Solomon 2:15. Professor Hackett

Matthew 21:33-46 — cuadrados y 4 pies de altura. En esto, las uvas son lanzadas y "trodden" por los hombres, y el jugo se ejecuta en el gran receptáculo o cisterna a continuación. Vea las notas en Isaías 63:2-3. y construyó una torre - Ver también las notas en Isaías 5:2Cantares de los Cantares 1:6; Cantares de los Cantares 2:15. El profesor Hackett (ilustraciones de las Escrituras, pp. 171, 172) dice de tales torres: Me llamaron la atención primero, ya que me acercaba a Belén del sureste. Aparecieron en casi todos

1 Timothy 6:5 — show that he regarded them as inculcating truth, or to patronize their doctrines. From such people, as having any claim to the character of Christians, every man should withdraw with feelings of unutterable pity and loathing. This passage 1 Timothy 6:1-5 is often appealed to by the advocates and apologists for slavery, to prove that Christianity countenances that institution, and that no direct attempt should be made by the ministers of the gospel, or other Christians, to show the evil of the institution,

2 Timothy overview — others, maintain that it was written during the first imprisonment, and that it was sent about the same time as the Epistles to the Ephesians, Colossians, Philippians, and Philemon. The reasons for this opinion may be found in Hug’s Introduction, pp. 556-559, and in Lardner, vol. 6, pp. 38-72. It is not consistent with the design of these Notes to go at length into an examination of this question, and it is not material in order to an exposition of the Epistle.After considering the reasonings of Lardner

Revelation 20 overview — Analysis Of The ChapterThis chapter Revelation 20:1-15, like Revelation 16:12-21, Rev. 17–19, pertains to the future, and discloses things which are yet to occur. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, for the reason stated in the notes on Revelation 16:16, that much obscurity should hang over it, nor
