Bible Commentaries

Ezra 10:6 — The “chamber of Johanan” was probably one of those attached externally to the temple (see 1 Kings 6:5-6). Eliashib was the grandson of Jeshua Ezra 3:2, and was high priest under Nehemiah Nehemiah 3:1. He could assign chambers in the temple to whomever he pleased (see Nehemiah 13:4-5).

Psalms 97:5 — colinas se derritieron como cera ante la presencia del Señor - Parecían fluir como si fueran cera derretida: es decir, no podían pararse ante él . Las cosas más firmes, sólidas y elevadas no eran nada en su presencia. Compare Apocalipsis 20:11; Jueces 5:5; Miqueas 1:4; Nahúm 1:5. El objetivo aquí es describir la sublimidad, la grandeza, la majestad de Dios, como si nada pudiera estar delante de él; como si todo se fuera cuando se acercaba. Quizás haya una alusión general a su gloria y poder como

Song of Solomon 5:13 — Sweet flowers - Better as in the margin, i. e., plants with fragrant leaves and flowers trained on trellis-work.Like lilies - Are lilies dropping liquid myrrh (see the Song of Solomon 5:5 note). Perhaps the fragrance of the flowers, or the delicate curl of the lip-like petals, is here the point of comparison, rather than the color.

Daniel 5:13 — que la reina madre aún lo conociera, quien, tal vez, lo mantuvo en contacto con él debido a sus antiguos servicios. Eres tú que Daniel - Esta es una prueba clara de que Belsasar no estaba familiarizado personalmente con él. Vea la nota en Daniel 5:11. Qué arte de los hijos del cautiverio de Judá - Perteneciente a los de Judá, o aquellos judíos que fueron hechos cautivos y que residen en Babilonia. Vea las notas en Daniel 1:3. No podía ignorar que había judíos en su reino, aunque no conocía

Numbers 2:2 — the family. There would thus be four “standards” only, one for each “camp” of three tribes. The “standard” was probably a solid figure or emblem mounted on a pole, such as the Egyptians used. Tradition appropriates the four cherubic forms (Ezekiel 1:5-12; Revelation 4:7 ff), the lion, man, ox, and eagle, to the camps of Judah, Reuben, Ephraim, and Dan respectively; and this, as to the first, has a certain support from Genesis 49:9 (compare Revelation 5:5), and as to the third, from Deuteronomy 33:17.Far

Deuteronomy 20:5 — The officers dedicated it - See Exodus 5:6 note.Compare the marginal references. The expression is appropriate, because various ceremonies of a religious kind were customary among the Jews on taking possession of a new house. The immunity conferred in this verse lasted, like that in Deuteronomy 20:7 (compare Deuteronomy 24:5), for one year.

Deuteronomy 3:10 — Salchah - Compare Joshua 12:5; 1 Chronicles 5:11, where it is named as belonging to the tribe of Gad. It lies seven hours’ journey to the southeast of Bostra or Bozrah of Moab. As the eastern border city of the kingdom of Bashan it was no doubt strongly fortified.Edrei - Compare Numbers 21:33 note.

John 10:31 — The Jews took up stones - Stoning was the punishment of a blasphemer, Leviticus 24:14-16. They considered him guilty of blasphemy because he made himself equal with God, John 10:33.Again - They had before plotted against his life John 5:16, John 5:18, and once at least they had taken up stones to destroy him, John 8:59.

John 10:31 — Los judíos tomaron piedras - La lapidación fue el castigo de un blasfemo, Levítico 24:14. Lo consideraban culpable de blasfemia porque se hizo igual a Dios, Juan 10:33. De nuevo - Antes habían conspirado contra su vida Juan 5:16, Juan 5:18, y una vez al menos habían tomado piedras para destruirlo, Juan 8:59.

John 4:20 — patriarcas adoraron en Siquem, supusieron que ese era el lugar apropiado para erigir el templo. Decís - Ye judíos. En Jerusalén - El lugar donde se construyó el templo. Esto fue construido de acuerdo con la promesa y el mandato de Dios, Deuteronomio 12:5, Deuteronomio 12:11. Al construir esto, David y Salomón estaban bajo la dirección divina, 2 Samuel 7:2, 2 Samuel 7:13; 1 Reyes 5:5, 1 Reyes 5:12; 1 Reyes 8:15. Como se contemplaba en la ley de Moisés que no debería haber un solo lugar para ofrecer

Acts 7:49 — Heaven is my throne - See the notes on Matthew 5:34.Earth is my footstool - See the notes on Matthew 5:35.What house ... - What house or temple can be large or magnificent enough for the dwelling of Him who made all things?The place of my rest - My home, my abode, my fixed seat or habitation. Compare Psalms 95:11.

Romans 14:17 — teaching of the gospel; Titus 2:12; Compare Romans 8:13; 1 Peter 2:11. Thus, it is said 1 John 2:29, “Everyone that doeth righteousness is born of God;” 1 John 3:10, “Whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God;” compare 1Jo 3:7; 1 Corinthians 15:34; 2 Corinthians 3:9; 2 Corinthians 6:7, 2 Corinthians 6:14; Ephesians 5:9; Ephesians 6:14; 1 Timothy 6:11; 1 Peter 2:24; Ephesians 4:24. He that is a righteous man, whose characteristic it is to lead a holy life, is a Christian. If his great aim is

Romans 4:21 — And being fully persuaded - Thoroughly or entirely convinced; Luke 1:1; Romans 14:5; 2 Timothy 4:5, 2 Timothy 4:17.He was able - Compare Genesis 18:14. This was not the only time in which Abraham evinced this confidence. His faith was equally implicit and strong when he was commanded to sacrifice his promised son; Hebrews 11:19.

Romans 4:21 — Y siendo completamente persuadido - Completamente o completamente convencido; Lucas 1:1; Romanos 14:5; 2 Timoteo 4:5, 2 Timoteo 4:17. Pudo - Comparar Génesis 18:14. Este no fue el único momento en que Abraham mostró esta confianza. Su fe era igualmente implícita y fuerte cuando se le ordenó sacrificar a su hijo prometido; Hebreos 11:19.

Judges 3:3 — of the five Philistine cities. The title is probably of Phoenician origin.Joshua appears to have smitten and subdued the Hivites as far north as Baal-Gad, in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon Joshua 11:17; Joshua 12:7, but no further Joshua 13:5. There was an unsubdued Hivite population to the north of Baal-hermon (probably Baal-Gad under Hermon, since it is not synonymous with Hermon; see 1 Chronicles 5:23), to the entering in of Hamath: i. e. in the fertile valley of Coele-Syria. Hamath is

Jude 1:19 — Estos son los que se separan - Es decir, de sus hermanos y del trabajo de benevolencia y verdad. Compare Romanos 16:17; Jueces 5:16, Jueces 5:23. Sensual - Bajo la influencia de grandes pasiones y apetitos. Al no tener el espíritu - El Espíritu Santo, o el espíritu de la verdadera religión.

2 Samuel 5:17 — The hold - Not the same place which is so named in 2Sa 5:7, 2 Samuel 5:9, but probably the cave (or hold) of Adullam 2 Samuel 23:13. The invasion most probably took place before David had completed his buildings in the city of David; and is probably referred to in 2 Samuel 23:8-17.
