Psalms 132:6 — No hay mención en la historia del hecho de que el arca fue "escuchada" en Efrata, o que alguna vez estuvo allí. Se aplica el nombre Ephrata - אפרתה 'ephrâthâh - (1) a una región del país al que posteriormente se le dio el nombre de Belén, Génesis 35:16; Rut 4:11. (2) Correctamente a Belén, una ciudad de Judá, cuyo nombre completo era Belén-Efrata, Génesis 48:7; Miqueas 5:2. (3) Es un nombre propio, 1 Crónicas 2:19, 1 Crónicas 2:5; 1 Crónicas 4:4. (4) Quizás sea lo mismo que Efraín. Compare

Psalms 41:2 — or that the divine favor will be shown to those who deal kindly with others. This principle is often referred to in the Scriptures. See Psalms 1:3, note; Psalms 37:3-4, note; Psalms 37:11, note; Psalms 37:23-26, note; Psalms 37:37, note; compare Mat 5:5; 1 Timothy 4:8. The par ticular application here is, that if any one showed kindness to him that was sick or enfeebled by disease, he might expect that God would interpose in his case under similar circumstances, and would “preserve” him, or “keep

Psalms 42 overview — understanding, εἰς σύνεσιν eis sunesin: to the sons of Kore, τοῖς υἱοῦς Κορέ tois huiois Kore.”So the Latin Vulgate. DeWette renders it, “A poem of the sons of Korah.” The psalms to which this title is prefixed are the Psalms 42:1-11; Psalms 44:0; Psalms 45:0; Psalms 46:1-11; Psalms 47:1-9; Psalms 48:1-14; Psalms 49:0; Psalms 84:1-12; Psalms 85:1-13; Psalms 87:1-7; Psalms 88:0. So far as the title is concerned, it may mean either that the psalms were dedicated to them, or that they were submitted to them

Psalms 42:11 — Why art thou cast down, O my soul? - This closes the second strophe of the psalm, and, with one or two slight and immaterial variations, is the same as that which closes the first Psalms 42:5. In this latter, the word “why” is inserted, and the expression “the salvation of my countenance” occurs instead of “salvations of his countenance,” with the addition of the words “and my God” at the close. The sense, however, is the same; and the verse

Psalms 45:14 — “bridesmaids.”In raiment of needlework - The word used here means properly “something variegated” or “versicolored,” and would here denote a garment of divers colors, or “versicolored raiment.” The word - רקמה riqmâh - occurs in the following places: Judges 5:30, twice, where (as here) it is rendered “needlework;” 1 Chronicles 29:2; Ezekiel 17:3, rendered “divers colors;” and Ezekiel 16:10, Ezekiel 16:13, Ezekiel 16:18; Ezekiel 26:16; Ezekiel 27:7, Ezekiel 27:16, Ezekiel 27:24, where it is rendered “broidered

Psalms 58:2 — from the administration of justice. In all lands people are accustomed to speak of “weighing out” justice; to symbolize its administration by scales and balances; and to express the doing of it as holding an even balance. Compare Job 31:6, note; Daniel 5:27, note; Revelation 6:5, note. Thus interpreted, this verse refers, as Psalms 58:1, to the act of pronouncing judgment; and the idea is that instead of pronouncing a just judgment - of holding an equal balance - they determined in favor of violence

Leviticus 16:8 — The two goats formed a single sin-offering, Leviticus 16:5. To bring out the meaning of the sacrifice it was necessary that the act of a living being should be performed after death. See Leviticus 16:22 note. As this could not possibly be visibly set forth with a single victim, two were employed, as in the

Isaiah 11:10 — declarar el resultado de ese reinado en otros aspectos. El primero es Isaías 11:1, que los "gentiles" serían traídos bajo su reinado; el segundo Isaías 11:14, que sería atendido con la restauración de la gente dispersa de Judea; y el tercero Isaías 11:15, que sería seguido por la destrucción de los enemigos del pueblo de Dios. Habrá una raíz de Jesse - Habrá un brote, brote o vástago de la antigua y decaída familia de Jesse; vea la nota en Isaías 5:1. Chaldee: "Habrá un hijo de los hijos de Jesé".

Isaiah 60 overview — alrededor y contemplar las multitudes que acudían a ella Isaías 60:4. 3. Especificaciones de aquellos que vendrían y participarían en los beneficios del reinado del Mesías. (1) La abundancia del mar vendría. (2) La riqueza de los gentiles Isaías 60:5. (3) Los camellos y dromedarios de Madián, Epha, y todos los que residían en Sheba vendrían con su oro e incienso Isaías 60:6. (4) Los rebaños de Kedar y los carneros de Nebaioth se ofrecerían Isaías 60:7. (5) La multitud sería tan grande como para

Daniel 1:17 — a spirit in man, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.” In the case before us, there is no reason to doubt that the natural powers of these young men had been diligently applied during the three years of their trial Daniel 1:5, and under the advantages of a strict course of temperance; and that the knowledge here spoken of was the result of such an application to their studies. On the meaning of the words “knowledge” and “skill” here, see the notes at Daniel 1:4.In all learning

Daniel 1:2 — Y el Señor le dio a Joacim rey de Judá en su mano - Joacim fue llevado cautivo, y parece que había una intención de llevarlo a Babilonia 2 Crónicas 36:6, pero que por alguna causa no fue removido allí, sino que murió en Jerusalén 2 Reyes 24:5, aunque no fue enterrado honorablemente allí, Jeremias 22:19; Jeremias 36:3. En el segundo libro de Crónicas 2 Crónicas 36:6, se dice que "Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia subió y ató a Joacim en grillos, para llevarlo a Babilonia". Jahn supone que se

Amos 5:18 — days” 2 Peter 3:3-4; Jude 1:18 shall say, “Where is the promise of His coming?” so these said, “let Him make speed and hasten His work, that we way see it, and let the council of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it” Isaiah 5:19. Jeremiah complained; “they say unto me, where is the word of the Lord? let it come now!” Jeremiah 17:15. And God says to Ezekiel, “Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, the days are prolonged, and every vision

Obadiah 1:18 — sacrifice for sin. Does the “house of Joseph” express the same in other words? or does it mean, that, after that first destruction of Jerusalem, Ephraim should be again united with Judah? Asaph unites, as one, “the sons of Jacob and Joseph” Psalms 77:15, Israel and Joseph Psalms 80:1; Israel, Jacob, Joseph Psalms 81:4-5.Zechariah Zechariah 10:6 after the captivity, speaks of “the house of Judah” and “the house of Joseph,” as together forming one whole. Amos, about this same time, twice speaks of Ephraim

Matthew 10:9-15 — See also Mark 6:8-11, and Luke 9:3-5. In both these places the substance of this account is given, though not so particularly as in Matthew. The general subject is the instructions given to the apostles.Matthew 10:9Provide neither gold nor silver, nor brass - This prohibition of gold,

Romans 1:7 — característica que habían mostrado los cristianos romanos. Para el uso de la palabra, como se indicó anteriormente, vea los siguientes pasajes de las Escrituras; Lucas 2:23; Éxodo 13:2, Romanos 11:16 Mateo 7:6; 1 Pedro 1:16; Hechos 9:13; 1 Pedro 2:5; Hechos 3:21, Efesios 3:51 Pedro 2:9; Filipenses 2:15; 1 Juan 3:1. gracia - esta palabra significa correctamente "favor". Se usa a menudo en el Nuevo Testamento, y se emplea en el sentido de la benignidad o la benevolencia; Felicity, o un próspero

Romans 11:32 — concluded ... - The word translated here “concluded” sunekleise, is rendered in the margin “shut them all up together.” It is properly used in reference to those who are shut up in prison, or to those in a city who are shut up by a besieging army; 1 Macc. 5:5; 6:18; 11:65; 15:25; Joshua 6:6; Isaiah 45:1. It is used in the New Testament of fish taken in a net; Luke 5:6, “They enclosed a great multitude of fishes;” Galatians 3:22, “But the Scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise, etc.” In

Romans 11:32 — traducida aquí "concluido" sunekleise, se representa en el margen "callarlos todos juntos". Se usa correctamente en referencia a aquellos que están encerrados en prisión, o aquellos en una ciudad que están encerrados por un ejército sitiador; 1 Macc. 5: 5; 6:18; 11:65; 15:25; Josué 6:6; Isaías 45:1. Se usa en el Nuevo Testamento de peces tomados en una red; Lucas 5:6, "Encerraron una gran multitud de peces"; Gálatas 3:22, "Pero la Escritura ha concluido todo bajo pecado, que la promesa, etc."

Romans 2:16 — arraigned at the bar of judgment. At that time God will judge all in righteousness, the Jew by the Law which he had, and the pagan by the Law which he had.When God shall judge - God is often represented as the Judge of mankind; Deuteronomy 32:36; Psa 50:4; 1 Samuel 2:10; Ecclesiastes 3:17; Romans 3:6; Hebrews 13:4. But this does not militate against the fact that he will do it by Jesus Christ. God has appointed his Son to administer judgment; and it will be not by God directly, but by Jesus Christ

Galatians 6:1 — deliberadamente forma el plan de pecar; él no supone que tal hombre pueda ser cristiano, y que sería apropiado hablar de restaurar a tal hombre. Ye que son espirituales - Quienes están bajo las influencias del Espíritu Santo; vea la nota en Gálatas 5:22. El apóstol, en este versículo, se refiere evidentemente a aquellos que han caído en alguna indulgencia sensual Gálatas 5:19, y dice que aquellos que han escapado de estas tentaciones, y que están bajo las influencias del Espíritu, deben recuperar

Revelation 21 overview — no habrá más muerte, ni pena, ni dolor. Contiene la declaración "general" de lo que será la condición de los redimidos en el mundo futuro. Dios estará allí y toda tristeza cesará. III. Un comando para hacer un registro de estas cosas, Apocalipsis 21:5. IV. Una descripción general de aquellos que deberían morar en ese futuro mundo de bendición, Apocalipsis 21:6. Es para todos los que tienen sed; para todos los que lo desean, y lo anhelan; para todos los que "vencen" a sus enemigos espirituales, que
