Bible Commentaries

Genesis 35:9 — 9.And God appeared unto Jacob. Moses, having introduced a few words on the death of Deborah, recites a second vision, by which Jacob was confirmed, after his return to Bethel. Once, in this place, God had appeared unto him, when he was on his way into

Exodus 15:9 — 9.The enemy said. He relates the boast of Pharaoh not merely in exultation over him, but to magnify the miracle, whereby God gives over to destruction this wolf intent upon his prey. But there is more force in the language when he introduces the Egyptians

Psalms 114:1 — the prophet informs us that the people whom God purchased at so great a price are no more their own. The opinion of certain expositors, that at that time the tribe of Judah was consecrated to the service of God, according to what is said in Exodus 19:6, and 1 Peter 2:9, appears to me foreign to the prophet’s design. All doubt about the matter is removed by what is immediately subjoined, God’s taking Israel under his rule, which is simply a repetition of the same sentiment in other words.

Psalms 56:9 — 9.When I cry, then shall mine enemies turn back. Here he boasts of victory with even more confidence than formerly, specifying, as it were, the very moment of time when his enemies were to be turned back. He had no sensible evidence of their approaching

Isaiah 22:1 — desde su altura. La razón por la que agrega las palabras, de visión, es bastante clara. El Señor iluminó a toda Judea con su palabra; los profetas estaban continuamente empleados en eso, y esa fue la razón por la que los llamaron videntes. ( 1 Samuel 9:9.) También hay un contraste implícito aquí, porque los valles tienen menos luz que las llanuras abiertas, porque la altura de las montañas intercepta la luz del sol. Ahora, este valle, nos dice, está más iluminado que aquellos países que estuvieron

Isaiah 46:9 — 9.Remember the former things. This is an explanation of the preceding statement; for he expresses more fully what he formerly meant, that is, that God hath testified of himself by sufficiently numerous proofs, and hath shewed what is his nature and greatness;

Isaiah 9:11 — succeed to their wish, Isaiah threatens a new change which will take away all their hope and utterly frustrate their designs, for the Assyrians afterwards took arms and waged war with the Syrians. Accordingly, when Rezin had been slain, (2 Kings 16:9,) that country was entirely ruined. Still more does he heighten this, by adding, he shall mingle; (146) for he means that the Lord will gather together and mingle various enemies whom he will commission to destroy the king of Syria, as the soldiers

Numbers 5:9 — 9.And every offering. Thus far I have brought together the passages, in which Moses treats of the office of the priests, and have briefly expounded them, I will now begin to treat of their rights, i.e., of the honor which God invested them with, that

Matthew 19:30 — perseverance, and at the same time gives warning, that it will be of no avail to runners to have begun with alacrity, if they lose courage in the midst of the course. In like manner Paul also warns us, that not all who run obtain t/re prize, (1 Corinthians 9:24;) and in another passage he exhorts believers, by referring to his own example, to: forget those things which are behind, and press forward to the remaining portion of their course, (Philippians 3:13.) As often, therefore, as we call to mind the

Matthew 2:15 — habla el Señor de esta manera; porque esa liberación fue una especie de nacimiento de la nación. Luego se produjeron abiertamente cartas de adopción, cuando, por la promulgación de la ley, se convirtieron en "la porción del Señor", ( Deuteronomio 32:9,) "un sacerdocio real y una nación santa" ( 1 Pedro 2:9;) cuando se separaron de las otras naciones, y cuando, en resumen, Dios "estableció su tabernáculo" ( Levítico 26:11) para habitar en medio de ellos. Las palabras del profeta importan, que la nación

Matthew 3:10 — Matthew 3:10; Luke 3:9.And now also the axe. After having stripped hypocrites of the covering of a vain confidence, John announces the approaching judgment of God. He had formerly said that, though they were rejected, God would not want a people: and he now adds, that God

Deuteronomy 15:13 — from the avaricious more than they were willing to give. The rule of Paul here applies: “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7.) But, since the Hebrew slaves were brethren, God would not allow them to be placed in a worse condition than hirelings. That He commands them to be furnished out of the wine-press, and floor, and flock, does not mean that they were to be enriched,

Luke 2:9 — 9.And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them He says, that the glory of the Lord (145) shone around the shepherds, by which they perceived him to be an angel. (146) For it would have been of little avail to be told by an angel what is related by Luke,

John 10:9 — 9.If any man enter by me. The highest consolation of believers is, that when they have once embraced Christ, they learn that they are out of danger; for Christ promises to them salvation and happiness. He afterwards divides it into two parts. He shall

Acts 4:9 — 9.If we be judged. Undoubtedly Peter layeth tyranny to the charge of the priests and the scribes, because they examine them unjustly concerning a benefit which deserveth praise, as if he and his fellow had committed some heinous offense. If, saith he,

Romans 10:9 — 9. Eso si quieres confesar, etc. Aquí también hay una alusión, en lugar de una cita correcta y estricta: porque es muy probable que Moisés haya usado la palabra boca, tomando una parte para el todo, en lugar de la palabra, o la vista. Pero no era inadecuado

1 Corinthians 5:6 — Ювенала: … все стадо на поле паршивость одной лишь свиньи сотворяет паршивым И синь виноград с виноградной лозы усвояет. Я сказал: в этом месте, поскольку в других местах Павел, как мы увидим, использует эту поговорку в ином смысле, например в Galatians 5:9.

Philippians 1:17 — — “When they are in any emergency.” (75) “Praevaricatores ” The term is employed by classical writers in the sense of betraying the cause of one’s client, and by neglect or collusion assisting his opponent. See Quinct. 9:2. — Ed. (76) “Si nous nous entendons auec la partie aduerse d’iceluy;” — “If we should connect ourselves with the party opposed to him.”

Titus 2:9 — 9.Servants, that they be subject to their masters It has been already said that Paul merely glances at some things by way of example, and does not explain the whole of these subjects, as if he undertook, expressly, to handle them. Accordingly, when he

1 John 5:9 — 9 Si recibimos el testimonio, o el testimonio, de los hombres que Él prueba, razonando de menor a mayor, cuán desagradecidos son los hombres cuando rechazan a Cristo, quien tiene sido aprobado, como él lo ha relatado, por Dios; porque si en los asuntos
