Genesis 33:18 — regreso. Posteriormente se llamó Sichem, y Sichar, Juan IV. 5 y Naplosa. Salim, mencionó a Juan iii. 23, probablemente estaba más al este. Algunos traducen: "Vino muy sano a la ciudad de Siquem"; donde, dice Demetrio, vivió diez años, Eusebio, præp. ix. 21, después de haber estado seis meses en Socoth. (Calmet) &mdash- Esto parece muy probable, ya que Dina se encontró con su desgracia un poco antes de que él abandonara el país; y como tenía seis años cuando vino de Harán, tendría unos 15 cuando empezó
Genesis 35:29 — Gastado. Vivió 42 años, después de haber bendecido a Jacob. &mdash Lleno de días, bastante satisfecho. Cedat uti conviva satur. (Hor. [¿Horacio?] Sat. i. 1.) Fue una de las figuras más brillantes de Jesucristo, debido a su nacimiento milagroso, su nombre, su voluntad de ser sacrificado, el matrimonio con una mujer buscada a gran distancia, etc. . (Calmet) &mdash- Esaú, que siempre había mostrado un gran
Exodus 25:23 — público cada día de reposo, los israelitas hicieron profesión de que estaban en deuda por su comida con la providencia de Dios; y en agradecimiento, le ofreció este sacrificio, con incienso y vino, ver. 29. Solo los sacerdotes debían comer estos panes (1 Reyes xxi.) Al final de la semana. (Tirino)
Exodus 25:38 — más joven obsequiaron uno al pritaneo de Atenas, que tenía 365 lámparas. Se pararon en el suelo y quemaron aceite, siendo lo más necesario, ya que los templos antiguos generalmente no tenían ventanas. Los egipcios, según Clemente de Alejandría (strom. 1,) fueron los primeros que los introdujeron en sus templos. (Calmet) &mdash- Salomón puso diez candeleros, cinco al norte y cinco al sur del lugar santo, 3 Reyes vii. 49.
Numbers 11:15 — como si Moisés se dirigiera a una mujer; y esta absurda peculiaridad se explica más absurdamente, diciendo que Moisés estaba "tan exasperado durante su discurso al Ser divino, ¡que era incapaz de pronunciar ambas sílabas!" El mismo error ocurre [en] 1 Reyes xxiv. 19. (Kennicott, i. 412.) Dios no reprende a Moisés como culpable de falta de respeto o pusilanimidad. (Haydock) &mdash- El santo reza con la debida sumisión a la voluntad del Altísimo. (Worthington)
Deuteronomy 16:18 — Magistrados, ( magistros,) "maestros"; personas instruidas en derecho, que pueden ayudar a los jueces con su abogado en cualquier emergencia. Shotrim en hebreo , "oficiales, heraldos, lictores", etc., cap. I. 15. (Haydock) &mdash Los Rabinos mencionan tres tribunales de los judíos: 1. El Sanedrín, formado por setenta jueces, con un príncipe a la cabeza; 2. los veintitrés jueces, que residían en ciudades considerables; 3. El tribunal de tres jueces, que administraba
Deuteronomy 31:11 — las mujeres, ya que también estaban obligados a escucharlo. Encontramos que Josías leyó en voz alta en el templo las palabras del pacto, que se han descubierto recientemente, 4 Reyes xxiii. 2. (Calmet) &mdash- Pero Esdras, un levita, hizo lo mismo; (1 Esdras viii. 2,) y el mandato parece estar dirigido principalmente a los sacerdotes, de cuyo número no se excluyó a Moisés, Salmo xcviii. 6. (Haydock)
Luke 12:14 — or his Church had not authority to judge, as the Anabaptists foolishly pretend; for he was appointed by the Father, the King of kings, and the Lord and Judge of all. He only wished to keep himself as much detached as possible from worldly concerns: 1. Not to favour the opinion of the carnal Jews, who expected a powerful king for the Messias. 2. To shew that the ecclesiastical ministry was entirely distinct from political government, and that he and his ministers were sent not to take care of earthly
Luke 12:29 — And be not lifted up on high.[1] St. Augustine (lib. ii. QQ. Evang. q. 29. t. 3, part 4, p. 257.) expounds it thus: do not value yourselves for the plenty and variety you have of things to eat. Others, by the Greek, look upon it as a metaphor, taken from meteors in the air, that appear
Luke 22:17 — Taken the chalice. This is not the chalice of his blood, (the latter is spoken of ver. 20, and 1 Corinthians xi. 25.) but it is the cup which the master of the repast blessed with ceremony, then drank of it, and gave it to all the guests. The modern Jews still observe this custom; not only on the Pasch, but on all other great feasts. The father
John 3:10 — greater and heavenly things, if I speak of them? (Witham) --- Many passages, both in the law and the prophets, implied this doctrine of regeneration; for what else can be the meaning of the circumcision of the heart, commanded by Moses; (Deuteronomy x. 16.) of the renewal of a clean and right spirit, prayed for by David; (Psalm 1.) of God’s giving his people a new heart and a new spirit. (Ezechiel xxxvi. 26, &c.) But the Pharisees, taken up with their rites and traditions, paid little attention
John 4:31 — Ver 1. This knowledge which the Pharisees had of our Saviour’s making so many disciples, and baptizing such members, could not prevail upon them to follow him for their salvation; otherwise Christ would not have departed out of Judea. Jesus knew full
Acts 1:4 — And eating with them.[1] This is a literal translation from the vulgar Latin. But the Protestant translation from some Greek copies, would have it, And being assembled together, he commanded them, &c. Mr. Bois defends the Latin Vulgate and even by the authority of St.
Romans 12:1 — sacrifice. And how must this be done? says St. John Chrysostom, hom. xx. Let the eye abstain from sinful looks and glances, and it is a sacrifice; the tongue from speaking ill, and it is a sacrifice, &c. --- Your reasonable service, or worship,[1] from you; nothing being more reasonable, than for men to serve God with their souls and bodies, &c. (Witham) =============================== [BIBLIOGRAPHY] Rationabile obsequium, Greek: logiken latreian.
Romans 14:15 — St. Paul repeats this, in almost the same words, in 1 Corinthians chap. viii. and plainly gives us the understand, that Christ died for the salvation of all men, by supposing a Christian brother, for whom Christ had died, in danger of perishing by the scandal given by another. This supposition could never
Romans 5:1 — The apostle proceeds in this chapter to shew how great a benefit it is to be truly justified by the coming of Christ. --- Let us have [1] peace with God. That is, says St. John Chrysostom, by laying aside all contentions. Or let us have peace with God by sinning no more. And this peace we may have under the greatest tribulations, which conduce to our greater good, to an increase in virtues,
Joshua 5:9 — Egipto. La gente de ese país adoptó la circuncisión solo después de este período, (Calmet) y nunca se generalizó entre ellos. Por lo tanto, fueron tenidos en aborrecimiento, como el resto de las naciones incircuncisas, entre los judíos, Génesis xxxiv. 14. y 1 Reyes xiv. 6. Teodoreto (q. 4) considera la circuncisión como un símbolo de la liberación de la servidumbre de Egipto, donde, dice, la historia nos informa que muchos de los hebreos habían descuidado este rito. &mdash A los israelitas que se quedaron
Joshua 7:1 — o la muerte podría no ser un castigo real para ellos; mientras que los israelitas se despertaron al sentido de su propia incapacidad para conquistar sin la protección divina, y se vieron obligados a humillarse. (Haydock) &mdash Acán se llama Achar, 1 Paralipomenon ii. 7. Estas cinco personas ocupan el espacio de 265 años; de modo que debían tener 50 o 55 años, cuando tuvieron hijos.
Revelation 17:8 — and is not, being much limited by the coming of Christ, but shall again exert itself under antichrist. The seven heads of this beast are seven mountains or empires, instruments of his tyranny; of which five were then fallen, as above, chap. xiii. ver. 1. The beast itself is said to be the eighth, and is of the seventh; because they all act under the devil, and by his instigation, so that his power is in them all, yet so as to make up, as it were, an eighth empire distinct from them all. (Challoner)
Expanded Esther 8:8 — Speeches. Rhetoric, (Grotius) or doubtful matters, as Solomon discovered the real mother, 3 Kings iii. 27. --- Arguments. Greek, "riddles," which were much in fashion, 3 Kings x. 1. (Calmet) --- Wonders. Such as comets and eclipses. (Menochius) --- When Anaxagoras discovered the latter, he durst not write, but only instructed his disciples in secret, for fear of being taken for an atheist, or magician. (Plut.[Plutarch?] in Nicias.)
