Genesis 10:12 Resen, quizás Larissa, aquí escrito sin La; como 1 Paralipomenon v. 26. Hala tiene la preposición, y se escribe Lahela. (Bochart.) &mdash- Esto, & c. Es dudoso a cuál de estas tres ciudades se refiere: pero como sabemos que Ninive fue notable por su tamaño y magnificencia, podemos suponer que se designa a esta. (Calmet) (Menochius)
Exodus 11:2 Pedir; "no pedir prestado", como traducen los protestantes; ni "joyas de plata", sino vasos, como los que ofrecían los príncipes en la dedicación del tabernáculo, Números vii. El Samaritano y la Septuaginta añaden "y vestidos", que también pidieron (cap. Xii. 35), según el mandato de Dios, cap. iii. 22. (Kennicott, 1. Dis. Pág. 391.)
Exodus 12:2 Año, sagrado o eclesiástico, que se usa más comúnmente en las Escrituras. El año civil comenzaba con Tisri, en septiembre, y regulaba el jubileo, los contratos, etc. (Lapide) &mdash Antes del cautiverio, los meses no se llamaban Nisan, etc., sino abib, (cap. Xiii. 5,) el primero .... Bul el 11, (1 Reyes vi.), etc. Sa.
Exodus 16:1 Sin, después de haber acampado en el Mar Rojo, Números xxxiii. 10. La estación 33d también estaba en el desierto de Sin, o Cades. Pero eso está muy lejos de este desierto, Números xx. 1. (Calmet) &mdash- Mes de mayo, Jiar. Sus provisiones duraron un mes entero. Ante su fracaso, ahora recurren a los murmullos.
Esther 1:2 Captial. En hebreo, "palacio, (protestantes; Haydock) o castillo" (Calmet) también puede significar "una capital". (Montano, etc.) &mdash Parece haber residido aquí casi constantemente. Los reyes precedentes (Calmet) pasaron el invierno en este clima cálido, y quizás la primavera. Ver 2 Esdras i. 1. Pasaron otras partes del año en Ecbatana y en Babilonia. (Calmet)
Psalms 3:6 Descansa, en el pecado; (San Atanasio) o, no he perdido mi confianza en Dios, aunque los peligros amenazan por todos lados. (Calmet) &mdash Si rezaba para que le quitaran el cáliz, era para enseñarnos a comportarnos. (Calmet) &mdash La misma palabra se refiere a cosas pasadas y futuras. (San Gregorio, Mor. Xx. 1.) (Worthington)
Isaiah 43:1
And. Notwithstanding the sins of his people, God will deliver them, that they may be his witnesses, ver. 10. (Calmet) --- Name. As an intimate friend, (Haydock) or slave, chap. xlix. 1. (Calmet) --- God grants grace without any preceding merit. (Worthington) --- Forerius explains this mostly of the Gentile church, though it regards the converted Jews. (Houbigant)
Jeremiah 7:12
Beginning, under Josue. (Haydock) --- The sins of a few priests caused this place to be abandoned, (1 Kings ii. 22., and iii. 4., and Psalm lxxviii. 60.) and shall the crimes of a whole people escape? (Calmet) --- It is true, that place and Jerusalem were once sanctified: but the people being criminal, God retires. (Worthington)
Hosea 14:4
Gods. The Assyrians, instead of protecting, oppress us; while Egypt, famous for horses, sits unconcerned. (Calmet) --- But the source of all our evils are the idols, which we will follow no more. --- In thee: adheres to the true faith in practice. (Haydock) --- Israel was like an orphan during the captivity, Lamentations i. 1. (Calmet)
Hosea 6:4
Mercy. Hebrew chesed, (Haydock) "piety," &c., (Grotius) whence the word Assideans is derived, 1 Machabees ii. 42. The captives flattered themselves, that as soon as they began to entertain sentiments of repentance, God would relieve them. But he answers that their virtue is inconstant, and that they must suffer in proportion to their crimes.
Numbers 3:4 Presencia; o como se expresa, (1 Paralipomenon xxiv. 9,) bajo la mano de Aaron, por su dirección, y en calidad de su asistente, (Calmet) mientras vivió. Eleazar lo sucedió en el sumo sacerdocio; (Josué xxiv. 33,) y sus hijos poseían esa dignidad, hasta que la posteridad de Ithamar entró bajo Heli, cap. xxv. 3. (Haydock)
Zechariah 14:19
Sin, or punishment. Formerly various nations were excluded from the religion or assemblies of Israel, Leviticus xxii. 25., and Deuteronomy xxiii. 1. Now all are invited and compelled to enter the Church, so that they can have no excuse, Luke xiv. 24. (Calmet) --- Those rejected by the Jews might still have true faith. (Haydock)
Titus 1:8
Continent:[7] though both the Latin and Greek word signify in general, one that hath abstained, or contained, and overcome himself: yet it is particularly used for such as contain themselves from carnal pleasures. (Witham)
===============================
[BIBLIOGRAPHY]
Continentem, Greek: egkrate. The Protestant translate the verb, (1 Corinthians vii. 9.) If they cannot contain, let them marry.
Revelation 5:1
A book written within and without.[1] Books were their skin, membranes, or parchments, and when written on both sides part of the writing appeared, though they were rolled up. --- Sealed with seven seals, as containing mysteries and secrets of high importance. (Witham)
===============================
[BIBLIOGRAPHY]
Intus et foris, Greek: esothen kai opisthen; on the back side.
Judith 10:3
Body. Complutensian Greek, "mouth." But other editions seem more accurate. (Haydock) --- Best. Greek, "thick," probably the myrobalanum of Pliny, [Natural History?] xii. 21., and xiii. 1. --- Bonnet, or mitre, tied with ribbands, hanging down behind, like those of bishops. --- Sandals, highly ornamented, and worn by people of quality. (Calmet) --- Lilies, pendent from the neck. (Grotius)
Wisdom of Solomon 42:9
Knoweth. Literally, "who is hidden." (Haydock) --- An unmarried woman was styled Halma, or "hidden," Isaias vii. 11. (Calmet) --- Pass away. Greek, "abuse." (Haydock) --- Some read adultera, (Sixtus V; Jansenius) instead of adulta, improperly. It was deemed shameful for a parent not to have his daughter married soon, 1 Corinthians vii. 36. --- Hateful. Deuteronomy xxiv.
Sirach 3:23
Agar, the mother of the Ismaelites. (Challoner) --- Merrha, probably in Arabia. --- Fables. This may be a reproach, or a commendation. Those nations delighted in enigmatical and sententious discourses, 3 Kings x. 1. (Calmet) --- Instructors of mankind deserve praise, not those who devise false gods for lucre. (St. Augustine, City of God vi. 5., &c.) (Worthington)
1 Samuel 17:17 Panes. Los soldados en ese momento, y quizás siempre entre los hebreos, vivían a sus propias expensas, ya que el tributo que se pagaba al rey no era suficiente para mantener grandes ejércitos, ver. 25. (Calmet) &mdash- San Pablo insinúa, sin embargo, que a los soldados se les pagaba, 1 Corintios ix. 7. (Haydock)
2 Samuel 12:4 A él. Esta crueldad desenfrenada hizo que David lo declarara digno de muerte; como el simple robo se castigaba con una restitución de cuatro veces, Éxodo xxii. 1. Los jueces a veces disminuyen, y otras aumentan, la severidad de la ley, según las disposiciones de los infractores, que los legisladores no pudieron prever exactamente. (Calmet)
2 Samuel 6:2 Judá. Pero, ¿por qué no se mencionan las otras tribus? ¿y adónde fueron? Probablemente deberíamos traducir, "de la ciudad de los baales, en Judá"; que es otro nombre de Cariathiarim, como insinúa el Paralipomenon, [1 Paralipomenon xiii.?] ver. 6. Ver Josue xv. 9, 60. &mdash- Invocado; o que se llama "el arca del Señor".
