Genesis 26:1-35 trasladarse con su familia y rebaños a tierra de los filisteos, donde se hallaba expuesto a un peligro personal, como había sucedido con su padre, a causa de la hermosura de su esposa; pero por la oportuna intervención de Dios fué salvado (Salmo 105:14).
12. sembró Isaac en aquella tierra—Durante su estada en aquel distrito, labró una parcela de tierra, la cual, por la bendición de Dios, fué muy productiva ( Isaías 65:13; Salmo 37:19), y por su abundante rendimiento, él aumentó tan rápidamente en
Exodus 20:1-26 demostrando que la naturaleza racional de la ley está fundada en su relación eterna de las criaturas con su Creador, y sus relaciones mutuas del uno con el otro.
3. No tendrás dioses ajenos delante de mí—en mi presencia, al lado de mí, con excepción de mí.
4, 5. No te harás imagen … no te inclinarás a ellas—o sea, “Hacer a fin de inclinarte”. Bajo los auspicios de Moisés mismo fueron hechas figuras de querubines, serpientes de bronce, bueyes y de muchas otras cosas “abajo en la tierra”, y nunca fueron condenadas.
Job 42:1-17 CAPITULO 42
LA CONTESTACION PENITENCIAL DE JOB (vers. 1-6).
2. En la primera cláusula Job reconoce que Dios es omnipotente sobre la naturaleza, en contraste con su propia flaqueza, que Dios había probado (40:10; 41:34); en la segunda, que Dios es el supremo justo
Job 5:1-27 5
LA CONCLUSION QUE ELIFAZ SACA DE LA VISION.
1. si habrá quien te responda—Más bien: “¿Te responderá él (Dios)? Job, después de la revelación que se acaba de dar, no puede ser tan presuntuoso como para pensar que Dios o alguno de los santos ( Daniel 4:17; ángeles) alrededor de su trono le haya de conceder una respuesta (expresión judicial) a su rebelde queja.
2. ira … envidia—Quejas irritantes y apasionadas cual aquellas de las que Elifaz acusa a Job ( Daniel 4:5; así Proverbios 14:30).
3. al
Ecclesiastes 9:1-18 Declarar—más bien, explorar; el resultado de mi exploración es éste: “Los justos … están en las manos de Dios. Nadie sabe ni el amor ni el odio (de Dios hacia ellos) mediante todo lo que está delante de él,” lo que está a la vista, de sus tratos actuales (8:14, 17). Sin embargo, del sentido de las mismas palabras, en el v. 6, “amor y odio” parecen ser el sentir de los impíos hacia los justos, por el que causan a éstos o consuelo o tristeza. Tradúzcase; “Hasta el amor y el odio” (exhibidos hacia los justos)
Isaiah 13:1-22 LOS CAPS. 13-23 CONTIENEN LAS PROFECIAS REFERENTES A LAS NACIONES EXTRANJERAS. LOS CAPS. 13, 14 y 27 LAS RELACIONADAS CON BABILONIA Y ASIRIA. Las predicciones acerca de las naciones extranjeras fueron proferidas por amor al pueblo del pacto, para preservarlo de la desesperación o de confiar en alianzas humanas, y fortalecer su fe en Dios; así
Isaiah 47:1-15 morir. Fundada Seleucia en sus cercanías, la despojó de sus habitantes y aun de su nombre. delicada—alusión al afeminado libertinaje y prostitución de todas las clases sociales en los banquetes y los ritos religiosos [Curcio 5:1; Heródoto 1:199; Baruch 6:43].
2. molino—semejante al molino de mano en uso en Inglaterra antes de la invención de los molinos de agua y de viento. Constan de una piedra convexa, que se hace girar con la mano sobre otra de forma cóncava, con lo cual se muele el grano que penetra
Ezekiel 5:1-17 predichas, en la visión anterior, espera al pueblo, porque la culpabilidad de ellos era mayor que la de sus padres. tu cabeza—como representativo de los judíos. Tenar que afeitarse el cabello significaba un tratamiento severo y humillante ( 2 Samuel 10:4), y especialmente en el caso de un sacerdote, porque a los sacerdotes ( Levítico 21:5) les estaba prohibido “hacer calva” en su cabeza, siendo su cabello el signo de consagración; por lo tanto se insinúa aquí que lo ceremonial tiene que ceder su lugar
Hosea 8:1-14 CAPITULO 8
PROFECIA DE LA IRRUPCION DE LOS ASIRIOS, EN CASTIGO DE LA APOSTASIA DE ISRAEL. DE SU IDOLATRIA, Y DE HABER ENTRONIZADO REYES SIN LA SANCION DIVINA. En el V. 14, se dice que Judá multiplicó las ciudades amuralladas; y en los vv. 7-9, que Israel, para su daño grande, había recurrido a Asiria por ayuda. Esto corresponde mejor al reinado de Manahén, porque fué entonces cuando Uzías de Judá, su contemporáneo, edificó
Zechariah 14:5 a direct address to Jehovah. It is as if
"lifting up his head" (Amos 1:1- :), he suddenly sees in vision the Lord coming, and joyfully
exclaims, "All the saints with Thee!" So Amos 1:1- :.
saints—holy angels
escorting the returning King (Matthew 24:30;
Matthew 24:31; Judges 1:14);
and redeemed men (1 Corinthians 15:23;
1 Thessalonians 3:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:14).
Compare the similar mention of the "saints" and "angels"
at His coming on Sinai (Deuteronomy 32:2;
Deuteronomy 32:3; Acts 7:53;
Galatians
2 Corinthians 11:7 an objection, was a
decided superiority in him above the false apostles ( :-).
abasing myself—in my
mode of living, waiving my right of maintenance, and earning it by
manual labor; perhaps with slaves as his fellow laborers (Acts 18:3;
Philippians 4:12).
ye . . . exalted—spiritually,
by your admission to Gospel privileges.
because—"in that."
gospel of God—"of
God" implies its divine glory to which they were admitted.
freely—"without
charge."
2 Corinthians 6:4 4. Translate, to mark the true
order of the Greek words, "in everything, as God's
ministers recommending ourselves," that is, that our hearers may
give our message a favorable hearing, through our consistency
in every respect, not that they may glorify
Galatians 6:2 2. If ye, legalists, must "bear
burdens," then instead of legal burdens ( :-), "bear one another's burdens," literally,
"weights." Distinguished by BENGEL
from "burden," Galatians 6:4
(a different Greek word, "load"): "weights"
exceed the strength of those under them; "burden" is
proportioned to the strength.
so fulfil—or as other
old manuscripts read, "so ye will fulfil," Greek,
"fill up," "thoroughly fulfil."
the law of Christ—namely,
"love"
Ephesians 5:6 6. vain—empty, unreal words,
namely, palliations of "uncleanness," Ephesians 5:3;
Ephesians 5:4; Isaiah 5:20
(that it is natural to indulge in love), "covetousness"
(that it is useful to society that men should pursue gain), and
"jesting" (that it is witty and clever, and that God will
not so severely punish for such things).
because of these
things—uncleanness,
Philippians 2:25 properly
a sending Epaphroditus back ( :-). But as he had come intending to stay some time with Paul,
the latter uses the word "send" (compare :-).
fellow soldier—in the
"good fight" of faith (Philippians 1:27;
Philippians 1:30; 2 Timothy 2:3;
2 Timothy 4:7).
your messenger—literally,
"apostle." The "apostles" or "messengers of
the churches" (Romans 16:7;
2 Corinthians 8:23), were distinct from the
"apostles" specially commissioned by Christ, as the
Twelve and Paul.
ministered to my wants—by
conveying
Titus 1:2 2. In hope of eternal life—connected
with the whole preceding sentence. That whereon rests my aim as an
apostle to promote the elect's faith and full knowledge of the
truth, is, "the hope of eternal life" (Titus 2:13;
Titus 3:7; Acts 23:6;
Acts 24:15).
that cannot lie—
(Romans 3:4; Romans 11:29;
Hebrews 6:18).
promised before the world
began—a contracted expression for "purposed before
the world began (literally, 'before the ages of time'), and promised
actually in time," the promise springing
Hebrews 11:10 with eager expectation ( :-).
a city—Greek,
"the city," already alluded to. Worldly Enoch, son
of the murderer Cain, was the first to build his city here: the godly
patriarchs waited for their city hereafter (Hebrews 11:16;
Hebrews 12:22; Hebrews 13:14).
foundations—Greek,
"the foundations" which the tents had not,
nor even men's present cities have.
whose builder and
maker—Greek, "designer [Ephesians 1:4;
Ephesians 1:11] and master-builder,"
or executor of the design. The city is worthy of its
Hebrews 9:7 blood— ( :-).
offered—Greek,
"offers."
errors—Greek,
"ignorances": "inadvertent errors." They might
have known, as the law was clearly promulged, and they were bound to
study it; so that their ignorance was culpable (compare
Acts 3:17; Ephesians 4:18;
1 Peter 1:14). Though one's ignorance
may mitigate one's punishment (1 Peter 1:14- :), it does not wholly exempt from punishment.
Revelation 18:23
candle—Translate as
Greek, "lamp."
bridegroom . . . bride . . .
no more . . . in thee—Contrast the heavenly city, with its
Bridegroom, Bride, and blessed marriage supper (Revelation 19:7;
Revelation 19:9; Revelation 21:2;
Revelation 21:9; Isaiah 62:4;
Isaiah 62:5).
thy merchants were—So
most of the best authorities read. But A omits the Greek
article before "merchants," and then translates, "The
great men of . . . were thy merchants."
sorceries—Greek,
"sorcery."
Revelation 22:4 4. see his face—revealed in
divine glory, in Christ Jesus. They shall see and know Him
with intuitive knowledge of Him, even as they are known by Him
(1 Corinthians 13:9-12), and
face to face. Compare 1 Timothy 6:16;
John 14:9. God the Father can only
