Bible Commentaries

Genesis 37:28 — merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty [pieces] of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt. For twenty pieces of silver. — A goodly price! not all out the price of a slave. Exodus 21:32 Here "they sold the just one for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes." Amos 2:6 The Hebrews tell us, that of these twenty shekels, every of the ten brethren had two, to buy shoes for their feet Pirke R. Eliez, cap. 38. And they brought

Genesis 47:9 — life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage. The days of the years of my pilgrimage. — All saints here are sojourners, all good people "pilgrims and strangers." 1 Peter 2:11 Hebrews 11:13-14 Far they are from home, and meet with hard measure; as Israel did in Egypt; as those three worthies in Babylon. Daniel 3:23 Their manners are of another manner: hence the world owns them not. John 15:19 But God both owns

Job 1:18 — While he [was] yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters [were] eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house: While he was yet speaking — See Job 1:16 . Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine — This was the last, but not the least, of Satan’s assaults, reserved purposely to the last, to crush him quite, when he was now spent and spiritless, as he hoped. Let us look

Job 10:3 — leaden reasons, which he deemed and boasted to be unanswerable, Heliodorus would rather be unbishoped than yield that his Ethiopic history (a toilsome toy, but the brat of his brain) should be abolished. The saints are "God’s building," 1 Corinthians 3:9 ; handy work, Ephesians 2:10 ; "children," Romans 9:26 ; "epistles known and read of all men," 2 Corinthians 3:2-3 . This if we plead, when sorely afflicted (as the Church did, Isaiah 64:8 , and David, Psalms 138:8

Job 3:14 — have had greatest matters in hand, with those should I have been coupled in the grave, that congregation house of all living ( πανηγυρις ), as it is called, Job 30:23 . That long or old home, Ecclesiastes 12:5 . Heaven is called the congregation house of God’s firstborn, Hebrews 12:23 , and their house not made with hands, 2 Corinthians 5:1 . But not many kings or nobles meet here, 1 Corinthians 1:26 , because strait is the gate and narrow the way

Zechariah 13:9 — que es el fuego para el oro, la lima para planchar, el abanico para el trigo, el jabón para la ropa, la sal para la carne, eso es la tribulación santificada para el justo. Se dice que Dios tiene su "fuego en Sion, y su horno en Jerusalén", Isaías 31:9 , para llevar el suyo a través del fuego y del agua, Salmo 66:12 , desde arriba para enviar fuego a sus huesos, Lamentaciones 1:13 , para someterlos a prueba de fuego, 1 Pedro 4:12 ; sí, él mismo es fuego purificador para ellos, y jabón de lavadores.

Matthew 7:1 — de somniis dicitur. Novarin. imports a kind of curious inquiry into other men’s faults, that we may the more severely censure and subject them to a sinister interpretation. It signifies sometimes no more, I grant, than to reprehend, asRomans 2:1; Romans 2:1 . But this, so it were wisely done, our Saviour would never have reprehended. "Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart:" but (for prevention of such a mischief) thou shalt plainly (not perfunctorily, or in jest, bravery, form,

Matthew 7:3 — de predicación, por doctrina y uso, explicación y aplicación. Los ministros deben (como nuestro Salvador en su texto) traer martillos con sus clavos, Jeremias 23:29 , y Jeremias 23:29 en la misma cabeza, sí, aguijonear a los hombres al Eclesiastés 12:11 , Eclesiastés 12:11 ; para que el corazón del pueblo se rompa, como el de ellos, Hechos 2:37 , o estalle, como el de ellos, Hechos 7:54 . Una doctrina general, no aplicada, es como una espada sin filo, no en sí misma, sino para nosotros, a través

2 Samuel 11:11 — signifieth the fire of God; and surely the fire of zeal was kindled by God’s Spirit upon the hearth of his heart, which made him thus resolute to abridge himself even of lawful delights, in a time of common calamity. See the like in Nehemiah, Nehemiah 1:4-5 Daniel and his fellows, Daniel 1:9 those good captives. Psalms 137:1-9 And that any Baruch at such a time seeketh great things for himself, and is not even sick at heart for the breaches of Joseph, father Latimer’s reason holdeth good; Deest

2 Samuel 2:4 — the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, [That] the men of Jabeshgilead [were they] that buried Saul.

And there they anointed David king. — This is
