Bible Commentaries

Genesis 50:4 — favour, for he had the happiness to be favourite to five kings, Pareus. Onus, Amasis, Chebron, Amenophes, and Mephiris, in the eleventh year of whose reign he died, - but because he was now a mourner; and such were not wont to come before kings, Esther 4:2 though none but such as mourn are suffered to come before God. Matthew 5:4

1 Kings 7:14 — understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work. He was a widow’s son of the tribe of Naphtali. — His father was of that tribe, but his mother of the tribe of Dan, 2 Chronicles 2:14 unless the king there mistook the one tribe for the other. And cunning to work all works. — Not in brass only, but in gold, silver, iron, stone, timber, purple, …, 2 Chronicles 4:16 so that Solomon, for respect’s sake, called him

1 Kings 7:14 — Era hijo de una viuda de la tribu de Neftalí, y su padre era un hombre de Tiro, obrero de bronce; y estaba lleno de sabiduría, entendimiento y astucia para realizar todas las obras en bronce. Y vino al rey Salomón y realizó toda su obra. Ver. 14. Era hijo de una viuda de la tribu de Neftalí.] Su padre era de esa tribu, pero su madre de la tribu de Dan, 2 Crónicas 2:14 a menos que el rey confundiera una tribu con la otra. Y astucia para trabajar todas las obras. ] No sólo de bronce, sino de

Nehemiah 9:12 — heathen fiction. And in the night by a pillar of fire — Though they did not usually journey in the night, yet sometimes they did; and then this pillar of fire was their guide. God is with his at all assays, and is all in all unto them, Psalms 121:4 ; see Isaiah 4:5-6 .

Psalms 105:16 — do but call for a famine it is done. He brake the whole staff of bread — Either by withdrawing bread, that staff of man’s life, or his blessing from it; for man liveth not by bread alone (or at all), but by every word, …, Matthew 4:4 , without which bread can no more nourish us than a clod of clay, In pane conclusus est quasi baculus, qui nos sustineat. See Haggai 1:6 . See Trapp on " Haggai 1:6 "

Psalms 106:4 — Acuérdate de mí, oh SEÑOR, con el favor [que tienes para] tu pueblo; visítame con tu salvación; Ver. 4. Acuérdate de mí, oh Señor, con el favor, etc. ] El salmista tendría favor y favor especial, misericordias y misericordias seguras, propias de la peculiaridad de Dios, y con ellas sería recordado; gracia que encontraría, que podría ayudar en tiempos

Psalms 109:4 — Por mi amor son mis adversarios, pero yo [me entrego a] la oración. Ver. 4. Por mi amor son mis adversarios ] Heb. me odian satánicamente. Devolver mal por mal es brutal, pero devolver mal por bien es diabólico. Pero me entrego a la oración ] Heb. Pero yo soy oración, o un hombre de oración, como Salmo 120:7 , Pero soy paz.

Psalms 50:22 — libere. Ver. 22. Ahora consideren esto, ustedes que olvidan a Dios ] Que lo echan a él y sus consejos a sus espaldas, antes que despierte sus conciencias adormecidas, y despierte al león que yace durmiendo en sus pechos, como el perro de Caín, Génesis 4:7 , con su perro-sueño; y antes de que vengas a responder por todos, con llamas en tus oídos. No sea que yo te haga pedazos, y no haya quien te libere ] Del lobo un pastor puede rescatar su cordero, no así del león hambriento, Amo 3:12 Isaías 31:4

Psalms 78:2 — Abriré mi boca en una parábola; proferiré dichos oscuros de antaño: Ver. 2. Abriré mi boca en una parábola ] Hablaré libre y claramente (abriré mi boca, Mateo 5: 2 Hechos 10:34), y sin embargo aguda y exactamente. Ver Salmo 49:4 , Ver Trapp en " Salmo 49: 4 " Proferiré dichos oscuros de la antigüedad] Heb. Sacaré (como de un manantial o fuente) dichos oscuros o agudos, tramitados y registrados de antaño, pero de buena utilidad

Proverbs 17:2 — and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren. A wise servant shall have rule over a son, … — God hath a very gracious respect unto faithful servants, and hath promised them "the reward of inheritance," Colossians 3:24 which properly belongs to sons. This happens sometimes here, as to Joseph, Joshua, those subjects that married Solomon’s daughters; 1 Kings 4:10 ; 1 Kings 4:14 but infallibly hereafter, when "they shall come from east and west to sit down

Leviticus 15:4 — Todo lecho en que se acueste el que tiene flujo, será inmundo; y todo aquello en que se siente será inmundo. Ver. 4. Cada cama. ] El pecado es más contagioso que cualquier plaga, y más contaminante que cualquier fuera de casa; Mar 7:23 Pablo lo encontró tan repugnante para su alma como un cadáver para sus sentidos, Rom 7:24 o como los sanos; una plaga que lastima

Isaiah 19:21 — Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform [it]. And the Lord shall be known to Egypt. — They shall both know the Lord Christ, and be known of him. as Galatians 4:9 See Romans 10:20 . And shall do sacrifce and oblation. — Perform "reasonable service," Romans 12:1 such as whereof they can render a reason. Not a Samaritan service, John 4:22 or Athenian Acts 17:23 - "Whom therefore ye ignorantly

Isaiah 28:5 — the residue of his people, For a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty. — So he was to Judah - called here the "residue of his people" - during Hezekiah’s days; a crown unfading, or a garland made of amaranth, as 1 Peter 1:4 which is, saith Clement, a certain flower that being hung up in the house, yet is still fresh and green. And as God is thus to his people, so, interchangeably, are they to him "a crown of glory," Isaiah 62:3 and "a royal diadem,"

Isaiah 43:10 — de su divinidad, sus oráculos y milagros, por ejemplo. . Y mi siervo a quien he escogido, ] es decir, Cristo, dice el paraphrast caldeo; el profeta Isaías, dicen otros; o, lo que es más probable, Ciro, quien es llamado el siervo elegido de Dios, Isa 42: 1 y su testimonio acerca de Dios debe leerse en Esdras 1:3 , "El Señor Dios de Israel es Dios". Todo verdadero creyente hace lo mismo, si no más; porque "El que cree ha puesto su sello en que Dios es verdadero", Juan 3:33 le ha dado un testimonio,

Lamentations 1:20 — [hay] como muerte. Ver. 20. He aquí, oh Señor, que estoy angustiado. ] Así, de vez en cuando, eleva su alma a Dios, mediante un santo apóstrofe, en algunas expresiones breves pero concisas. Y seguramente si una mirada larga hacia Dios acelera, Sal 34: 4-5 Juan 2:4 ; Jon 2: 7 ¡cuánto más una eyaculación cordial, como aquí! Mis entrañas están turbulentas. ] Lutulant, bulliunt, vel intumescunt: non solum fluctuant, aut strepunt, ut coartada. Mis entrañas hierven y burbujean, o son espesas y fangosas,

Ezekiel 9:11 — reported the matter. — The Vulgate hath it respondit verbum, as if he had been asked before whether he had done as was bidden. I have done as thou hast commanded me. — So did David; Psalms 119:112 Acts 13:22 and the Son of David; John 17:4 ; John 14:31 and Paul, witness his famous vox voice προαγωνιος . 2 Timothy 4:6-8 Let every of us so carry the matter toward God that at death we may say with that servant in Luke 17:9 , "Lord,

Amos 2:13 — pressed [that is] full of sheaves. Behold I am pressed under you, … — A country comparison (such as this prophet is full of), plain, but pithy; to show how God is pressed and oppressed with people’s sins, wearied as it were, Isaiah 43:24 , and his patience even worn out; so that he can forbear them no longer, Isaiah 42:14 , but like a travailing woman, that bites in her pain as long as she is able, at length cries out: so here, God hath much ado to forbear killing men in their sins;

Amos 2:13 — gavillas. Ver. 13. He aquí, estoy presionado debajo de ti, etc. ] Una comparación de países (como la que presenta este profeta), sencilla, pero concisa; para mostrar cómo Dios está oprimido y oprimido por los pecados de la gente, cansado por así Isaías 43:24 , Isaías 43:24 , y su paciencia incluso agotada; para que ya no los pueda Isaías 42:14 , Isaías 42:14 , pero como una mujer que sufre dolores de parto, que muerde en su dolor cuanto puede, al fin grita: así que aquí Dios tiene mucho que hacer

John 20:2 — of delays. Christ cometh leaping over the "mountains of Bether," Song of Solomon 2:17 ; all manner lets and impediments. And the Church, as impatient as he, bids him "Make haste, my beloved, and be like to a roe,"Song of Solomon 8:4; Song of Solomon 8:4 , or to a fawn of the harts, which when it fleeth, looketh behind it, saith the Chaldee paraphrast there. She affects not only a union, but a unity with him.

Colossians 4:11 — the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me. These only are my fellowworkers — St Paul complains of fickle and false friends, that forsook him in his distress, as Demas, 2 Timothy 4:10 ; 2 Timothy 4:16 , that like Job’s friends proved miserable comforters, and as the brooks of Tema, which in a moisture swell, in a drought fail; or as the river Novanus in Lombardy, that at every midsummer solstice swelleth and runneth over
