Bible Commentaries

Genesis 11:27 — Now these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot. Terah begat Abram. — Who whether he were Terah’s firstborn, is a great question; but, being an important man, he is first mentioned. (Abram was not Terah’s first born. Genesis 11:32 ; Genesis 12:4 This means that Terah was 130 years old when he begot Abram. Editor.)

Exodus 12:38 — And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, [even] very much cattle. And a mixed multitude. — Of strangers, that "took hold of the skirts of these Jews, and said, We will go with you," Zechariah 8:23 but afterwards turned tippet, Numbers 11:4 lusted greatly and greedily, and made Israel to sin. Coals touched will either burn or sully us.

Exodus 16:31 — And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it [was] like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it [was] like wafers [made] with honey. And the taste of it. — It had not all manner of good tastes, according to every man’s appetite, Numbers 11:8 else why should the people lust and murmur as there they did? Exodus 16:4-5

Exodus 16:33 — And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations. Take a pot. — A golden pot. Hebrews 9:4 Strabo Geog. writeth, that the Metapontini, after a plentiful harvest which had much enriched them, dedicated to Apollo at Delphi χρυσουν θερος , a harvest of gold.

Exodus 19:15 — And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at [your] wives. Be ready against the third day. — If the word of a command expected such readiness, what shall the word of promise? … Come not at your wives. — For the legal uncleanness that was in it, Leviticus 15:18 1 Samuel 21:4 figuring the filth of original sin.

Exodus 40:36 — And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys: The children of Israel went. — The Jews conceive that this cloud that led Israel through the wilderness, levelled mountains, raised valleys, and laid all aflat: that it burnt up bushes, and smoothed rocks, and made all plain, … See Luke 3:5 Isaiah 4:5

Song of Solomon 8:6 — se despertará "como uno que duerme, y como un hombre que grita a causa del vino". Sal 78:65 Porque el amor es fuerte como la muerte. ] Y sin embargo, la muerte es tan fuerte que sobrepasa a todos los hombres, Rom 5:12 y los devora como a ovejas; Sal 49:14 como podredumbre arrasa todo el rebaño, teniendo como lema Nulli cedo, no cedo a nadie. Sólo el amor es "fuerte como la muerte", mejor dicho, más fuerte. Jonatán habría muerto por el amor de David, David de Absalón. Arsinoe se interpuso entre las

Malachi 2:4 — Y sabréis que yo os envié este mandamiento, para que sea mi pacto con Leví, ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos. Ver. 4. Y sabréis que yo he enviado, etc. ] Es decir, sabrás por experiencia lamentable, tu castigo te anunciará; la maldición adjunta al mandamiento te enseñará, como Gedeón enseñó a los hombres de Sucot, sc. con espinos y cardos del desierto, Jueces 8:16

Matthew 12:18 — enfáticamente, "su alma amada", Jeremias 12:7 ; εδωκα την ηγαπημενην ψυχην μου, Dilectam animam meam, Vulgate. Y mostrará juicio ] Esa es la doctrina del evangelio (por medio de la cual se transmite al corazón ese espíritu de juicio y de ardor, Isa 4: 4), o el dulce efecto de ella, la gracia verdadera, que se llama juicio, un poco más abajo, Mateo 12:20 .

Matthew 20:31 — El diablo nos interrumpirá, como lo hizo la pitonisa con Pablo, Hechos 16:16 ; como hicieron las aves con Abraham, Génesis 15:11 ; como esos samaritanos hicieron con los judíos en la construcción del templo, Neh 6: 1-19. Por eso se nos Colosenses 4:2 en oración, Colosenses 4:2 , y velemos en oración; porque Satanás estará a nuestra diestra, como a Josué, Zacarías 3:1, vigilando su tiempo para lanzar, si no un pensamiento profano, pero impertinente, privándonos así del beneficio de nuestras oraciones;

Matthew 7:11 — mismo (como solía ser en las criaturas moribundas), que (sin la mayor gracia de Dios, y el contramovimiento del Espíritu Santo dentro de ellos) ciertamente produciría los males más vergonzosos. Esto puso a San Pablo a ese lamentable clamor, Romanos 7:24 , y le hizo exhortar a Timoteo (aunque era un joven rara vez mortificado) a exhortar a las mujeres más jóvenes con toda pureza o castidad; insinuando, que a través de la corrupción de su naturaleza, incluso mientras los exhortaba a la castidad, algunos

Romans 14:9 — For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. That he might be Lord — He won his crown before he wore it; he fought for it, and having vanquished all enemies, he accomplished and proclaimed the victory in his glorious resurrection, triumphed in his wonderful ascension, leading captivity captive, …, Ephesians 4:8 .

Romans 5:1 — Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Being justified by faith — As he had said, Romans 4:24 . We have peace with God — A blessed calm lodged in our consciences; like as when Jonah was cast overboard, there followed a tranquillity. This is that continual feast, a very heaven beforehand, an anticipation of glory, ουρανος

Romans 6:13 — Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. Unto sin — As Satan’s general, who hath his trenches, 2 Corinthians 10:4 ; his commanders, as here, and his fighting soldiers,1 Peter 2:11; 1 Peter 2:11 ; his weapons, as here.

1 Corinthians 12:20 — But now are they many members, yet but one body. But now are they many members, … — 1. Use; 2. Necessity; 3. Honour; 4. Comeliness, 5. Mutual consent, -commend these things. Let every man try his membership (1. If sociable with Christ and his people; 2. If useful and serviceable to the body; 3. If sensible and compassionate, …, being himself also in the body), as was before advised.

Ephesians 2:18 — For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. We both have an access — With good assurance of success. The Persian kings held it a piece of their silly glory to hold off their best friends, who might not come near them but upon special licence, Ezra 4:11 . Not so our king. "Oh, come, for the Master calleth thee!"

Colossians 3:18 — que reverencia a su esposo", Efesios 5:33 , como lo hizo Sara, y se relata por ello, 1 Pedro 3:6 . Pero Dios tiene un vientre estéril para burlarse de Mical. 2. Obediencia a todos sus mandamientos y restricciones legales, como el sunamita, 2 Reyes 4:22 , y el sulamita, que vive según las leyes de Cristo y se somete a su voluntad, dirección y discreción. Como es apropiado ] Ut decet, como es bello; ya las mujeres les encanta la belleza, les encanta estar ordenadas. Por la presente parecerá hermoso,

1 Peter 3:19 — By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; He went and preached — Righteousness, i.e. repentance, 2 Peter 2:5 , and the faith of the gospel, 1 Peter 4:6 , whereby some of those many that perished in the waters arrived at heaven, Nunquam sero, si serio. Christ went to them as an ambassador sent by his Father, and spake to their hearts.

1 Peter 5:10 — But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you . But the God of all grace — Thus the apostle divides his time between preaching and prayer, according to his own advice, Acts 6:4 , and the practice of those ancient ministers, Deuteronomy 33:10 .

Revelation 7:8 — Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. Of Joseph — That is, of Ephraim, who, though Joseph’s younger son, yet had the first birthright. Ephraim is not named (though tacitly intended here) because joined to idols; let him alone therefore, saith God, Hosea 4:17 .
