Leviticus 27:16 — Some part of a field of his possession - Rather, a part of the land of his inheritance.The seed thereof - i. e. the quantity of seed required to sow it properly. Thus the value of about 5 1/2 bushels (an homer) was about 6 pounds, 9 shillings, 2d. (50 shekels. See Exodus 38:24.)

Isaiah 28:16 — lo tanto, la idea esencial en este pasaje. Que se refiere al Mesías y está diseñado para mostrar que su reino será perpetuo porque está criado en él, lo veremos examinando las palabras que aparecen en el versículo. En Zion - (vea la nota en Isaías 1:8). Sión aquí es puesto para su imperio, reino o iglesia en general en la tierra. Poner una piedra angular en Sion, significa que su reino se fundaría en una roca, y estaría seguro en medio de todas las tormentas que pudieran golpearlo. Para una base

Daniel 1:5 — corporal, en belleza personal y en logros intelectuales, para presentarse en la corte; y se presumía que el mejor estilo de vida que el reino proporcionara conduciría a este fin. Que el diseño no era para hacerlos afeminados, se desprende de Daniel 1:15.

Zechariah 11:13 — Y el Señor me dijo: échalo - Como algo vil y rechazado, como carne desgarrada se echaría a los perros Éxodo 22:31 , o se arrojó un cadáver sin enterrar Isaías 14:19; Isaías 34:3; Jeremias 14:16; Jeremias 22:19; Jeremias 26:23; Jeremias 36:3, o el cadáver de Absalom fue arrojado al pozo 2 Samuel 18:17, o el polvo de los idolaltars en el arroyo Kedron por Josiah

Deuteronomy 22:5 — That which pertaineth unto a man - i. e. not only his dress but all that especially pertains distinctively to his sex; arms, domestic and other utensils, etc.The distinction between the sexes is natural and divinely established, and cannot be neglected without indecorum and consequent danger to purity (compare 1 Corinthians 11:3-15).

1 Corinthians 11:19 — Porque debe haber - Es necesario (δεῖ dei); es lo que esperaba; Hay razones por las que debería haber. Cuáles son estas razones, afirma al final del verso; compare Mateo 18:7; 2 Pedro 2:1; 2 Pedro 2:2. El significado es, no que las divisiones sean inseparables de la naturaleza de la religión cristiana, no es que sea el diseño y el deseo del Autor del cristianismo que existan, y no que sean físicamente imposibles, porque

1 Corinthians 5:7 — pascual, que ese cordero fue diseñado para adularlo o tipificarlo, y que, en consecuencia, cuando se le ofreció, la ofrenda pascual estaba diseñada para cesar. Cristo está a menudo en las Escrituras en comparación con un cordero. Ver Isaías 53:7; Joh 1:29 ; 1 Pedro 1:19; Apocalipsis 5:6, Apocalipsis 5:12. Se sacrifica por nosotros - Margen, o "asesinado" (ἐτυθη etuthē). La palabra θύω thuō puede significar simplemente matar o matar; pero también se usa a menudo en el sentido de hacer un sacrificio

1 Corinthians 6:12 — admitting that they were lawful, yet a man ought not to be under the power of any improper indulgence, and should abandon any habit when it had the mastery. (3)That fornication was positively wrong, and against the very nature and essence of Christianity,1 Corinthians 6:13-20; 1 Corinthians 6:13-20.Are not expedient - This is the first answer to the objection. Even should we admit that the practices under discussion are lawful, yet there are many things which are not expedient; that is, which do not profit,

1 Thessalonians 4:17 — Entonces nosotros que estamos vivos - Aquellos que entonces estarán vivos; ver 1 Tesalonicenses 4:15.

Marca correctamente la sucesión en el tiempo y significa "después, siguiente, siguiente en el orden de los eventos";

Judges 10:11 — (See the marginal references). The Israelites were delivered from the “Egyptians” at the Exodus; from the “Amorites” in the victories over Sihon, and Og, and the five kings of the Amorites Joshua 10:5; from the “children of Ammon” by Ehud; and from the “Philistines,” by the hand of Shamgar (compare 1 Samuel 12:9).

Judges 20:28 — Phinehas, the son of Eleazar ... - A most important chronological statement, which makes it probable that these events occurred within twenty years of the death of Joshua.To-morrow - The two former answers only bade them go up against Benjamin; now, for the first time, the promise is added, “Tomorrow,” etc. (compare Joshua 8:1).

2 Peter overview — Introduction to 2 PeterSection 1. Genuineness and Authenticity of the EpistleIt is well known that at an early period of the Christian history there were doubts respecting the canonical authority of the Second Epistle of Peter. The sole ground of the doubt was, whether Peter was the

1 John 5:8 — And there are three that bear witness in earth - This is a part of the text, which, if the reasoning above is correct, is to be omitted. The genuine passage reads, 1 John 5:7, “For there are three that bear record (or witness, μαρτυροῦντες marturountes) - the Spirit, and the water, and the blood.” There is no reference to the fact that it is done “in earth.” The phrase was introduced to correspond with what was

1 John 5:8 — y hay tres que sean testigos de la Tierra - Esto es una parte del texto, que, si el razonamiento anterior es correcto, se debe omitir. El pasaje genuino lee, 1 Juan 5:7, "porque hay tres que tienen un registro (o testigo, μαρτυροῦντες span> span> Marturtountes) - El Espíritu, y el agua, y la sangre". No hay referencia al hecho de que se hace "en la Tierra". La frase se introdujo para que se correspondiera

1 Samuel 2:2 — Any rock ... - The term rock as applied to God is first found in the song of Moses (see Deuteronomy 32:4 note), where the juxtaposition of rock and salvation in 1 Samuel 2:15, “he lightly esteemed the rock of his salvation,” seems to indicate that Hannah was acquainted with the song of Moses.

1 Samuel 25:29 — In the bundle - Rather, “the bag,” in which anything precious, or important to be preserved, was put, and the bag was then tied up (compare Genesis 42:35).The souls ... shall he sling out - The comparison is especially appropriate as addressed to David, whose feat with his sling was so celebrated 1 Samuel 17:49.
