Bible Commentaries

Job 22:21 — result from such a reconciliation. There are few passages in the Bible of more exquisite beauty than this, and nothing could be sounder advice, on the supposition that Job was, as he supposed, a stranger to God. In this beautiful exhortation, be shows:(1) what he means by becoming acquainted with God Job 22:21-23; and then(2) what would be the happy results of such reconciliation, Job 22:24-30.The word rendered “acquaint thyself” הסכן hasâkan - from סכן sâkan means, properly, “to dwell,” to be familiar

Job 22:21 — resultarían de tal reconciliación. Hay pocos pasajes en la Biblia de belleza más exquisita que esto, y nada podría ser un consejo más sólido, en el supuesto de que Job era, como él suponía, un extraño para Dios. En esta hermosa exhortación, se muestra: (1) lo que quiere decir al conocer a Dios Job 22:21; y entonces (2) cuáles serían los felices resultados de tal reconciliación, Job 22:24-3. La palabra traducida como "conocete a ti mismo" הסכן hasâkan - de סכן sâkan significa, apropiadamente, "habitar"

Psalms 23 overview — too general a character to justify this inference with certainty. Such a hope might be expressed by anyone in any circumstances, as the highest desire of a pious heart. Kimchi supposes that the psalm was composed by David in the wilderness of Hareth 1 Samuel 22:5; and that it pertained to the people of Israel, and to their return from exile. But this is mere conjecture. The Aramaic Paraphrase applies the psalm to the Hebrew people when delivered from captivity and exile, as a song of triumph on their

Isaiah 1:13 — este homenaje externo. Vano - En hebreo "ofrenda de vanidad" - שׁוא shâv' - ofrendas que eran huecas, falsas, engañosas e hipócrita. Oblaciones - מנחת minchath. Esta palabra denota adecuadamente un regalo, o presente, de cualquier tipo Génesis 32:13, y luego especialmente un regalo u ofrenda a la Deidad, Génesis 4:3. No denota una ofrenda sangrienta, sino lo que se representa incorrectamente en el Antiguo Testamento, una ofrenda de carne Levítico 2:1; Levítico 6:14; Levítico 9:17 - una ofrenda

Isaiah 30:33 — madera en el valle de Hinom que debería ser disparada por el aliento de Dios. La palabra (תפתה tâpeteh) con ה (h) paragógica), indica correctamente qué causa odio u aborrecimiento ; aquello que produce asco y vómitos (del Caldeo תיף tūph escupir); Job 17:6, 'Fui un "aborrecimiento'" (תפת tôpheth), representado incorrectamente en nuestra versión, 'Estaba entre ellos como tabret . 'La palabra aparece solo en 2 Reyes 23:1; Jeremias 7:31; Jeremias 19:6, Jeremias 19:11, Jeremias 19:13, y en este lugar.

Isaiah 40:11 — over his flock; and means to tend, to guard, to govern, to provide pasture, to defend from danger, as a shepherd does his flock. It is often applied in the Scriptures to God represented as the tender shepherd, and especially to the Redeemer Psalms 23:1; Ezekiel 34:23; John 10:14; Hebrews 13:20; 1Pe 2:25; 1 Peter 5:4. It is often applied to a leader or a ruler of a people 2 Samuel 5:2; 2 Samuel 7:7; Jeremiah 32:2. Thus Homer often uses the phrase, ποιμήν λαῶν poimēn laōn - ‘shepherds of the people,’

Isaiah 40:11 — sobre su rebaño; y significa cuidar, proteger, gobernar, proporcionar pasto, defenderse del peligro, como un pastor hace su rebaño. A menudo se aplica en las Escrituras a Dios representado como el tierno pastor, y especialmente al Redentor Salmo 23:1; Ezequiel 34:23; Juan 10:14; Hebreos 13:2; 1Pe 2:25 ; 1 Pedro 5:4. A menudo se aplica a un líder o gobernante de un pueblo 2 Samuel 5:2; 2 Samuel 7:7; Jeremias 32:2. Por lo tanto, Homero a menudo usa la frase, ποιμήν λαῶν poimēn laōn - "pastores

Micah 4:5 — feeding their passions. Israel did not persevere in his, because it required him to deny himself things unlawful. “Hath a nation changed their gods which are yet no gods? But My people have changed their glow for that which doth not profit” Jeremiah 2:11. Henceforth, the prophet professeth for his people, the true Israel, that he will be as steadfast in good, as the pagan in evil; so our Lord sets forth “the children of this world in their generation” Luke 16:8, as an example of wisdom to the children

Matthew 17:24-27 — And when they were come to Capernaum - See the notes at Matthew 4:13.They that received tribute - In the original this is, they who received the didrachma, or double drachma. The drachma was a Grecian coin worth about fifteen cents (7 1/2 d.) of British money. The didrachma, or double drachma, was a silver coin equal

2 Corinthians 4:10 — to which Paul was exposed. And the idea is, that he had on his body the marks, the stripes and marks of punishment and persecution, which showed that he was exposed to the same violent death which the Lord Jesus himself endured; compare Galatians 6:17; “I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.” It is a strong energetic mode of expression, to denote the severity of the trials to which he was exposed, and the meaning is, that his body bore the marks of his being exposed to the same treatment

Philippians 2:16 — law which “killeth;” see the John 6:63, note, and 2 Corinthians 3:6, note. The duty here enjoined is that of making the gospel known to others, and of thus keeping up the knowledge of it in the world. This duty rests on Christians (compare Matthew 5:14, Matthew 5:16), and they cannot escape from the obligation. They are bound to do this, not only because God commands it, but:(1) Because they are called into the church that they may be witnesses for God, Isaiah 43:10.(2) Because they are kept on the

2 Timothy 2:16 — Pero evite balbuceos profanos y vanos, - vea las notas en 1 Timoteo 6:2. Porque aumentarán a más impiedad - Su tendencia es alejar el alma de Dios y conducir a la impiedad. Este tipo de disputas no son solo una pérdida de tiempo, sino que son productoras de travesuras positivas. Un hombre aficionado a la contención

Philemon 1:7 — probablemente significa mentes, corazones, porque se usa en las Escrituras para denotar los afectos. El sentido es que la amabilidad que había mostrado a los cristianos había hecho mucho para hacerlos felices. En la palabra actualizada, vea 2 Corintios 7:13; 2 Timoteo 1:16.

Hebrews 4:14 — Seeing then that we have a great high priest - The apostle here resumes the subject which had been slightly hinted at in Hebrews 2:17; Hebrews 3:1, and pursues it to the end of Hebrews 10:0. The “object” is to show that Christians have a great High Priest as really as the Jews had; to show wherein he surpassed the Levitical priesthood; to show how all that was said of the Aaronic

Hebrews 5:10 — Dirigido por él o recibido por él. La palabra utilizada aquí no significa que fue "designado" por Dios, o "llamado" a la oficina, en el sentido en que usamos la palabra con frecuencia, sino simplemente que fue "dirigido" como tal, a saber, en Salmo 110:1; Un sumo sacerdote - En la Septuaginta Salmo 110:4, y en Hebreos 5:6, arriba, se convierte en "sacerdote ”- ἱερεύς hiereus - pero la palabra hebrea - כהן kohēn - se usa a menudo para denotar al sumo sacerdote, y puede significar cualquiera;

James 1:14 — caught; that is, he is seized by this power, and held fast; or he is led along and beguiled, until he falls into sin, as in a snare that springs suddenly upon him.Επιθυμια Epithumia in the New Testament, is sometimes employed in a good sense, Luke 22:15; Phi 1:23; 1 Thessalonians 2:17; often in a bad sense, as in Mark 4:19; John 8:44; Romans 1:24; Romans 6:12; Romans 7:7; 1 John 2:16; but there is no difficulty in making the distinction; the context easily determining the matter. And this passage

2 Peter 2 overview — The general subject of this chapter is stated in the first verse, and it embraces these points: (1)That it might be expected that there would be false teachers among Christians, as there were false prophets in ancient times; (2)That they would introduce destructive errors, leading many astray; and, (3)That they would be certainly punished. The design

1 John 5:6 — This is he - This Son of God referred to in the previous verse. The object of the apostle in this verse, in connection with 1 John 5:8, is to state the nature of the evidence that Jesus is the Son of God. He refers to three well-known things on which he probably had insisted much in his preaching - the water, and the blood, and the Spirit. These, he says, furnished evidence

1 John 5:6 — Este es él - Este Hijo de Dios mencionado en el versículo anterior. El objetivo del apóstol en este versículo, en relación con 1 Juan 5:8, es establecer la naturaleza de la evidencia de que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios. Se refiere a tres cosas bien conocidas en las que probablemente había insistido mucho en su predicación: el agua, la sangre y el Espíritu. Esto, dice, proporciona

Revelation 21:7 — El que vence - Vea las notas en Apocalipsis 2:7. Heredará todas las cosas - Sea un heredero de Dios en todas las cosas. Vea las notas en Romanos 8:17. Compare Apocalipsis 2:7, Apocalipsis 2:11, Apocalipsis 2:17, Apocalipsis 2:26; Apocalipsis 3:5, Apocalipsis 3:12, Apocalipsis 3:21. Y seré su Dios - Es decir, para siempre. Él sería para ellos todo lo que está propiamente implicado en el
