Exodus 26:1-37 — (Comparar Éxodo 36:8 .) El tabernáculo debía comprender tres partes principales, el tabernáculo Éxodo 26:1 , más estrictamente así llamado, su tienda Éxodo 26:7 , y su cubierta (Comparar ; Éxodo 39:33 ; , ; , etc. ). Estas partes se distinguen muy claramente en el hebreo, pero se confunden en muchos lugares de la versión en inglés (ver , , etc.). El tabernáculo

Job 1:3 — país al sur del Mar Muerto hasta Egipto, dice: "Durante todo este viaje, los camellos no tuvieron otro probador que los arbustos marchitos del desierto, excepto mi dromedario, a lo que di unos cuantos puñados de cebada cada noche. Trav. en Siria, p. 451; comparar Bruce’s Travels, vol. iv. pag. 596; Niebuhr, Reise-beschreibung nach Arabien, 1 grupo, s. 215; Sandys, pág. 138; La observación de Harmer 4: 415, ed. Lond. 1808, 8vo; y Rob California. Y quinientos yuntas de bueyes - El hecho de que Job

Job 3:5 — tsalmâveth sea extremadamente musical y poética. Se deriva de צל tsêl, "una sombra" y מות mâveth, "muerte;" y se usa para denotar la oscuridad más profunda; vea las notas en Isaías 9:2. Ocurre con frecuencia en las Sagradas Escrituras; compare Job 10:21; Salmo 23:4; Job 12:22; Job 16:16; Job 24:17; Job 34:22; Job 38:17; Amós 5:8; Jeremias 2:6. Se utiliza para denotar la morada de los espíritus difuntos, descrita por Job como "una tierra de oscuridad, como la oscuridad misma; de la sombra

Psalms 7 overview — 1. “Author of the psalm.” This psalm, according to the title, was composed by David; and there is nothing in it that is contrary to this supposition. Indeed, there were many circumstances in the life of David which would suggest the thoughts in this psalm;

Isaiah 53:3 — ekleipon) more than the sons of men.’ The Chaldee, ‘He is indeed despised, but he shall take away the glory of all kings; they are infirm and sad, as if exposed to all calamities and sorrows.’ Some render it, ‘Most abject of men,’ and they refer to Job 19:14, where the same word is used to denote those friends who forsake the unfortunate.The word חדל châdêl used here, is derived from the verb חדל châdal, which means “to cease, to leave off, to desist”; derived, says Gesenius (Lexicon), from the idea

Isaiah 53:3 — hombres. 'El Caldeo,' Él es despreciado, pero quitará la gloria de todos los reyes; están enfermos y tristes, como si estuvieran expuestos a todas las calamidades y penas. "Algunos lo expresan como" El más abyecto de los hombres ", y se refieren a Job 19:14, donde se usa la misma palabra para designar a esos amigos que abandonan a los desafortunados. La palabra חדל châdêl utilizada aquí, se deriva del verbo חדל châdal, que significa "cesar, a dejar, desistir "; deriva, dice Gesenius (Léxico), de

Isaiah 53:5 — of our sins,’ thus showing that it was a common belief that the Messiah would be violently put to death. The word rendered ‘wounded’ (מחלל mecholâl), is a Pual participle, from חלל châlal, to bore through, to perforate, to pierce; hence, to wound 1Sa 31:3; 1 Chronicles 10:3; Ezekiel 28:9. There is probably the idea of painful piercing, and it refers to some infliction of positive wounds on the body, and not to mere mental sorrows, or to general humiliation. The obvious idea would be that there

Isaiah 66 overview — en Babilonia, y está diseñado para ser a la vez una descripción profética y una reprensión de los pecados que prevalecerían después de su regreso, es evidente en toda la estructura del capítulo, y particularmente en las siguientes consideraciones : 1. No hay una descripción única, como en los capítulos anteriores, de la tierra como desolada, o la ciudad de Jerusalén y el templo en ruinas (ver Isaías 64:10). 2. No hay cargos contra ellos por ser idólatras, como había habido en los capítulos anteriores

Isaiah 66:19 — Y estableceré un signo entre ellos - (Vea las notas en Isaías 11:12; Isaías 18:3). Sobre el significado de la palabra "signo" (אות 'ôth), vea las notas en Isaías 7:11. Lo que significa aquí está determinado por la conexión. Me parece que requiere una interpretación como esta: que cuando Dios venga Isaías 66:17

Daniel 3:5 — principios. Se puede encontrar una investigación completa sobre los tipos de instrumentos musicales que se usan entre los hebreos en los diversos tratados sobre el tema en "Thesau Ant" de Ugolin. Sacra. tom. xxxii. Compare también las notas en Isaías 5:12. La palabra Chaldee se convirtió en “cucurucho” - קרנא qar e nâ' - lo mismo que la palabra hebrea קרן qeren - significa una "bocina", como e. g., de buey, ciervo, carnero. Entonces significa un instrumento musical de viento que se asemeja a una bocina,

Micah 4:13 — with oxen, partly with wheels of iron, or with planks set with sharp flints on an open place made hard to this end. The prophet joins another image, with this and represents Judah as being by God endued with strength, first as with a “horn of iron” 1 Kings 22:11 to cast the enemy to the ground, and then with “hoofs of brass,” wherewith to trample them to dust, as the stubble and chaff. “And I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord,” that is, to Myself; the Lord gathered them into the floor by

Zephaniah 1:5 — And them that worship the best of heaven upon the - (flat) housetops This was fulfilled by Josiah who destroyed “the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz” 2 Kings 23:12. Jeremiah speaks as if this worship was almost universal, as though well-near every roof had been profaned by this idolatry. “The houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon

Ephesians 1:5 — Having predestinated us - On the meaning of the word here used, see the notes at Romans 1:4; Romans 8:29, note. The word used πρωρίζω prōrizō means properly “to set bounds before;” and then to “pre-determine.” There is the essential idea of setting bounds or limits, and of doing this beforehand. It is not that God determined to do it

Philippians 2:4 — welfare of others lie near your hearts. This, of course, does not mean that there is to be any improper interference in the business of others, or that we are to have the character of “busy-bodies in other people’s matters” (compare the 2 Thessalonians 3:11, note; 1 Timothy 5:13, note; 1 Peter 4:15, note); but that we are to regard with appropriate solicitude the welfare of others, and to strive to do them good.But every man also on the things of others - It is the duty of every man to do this. No one

2 Thessalonians 2:4 — as to render nugatory the divine laws, by appointing others in their place. No one can reasonably doubt that all that is here affirmed may be found in the claims of the Pope of Rome. The assumptions of the papacy have related to the following things:(1) To authority above all the inferior orders of the priesthood - above all pastors, bishops, and primates.(2) Authority above all kings and emperors, “deposing some, and advancing others, obliging them to prostrate themselves before him, to kiss his

1 Timothy 6:5 — Disputas perversas - Margen, "agallas entre sí". Con respecto a la lectura correcta de este pasaje, ver Bib. Repositorio, vol. iii) pp. 61, 62. La palabra que se usa aquí en el Texto recibido - παραδιατρίβη paradiatribē - no aparece en ningún otro lugar del Nuevo Testamento. Significa propiamente "mal empleo"; entonces "ocupación ociosa". (Léxico de Robinson) El verbo del que se deriva

Hebrews 12:1 — and the manner in which they live. There is allusion here, doubtless, to the ancient games. A great multitude of spectators usually occupied the circular seats in the amphitheater, from which they could easily behold the combatants; see the notes on 1 Corinthians 9:24-27. In like manner, the apostle represents Christians as encompassed with the multitude of worthies to whom he had referred in the previous chapter. It cannot be fairly inferred from this that he means to say that all those ancient

1 Peter 2:8 — stumbling - A stone over which they, stumble, or against which they impinge. The idea seems to be that of a cornerstone which projects from the building, against which they dash themselves, and by which they are made to fall. See the notes at Matthew 21:44. The rejection of the Saviour becomes the means of their ruin. They refuse to build on him, and it is as if one should run against a solid projecting cornerstone of a house, that would certainly be the means of their destruction. Compare the notes

Revelation 8 overview — Análisis del capítulo Queda por romper un sello del misterioso rollo Apocalipsis 5:1: seis ya han revelado el contenido del volumen relacionado con el futuro. Era natural que la apertura de la séptima, y ​​la última, se atendiera con circunstancias de solemnidad especial, como todo lo que quedaba en este volumen por desarrollar, y como
