Genesis 41:1-57 — - Joseph Was Exalted1. יאר ye'or, “river, canal,” mostly applied to the Nile. Some suppose the word to be Coptic.2. אחוּ 'āchû, “sedge, reed-grass, marsh-grass.” This word is probably Coptic.8. חרטמים charṭumı̂ym, ἐξηγηταὶ exēgētai, ἱερογραμματεῖς hierogrammateis,

Genesis 6:1-8 — line of descent from Adam through Sheth, the seed of God, to Noah, the author proceeds to describe the general spread and growth of moral evil in the race of man, and the determination of the Lord to wipe it away from the face of the earth.Genesis 6:1-4There are two stages of evil set forth in Genesis 6:1-4 - the one contained in the present four verses, and the other in the following. The former refers to the apostasy of the descendants of Sheth, and the cause and consequences of it. When man began

Isaiah 19:18 — that the event here foretold would take place “somewhere” in the period that is embraced in the design of the prophecy. That is, the event recorded in this verse would occur in the series of events that the prophet saw respecting Egypt (see Isaiah 4:1). The sense is, that somewhere in the general time here designated Isaiah 19:4-17, the event here described would take place. There would be an extensive fear of Yahweh, and an extensive embracing of the true religion, in the land of Egypt.Shall five

Daniel 1:16 — abstain from music, from all sorts of agreeable smells, who go very meanly clothed, are almost always wet, either by going into water, or by rain; “yet,” says he, “I have seen also many of them very handsome and healthful.” Harmer’s “Observa.” ii. pp. 112, 113.(b) The experiment has often been made, and with equal success, in modern times, and especially since the commencement of the temperance reformation, and an opportunity has been given of furnishing the most decisive proofs of the effects of temperance

Daniel 11:45 — that is, the death of Antiochus - would be in the mountain here referred to.Between the seas - That is, between some seas in the “east,” or “north” - for it was by tidings from the east and north that he would be disturbed and summoned forth, Daniel 11:44. We are, therefore, most naturally to look for this place in one of those quarters. The fact was, that he had two objects in view - the one was to put down the revolt in Armenia, and the other to replenish his exhausted treasury from Persia. The

Daniel 11:45 — decir, la muerte de Antíoco, estaría en la montaña a la que aquí se hace referencia. Entre los mares - Es decir, entre algunos mares en el "este" o "norte" - porque era por las noticias del este y el norte que él ser molestado y convocado, Daniel 11:44. Por lo tanto, lo más natural es que busquemos este lugar en uno de esos barrios. El hecho era que tenía dos objetos a la vista: uno para sofocar la revuelta en Armenia y el otro para reponer su tesoro agotado de Persia. Lo primero sería, naturalmente,

Daniel 12:13 — But go thou thy way until the end be - See Daniel 12:4, Daniel 12:9. The meaning is, that nothing more would be communicated, and that he must wait for the disclosures of future times. When that should occur which is here called “the end,” he would understand this more fully and perfectly. The language

Daniel 3:1 — would have been immense, and probably beyond the means even of Nebuchadnezzar. The presumption is, that it was merely covered over with plates of gold, for this was the usual manner in which statues erected in honor of the gods were made. See Isaiah 40:19.It is not known in honor of whom this statue was erected. Grotius supposed that it was reared to the memory of Nabopolassar, the father of Nebuchadnezzar, and observes that it was customary to erect statues in this manner in honor of parents. Prideaux,

Daniel 3:1 — habría sido inmensa, y probablemente fuera del alcance de Nabucodonosor. La presunción es que simplemente estaba cubierto con planchas de oro, ya que esta era la forma habitual en que se hacían las estatuas erigidas en honor de los dioses. Ver Isaías 40:19. No se sabe en honor de quién se erigió esta estatua. Grocio supuso que se había criado en la memoria de Nabopolasar, el padre de Nabucodonosor, y observa que era costumbre erigir estatuas de esta manera en honor de los padres. Prideaux, Hales, el

Daniel 9:26 — he says that it would be “after” אחרי 'achărēy - “subsequent” to the close of that period. The word does not mean necessarily immediately, but it denotes what is to succeed - to follow - and would be well expressed by the word “afterward:” Genesis 15:14; Genesis 23:19; Genesis 25:26, et al. See Gesenius, Lexicon The natural meaning here would be, that this would be the “next event” in the order of events to be reckoned; it would be that on which the prophetic eye would rest subsequent to the close

Jonah 1:3 — Jonás sabía bien, que el hombre no podía escapar de la presencia de Dios, a quien conocía como el Auto existente, el único que es, el Creador del cielo, la tierra y el mar. Él no "huyó" y luego "de Su presencia", sabiendo bien lo que David dijo Salmo 139:7, Salmo 139:9-1, "a dónde iré de Tu Espíritu, o a dónde huiré". de tu presencia? Si tomo las alas de la mañana, y habito en las partes más extremas del mar, incluso allí Tu mano me guiará y Tu mano derecha me sostendrá ”. Jonás huyó, no de la presencia

Micah 3:12 — estaban seguros. ¡Antinomios prácticos! Dios dice que, "por ellos", Sión, contaminada por sus obras, debería ser destruida. El cumplimiento de la profecía se retrasó por el arrepentimiento bajo Ezequías. ¿No lo hicieron, los ancianos preguntan Jeremias 26:19, temieron al Señor y rogaron al Señor, y el Señor se arrepintió del mal que había pronunciado contra ellos? Pero la profecía permaneció, como la de Jonás contra Nínive, y, cuando el hombre se deshizo y se arrepintió de su arrepentimiento, encontró

2 Corinthians 12:4 — Into paradise - The word “paradise” (παράδεισος paradeisos) occurs but three times in the New Testament; Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 12:4; Revelation 2:7. It occurs often in the Septuagint, as the translation of the word garden; Genesis 2:8-10, Genesis 2:15-16; Genesis 3:1-3, Genesis 3:8,Genesis 3:16, Genesis 3:23-24; Genesis 13:10; Numbers 24:6; Isaiah 51:3; Ezekiel 28:13; Ezekiel

2 Corinthians 12:4 — en el paraíso - la palabra "paradise" ( παράδεισος span> Span> Paradeisos) Ocurre, pero tres veces en el Nuevo Testamento; Lucas 23:43; 2 Corintios 12:4; Apocalipsis 2:7. Ocurre a menudo en la Septuaginta, como la traducción de la palabra jardín; Génesis 2:8-10, Gen 2: 15-16 ; Génesis 3:1-3, Génesis 3:8, Génesis 3:16, GEN 3: 23-24 ; Génesis 13:10; Números 24:6; Isaías 51:3; Ezequiel 28:13;

2 Corinthians 3:18 — But we all - All Christians. The discussion in the chapter has related mainly to the apostles; but this declaration seems evidently to refer to all Christians, as distinguished from the Jews.With open face - compare note on 1 Corinthians 13:12. Tyndale renders this: “and now the Lord’s glory appeareth in us all as in a glass.” The sense is, “with unveiled face,” alluding to the fact 2 Corinthians 3:13 that the face of Moses was veiled, so that the children of Israel could

Colossians 2:23 — no more days and ordinances than he has directed. There is much apparent piety about these things; but there is much wickedness of heart at the bottom, and there is nothing that more tends to corrupt pure religion.And humility - Notes, Colossians 2:18. There is a great show of reverence for divine things in the manner in which they pursue their investigations, and in their humble and meek compliance with painful rites and ceremonies; in fastings, abstinence, and penances. Under all this there lurks

Colossians 2:23 — designado, y no observamos más días y ordenanzas de las que ha ordenado. Hay mucha piedad aparente sobre estas cosas; pero hay mucha maldad de corazón en el fondo, y no hay nada que tienda más a corromper la religión pura. Y humildad - Notas, Colosenses 2:18. Hay una gran muestra de reverencia por las cosas divinas en la forma en que llevan a cabo sus investigaciones y en su humilde y manso cumplimiento de los ritos y ceremonias dolorosas; en ayunos, abstinencia y penitencias. Debajo de todo esto, a menudo

Hebrews 2:9 — angels. The point of this is, not that he suffered, and not that he tasted death for every man; but that “on account of this,” or “as a reward” for thus suffering, he was crowned with glory and honor, and that he thus fulfilled all that David Psalms 8:1-9 had said of the dignity and honor of man. The object of the apostle is, to show that he was “exalted,” and in order to this he shows why it was - to wit, because he had suffered death to redeem man; compare Philippians 2:8-9.Who was made a little

Hebrews 6:6 — him, crucify him.” The “intensity and aggravation” of such a crime perhaps the apostle meant to indicate by the intensive or emphatic ἀνὰ ana in the word ἀνασταυροῦντας anastaurountas. Such an act would render their salvation impossible, because: (1) The crime would be aggravated beyond that of those who rejected him and put him to death - for they knew not what they did; and, (2) Because it would be a rejection of the only possible plan of salvation after they had had experience of its power and

Revelation 16:19 — Y la gran ciudad se dividió en tres partes: La ciudad de Babilonia; o el poderoso poder representado por Babilonia. Vea las notas en Apocalipsis 14:8. La división mencionada aquí en tres partes fue manifiestamente con referencia a su destrucción: que una parte fue herida y las otras permanecieron por un tiempo, o que una forma de destrucción se produjo en una parte y otra en las otras. En Apocalipsis
