1 Kings 8:46
sin ........... sinless <02398> [If they sin.]
The second clause of this verse, as it is here translated, renders this supposition entirely nugatory; for if there be no man that sinneth not, it is useless to say, if they sin: but this objection is removed by rendering the original, "If they shall sin against thee, (for there is no man that, {lo yechetai,} may not sin;") i.e., there is no man impeccable or infallible; none that is not liable to transgress.
one <0120> [there is no man.]
over .............. land <06440 0776> [unto the land.]
1 Kings 21:2
Give .... vineyard ..................... give ...... vineyard ........... pay <05414 03754> [Give me.]
The request of Ahab, at first view, appears fair and honourable. But, as he most evidentially wished Naboth to alienate it finally, which was expressly forbidden and provided against in the law of God, (Le 25:14-28,) it was high iniquity in Ahab to tempt him to do it, and to covet it showed the depravity of his soul.
vegetable garden <03419 01588> [a garden of herbs.]
better ......... prefer <05869 02896> [seem good to thee. Heb. be good in thine eyes.]
