Genesis 50:10
threshing floor <01637> [the threshingfloor.]
This place was situated, according to Jerome, between the Jordan and the city of Jericho, two miles from the former, and three from the latter, where Bethagla was afterwards built. Procopius of Gaza states the same. As {aataad} signifies thorns, the place might have been remarkable for their production; though all the versions except the Arabic consider it as a proper name. As Moses wrote or revised his history on the east side of Jordan, the term beyond Jordan, in his five books, means westward of Jordan; but in other parts of Scripture it generally means eastward.
side <05676> [beyond.]
seven day <07651 03117> [seven days.]
Genesis 50:2
physicians ........... physicians <07495> [the physicians.]
The Hebrew {ropheim,} from {rapha,} to heal, is literally the healers, those whose business it was to heal, or restore the body from sickness, by administering proper medicines; and when death took place, to heal or preserve it from decomposition by embalming. The word {chanat,} to embalm, is also used in Arabic to express the reddening of leather; somewhat analogous to our tanning; which is probably the grand principal in embalming.
embalm ....... embalmed <02590> [embalmed.]
Genesis 3:1
serpent <05175> [Now.]
serpent <05175> [serpent.]
The Samaritan Copy, instead of {nachash,} "a serpent," reads {cachash,} "a liar or deceiver," read Joh 8:44.
said ........... said <0559> [he said.]
God ........... really .... God <0637 0430> [Yea, hath. Heb. Yea, because, etc. hath.]
