Genesis 21:14

21:14

Early <07925> [A.M. 2112. B.C. 1892. rose up.]

took <03947> [took.]

child <03206> [child.]

Or, youth, (see ver. 12, 20,) as Ishmael was now 16 or 17 years of age.

sent <07971> [sent.]

wandering aimlessly <08582> [wandered.]

Beer Sheba <0884> [Beer-sheba.]

So called when Moses wrote; but not before Abraham's covenant with Abimelech, ver. 31. Such instances of the figure prolepsis are not infrequent in the Pentateuch.


Genesis 28:20

28:20

made <05087> [vowed.]

God <0430> [If God.]

gives <05414> [will give.]


Genesis 37:25

37:25

sat <03427> [they sat.]

Ishmaelites <03459> [Ishmeelites.]

Gilead <01568> [Gilead.]

spices <05219> [spicery.]

{Nechoth,} is rendered by the LXX. "incense;" Syriac, "resin;" Samaritan, "balsam;" Acquila, "storax;" which is followed by Bochart. This drug is abundant in Syria, and here Moses joins with it resin, honey, and myrrh; which agrees with the nature of the storax, which is the resin of a tree of the same name, of a reddish colour, and peculiarly pleasant fragrance.

balm <06875> [balm]

{Tzeri,} which in Arabic, as a verb, is to flow, seems to be a common name, as balm or balsam with us, for many of those oily, resinous substances, which flow spontaneously, or by incision, from various trees or plants; accordingly the ancients have generally interpreted it resin.

myrrh <03910> [myrrh.]

{Lot,} is probably, as Junius, De Dieu, Celsius, and Ursinus contend, the same as the Arabic {ladan}, Greek [ladanon,] and Latin {ladanum}.


Genesis 39:6

39:6

left <05800> [he left.]

except <0518> [save.]

well built ... good-looking <08389 03303> [a goodly person.]

{Yephaih toar, weephaih maraih,} "beautiful in person and beautiful in countenance." Joseph's beauty is so celebrated in the East, that a handsome man is frequently compared to him; and the Persian poets vie with each other in descriptions of his comeliness.


Genesis 41:55

41:55

experienced <07456> [famished.]

Joseph <03212 03130> [Go unto.]


Genesis 43:32

43:32

eating .......... eat <03899 0398> [eat bread.]

disgusting <08441> [for that is an abomination.]

The Chaldee Paraphrast renders this clause, "Because the Hebrews eat the cattle which the Egyptians worship." But, as we learn from ver. 16, compared with this verse, that the provision for the entertainment of the Egyptians themselves was animal food, this reason cannot be just. The true reason seems to be that assigned by the LXX., [Bedlyma gar estin tois Aigyptiois pas poim‚n probaton:] "For every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians."


Genesis 47:15

47:15

Give ... food <03051 03899> [A.M. 2301. B.C. 1703. Give us bread.]


Genesis 47:19

47:19

land Buy ..... land .......... land .................. land <07069 0127> [buy us.]

Give <05414> [and give.]
