geneva@Leviticus:1:1 @ And the (note:)By this Moses declares that he taught nothing to the people but that which he received from God.(:note) LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, The Argument - As God daily by most singular benefits declared himself mindful of his Church: he did not want them to have opportunity to trust either in themselves, or to depend on others, either for lack of physical things, or anything that belonged to his divine service and religion. Therefore he ordained various kinds of duties and sacrifices, to assure them of forgiveness for their offences (if they offered them in true faith and obedience.) Also he appointed the priests and levites, their apparel, offices, conversation and portion; he showed what feasts they should observe, and when. Moreover, he declares by these sacrifices and ceremonies that the reward of sin is death, and that without the blood of Christ the innocent Lamb, there can be no forgiveness of sins. Because they should not give priority to their own inventions (which God detested, as appears by the terrible example of Nadab and Abihu) he prescribed even to the least things, what they should do, what beasts they should offer and eat, what diseases were contagious and to be avoided, how they should purge all types of filthiness and pollution, whose company they should flee, what marriages were lawful, and what customs were profitable. After declaring these things, he promised favour and blessing to those who keep his laws, and threatened his curse to those who transgressed them.

geneva@Leviticus:11:44 @ For I [am] the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be (note:)He shows why God chose them to be his people, (1Pe_1:15).(:note) holy; for I [am] holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

geneva@Numbers:6:2 @ Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate [themselves] to vow a vow of a (note:)Who separated themselves from the world, and dedicated themselves to God: a figure which was accomplished in Christ.(:note) Nazarite, to separate [themselves] unto the LORD:

geneva@Numbers:11:18 @ And say thou unto the people, (note:)Prepare yourselves that you may be clean.(:note) Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for [it was] well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

geneva@Numbers:11:32 @ And the people stood up all that day, and all [that] night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten (note:)Of Homer, read (Lev_27:16) also it signifies a heap, as in (Exo_8:14; Jdg_15:16).(:note) homers: and they spread [them] all abroad for themselves round about the camp.

geneva@Numbers:16:3 @ And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, (note:)Or let it suffice you: meaning, to have abused them this long.(:note) [Ye take] too much upon you, seeing all the congregation [are] holy, All are equally holy: therefore no one should be preferred above other: thus the wicked reason against God's ordinance. every one of them, and the LORD [is] among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?

geneva@Numbers:20:2 @ And there was no water for the congregation: and they (note:)Another rebellion was in Rephidim (Exo. strkjv@17:1-16), and this was in Kadesh.(:note) gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

geneva@Numbers:27:3 @ Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own (note:)According as all men die, for as much as they are sinners.(:note) sin, and had no sons.

geneva@Numbers:31:3 @ And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go (note:)As he had commanded in (Num_25:17), declaring also that the injury done against his people is done against him.(:note) against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.

geneva@Numbers:32:17 @ But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their (note:)In the land of Canaan.(:note) place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

geneva@Deuteronomy:1:1 @ These [be] the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on (note:)In the country of Moab.(:note) this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain So that the wilderness was between the sea and the plain of Moab. over against the Red [sea], between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab. The Argument - The wonderful love of God toward his Church is actively set forth in this book. Even through their ingratitude and many rebellions against God, for the space forty years. (Deu_9:7) they deserved to have been cut off from the number of his people, and forever to have been deprived of the use of his holy word and ordinances: yet he ever preserved his Church even for his own mercy's sake, and would still have his name called upon among them. Wherefore he brings them into the land of Canaan, destroys their enemies, gives them their country, towns and goods, and exhorts them by the example of their fathers (whose infidelity, idolatry, adulteries, complaining and rebellions, he had most severely punished) to fear and obey the Lord, to embrace and keep his law without adding to it or diminishing from it. For by his word he would be known to be their God, and they his people, by his word he would govern his Church, and by the same they would learn to obey him: by his word he would discern the false prophet from the true, light form darkness, ignorance from knowledge, and his own people from all the other nations and infidels: teaching them by it to refuse and detest, destroy and abolish whatever is not agreeable to his holy will, seem it otherwise never so good or precious in the eyes of man. For this cause God promised to raise up kings and governors, for the setting forth of his word and preservation of his Church: giving to them a special charge for the executing of it: whom therefore he wills to exercise themselves diligently in the continual study and meditation of the same: that they might learn to fear the Lord, love their subjects, abhor covetousness and vices, and whatever offends the majesty of God. As he had before instructed their fathers in all things belonging both to his spiritual service and also for the maintenance of that society which is between men: so he prescribes here anew all such laws and ordinances, which either concern his divine service, or else are necessary for a common good: appointing to every estate and degree their charge and duty: as well, how to rule and live in the fear of God, as to nourish friendship toward their neighbours, and to preserve the order which God has established among men: threatening most horrible plagues to them that transgress his commandments, and promising blessings and happiness to those who observe and obey them.

geneva@Deuteronomy:1:20 @ And (note:)So that the fault was in themselves, that they did not sooner possess the inheritance promised.(:note) I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.

geneva@Deuteronomy:2:4 @ And command thou the people, saying, Ye [are] to pass through the (note:)This was the second time, before they had caused the Israelites to return, (Num_20:21).(:note) coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:

geneva@Deuteronomy:2:20 @ (That also was accounted a land (note:)Who called themselves Rephaims: that is, preservers, or physicians to heal and reform vices: but were indeed Zamzummims, that is, wicked and abominable.(:note) of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;

geneva@Deuteronomy:4:15 @ Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no (note:)Signifying, that destruction is prepared for all who make any image to represent God.(:note) manner of similitude on the day [that] the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:

geneva@Deuteronomy:4:25 @ When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall (note:)Meaning by this all superstition and corruption of the true service of God.(:note) corrupt [yourselves], and make a graven image, [or] the likeness of any [thing], and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:

geneva@Deuteronomy:5:29 @ O (note:)He requires nothing but obedience from us, showing also that we ourselves are the unveiling of it.(:note) that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

geneva@Deuteronomy:7:20 @ Moreover the LORD thy God will send the (note:)There is not a creature so small, that I will not arm it to fight on your side against them.(:note) hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.

geneva@Deuteronomy:9:12 @ And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have (note:)As soon as man declines from the obedience of God, his ways are corrupt.(:note) corrupted [themselves]; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

geneva@Deuteronomy:11:16 @ Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not (note:)By devising foolish devotions according to your own fantasies.(:note) deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

geneva@Deuteronomy:26:11 @ And thou shalt rejoice in every good [thing] which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine (note:)Signifying that God does not give us goods for ourselves only, but to be used also by those who are committed to our charge.(:note) house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that [is] among you.

geneva@Deuteronomy:31:20 @ For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; (note:)For this is the nature of flesh, no longer to obey God, than it is under the rod.(:note) then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.

geneva@Deuteronomy:31:29 @ For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt [yourselves], and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the (note:)By idolatry, and worshipping images, which are the work of your hands.(:note) work of your hands.

geneva@Deuteronomy:32:27 @ Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should (note:)Rejoicing to see the godly afflicted, and attributing to themselves that which is wrought by God's hand.(:note) behave themselves strangely, [and] lest they should say, Our hand [is] high, and the LORD hath not done all this.

geneva@Joshua:2:16 @ And she said unto them, Get you to the (note:)which was near to the city.(:note) mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.

geneva@Joshua:4:6 @ That this may be a sign among you, [that] when your (note:)God commands that not only we ourselves profit by this wonderful work, but that our posterity may know the cause of it, and glorify his Name.(:note) children ask [their fathers] in time to come, saying, What [mean] ye by these stones?

geneva@Joshua:7:13 @ Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, [There is] an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the (note:)Meaning, the man that took of the thing forbidden.(:note) accursed thing from among you.

geneva@Joshua:8:2 @ And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city (note:)Meaning on the west side, as in (Jos_8:9).(:note) behind it.
