| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah - It is well known: it cannot be a matter of dispute. About the fact that the Lord Jesus was of the tribe of Judah, there could be no doubt; compare Mat 1:3. But probably the apostle means here to refer to more than that simple fact. It was a doctrine of the Old Testament, and was admitted by the Jews, that the Messiah was to be of that tribe; see Gen 49:10; Isa 11:1; Mic 5:2; Mat 2:6. This was an additional consideration to show that there was to be a change of some kind in the office of the priesthood, since it was declared (Ps. cx) that the Messiah was to be a priest. The fact that the Messiah is to be of the tribe of Judah is still admitted by the Jews. As their distinction of tribes now, however, is broken up, and as it is impossible for them to tell who belongs to the tribe of Judah, it is held by them that when he comes this will be made known by miracle.
Of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood - That is, in the Mosaic laws respecting the office of priest, this tribe is not mentioned. All the arrangements pertain to the tribe of Levi. |

| For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah - Whatever difficulties have arisen since, during so long a tract of time, it was then clear beyond dispute. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| For it is evident - As the apostle speaks here with so much confidence, it follows that our Lord's descent from the tribe of Judah was incontrovertible. The genealogical tables, both in Matthew and Luke, establish this point; and whatever difficulties we may find in them now, there were none apprehended in those days, else the enemies of the Gospel would have urged these as a chief and unanswerable argument against Christ and his Gospel. |
5 And [2532] one [1520] of [1537] the elders [4245] saith [3004] unto me [3427], Weep [2799] not [3361]: behold [2400], the Lion [3023] of [5607] [1537] the tribe [5443] of Juda [2455], the Root [4491] of David [1138], hath prevailed [3528] to open [455] the book [975], and [2532] to loose [3089] the seven [2033] seals [4973] thereof [846].
4 And [1161] Joseph [2501] also [2532] went up [305] from [575] Galilee [1056], out of [1537] the city [4172] of Nazareth [3478], into [1519] Judaea [2449], unto [1519] the city [4172] of David [1138], which [3748] is called [2564] Bethlehem [965]; (because [1223] he [846] was [1511] of [1537] the house [3624] and [2532] lineage [3965] of David [1138]:)
5 To be taxed [583] with [4862] Mary [3137] his [846] espoused [3423] wife [1135], being [5607] great with child [1471].

27 To [4314] a virgin [3933] espoused [3423] to a man [435] whose [3739] name [3686] was Joseph [2501], of [1537] the house [3624] of David [1138]; and [2532] the virgin's [3933] name [3686] was Mary [3137].
10 The sceptre [07626] shall not depart [05493] from Judah [03063], nor a lawgiver [02710] from between his feet [07272], until [03588] Shiloh [07886] come [0935]; and unto him shall the gathering [03349] of the people [05971] be.
15 And [2532] account [2233] that the longsuffering [3115] of our [2257] Lord [2962] is salvation [4991]; even as [2531] our [2257] beloved [27] brother [80] Paul [3972] also [2532] according to [2596] the wisdom [4678] given [1325] unto him [846] hath written [1125] unto you [5213];
6 And [2532] thou [4771] Bethlehem [965], in the land [1093] of Juda [2448], art [1488] not [3760] the least [1646] among [1722] the princes [2232] of Juda [2448]: for [1063] out of [1537] thee [4675] shall come [1831] a Governor [2233], that [3748] shall rule [4165] my [3450] people [2992] Israel [2474].
2 But thou, Bethlehem [01035] Ephratah [0672], though thou be little [06810] among the thousands [0505] of Judah [03063], yet out of thee shall he come forth [03318] unto me that is to be ruler [04910] in Israel [03478]; whose goings forth [04163] have been from of old [06924], from everlasting [03117] [05769].
1 And there shall come forth [03318] a rod [02415] out of the stem [01503] of Jesse [03448], and a Branch [05342] shall grow [06509] out of his roots [08328]:
10 The sceptre [07626] shall not depart [05493] from Judah [03063], nor a lawgiver [02710] from between his feet [07272], until [03588] Shiloh [07886] come [0935]; and unto him shall the gathering [03349] of the people [05971] be.
3 And [1161] Judas [2455] begat [1080] Phares [5329] and [2532] Zara [2196] of [1537] Thamar [2283]; and [1161] Phares [5329] begat [1080] Esrom [2074]; and [1161] Esrom [2074] begat [1080] Aram [689];
5 When they told [05046] it unto David [01732], he sent [07971] to meet [07125] them, because the men [0582] were greatly [03966] ashamed [03637]: and the king [04428] said [0559], Tarry [03427] at Jericho [03405] until your beards [02206] be grown [06779], and then return [07725].
23 And that the whole land [0776] thereof is brimstone [01614], and salt [04417], and burning [08316], that it is not sown [02232], nor beareth [06779], nor any grass [06212] groweth [05927] therein, like the overthrow [04114] of Sodom [05467], and Gomorrah [06017], Admah [0126], and Zeboim [06636], which the LORD [03068] overthrew [02015] in his anger [0639], and in his wrath [02534]:
18 Thorns also [06975] and thistles [01863] shall it bring forth [06779] to thee; and thou shalt eat [0398] the herb [06212] of the field [07704];
5 And every plant [07880] of the field [07704] before [02962] it was in the earth [0776], and every herb [06212] of the field [07704] before [02962] it grew [06779]: for [03588] the LORD [03068] God [0430] had not [03808] caused it to rain [04305] upon the earth [0776], and there was not [0369] a man [0120] to till [05647] the ground [0127].
2 But unto you that fear [03373] my name [08034] shall the Sun [08121] of righteousness [06666] arise [02224] with healing [04832] in his wings [03671]; and ye shall go forth [03318], and grow up [06335] as calves [05695] of the stall [04770].
1 Comfort [05162] ye, comfort [05162] ye my people [05971], saith [0559] your God [0430].
12 How art thou fallen [05307] from heaven [08064], O Lucifer [01966], son [01121] of the morning [07837] [03213] ! how art thou cut down [01438] to the ground [0776], which didst weaken [02522] the nations [01471]!
33 And it shall be, that in the morning [01242], as soon as the sun [08121] is up [02224], thou shalt rise early [07925], and set [06584] upon the city [05892]: and, behold, when he and the people [05971] that is with him come out [03318] against thee, then mayest thou do [06213] to them as thou [03027] shalt find occasion [04672].
17 I shall see [07200] him, but not now: I shall behold [07789] him, but not nigh [07138]: there shall come [01869] a Star [03556] out of Jacob [03290], and a Sceptre [07626] shall rise [06965] out of Israel [03478], and shall smite [04272] the corners [06285] of Moab [04124], and destroy [06979] all the children [01121] of Sheth [08352] [08351].
3 If the sun [08121] be risen [02224] upon him, there shall be blood [01818] shed for him; for he should make full [07999] restitution [07999]; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold [04376] for his theft [01591].
31 And as he passed over [05674] Penuel [06439] the sun [08121] rose [02224] upon him, and he halted [06760] upon his thigh [03409].
54 And [1161] he said [3004] also [2532] to the people [3793], When [3752] ye see [1492] a cloud [3507] rise [393] out of [575] the west [1424], straightway [2112] ye say [3004], There cometh [2064] a shower [3655]; and [2532] so [3779] it is [1096].
24 Some [5100] men's [444] sins [266] are [1526] open beforehand [4271], going before [4254] to [1519] judgment [2920]; and [1161] [2532] some [5100] men they follow after [1872].
