Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The Lord your God, he is God - From the rumour of God's miraculous interpositions Rahab believed, and makes the self-same confession to which Moses endeavors to bring Israel by rehearsing similar arguments Deu 4:39. Rahab had only heard of what Israel had experienced. Her faith then was ready. It is noteworthy, too, that the same reports which work faith and conversion in the harlot, cause only terror and astonishment among her countrymen. (Compare Luk 8:37-39.) |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Melted - That is, were dissolved, lost all courage. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
He is God in heaven above, and to earth beneath - This confession of the true God is amazingly full, and argues considerable light and information. As if she had said, "I know your God to be omnipotent and omnipresent:" and in consequence of this faith she hid the spies, and risked her own life in doing it. But how had she this clear knowledge of the Divine nature?
1. Possibly the knowledge of the true God was general in the earth at this time, though connected with much superstition and idolatry; the people believing that there was a god for every district, and for every people; for the mountains and for the valleys; see Kg1 20:23.
2. Or she received this instruction from the spies, with whom she appears to have had a good deal of conversation; or,
3. She had it from a supernatural influence of God upon her own soul. She probably made a better use of the light she had received than the rest of her countrymen, and God increased that light. |
37 Then [2532] the whole [537] multitude [4128] of the country [4066] of the Gadarenes [1046] round about [4066] besought [2065] him [846] to depart [565] from [575] them [846]; for [3754] they were taken [4912] with great [3173] fear [5401]: and [1161] he [846] went up [1684] into [1519] the ship [4143], and returned back again [5290].
38 Now [1161] the man [435] out of [575] whom [3739] the devils [1140] were departed [1831] besought [1189] him [846] that he might be [1511] with [4862] him [846]: but [1161] Jesus [2424] sent [630] him [846] away [630], saying [3004],
39 Return [5290] to [1519] thine own [4675] house [3624], and [2532] shew [1334] how great things [3745] God [2316] hath done [4160] unto thee [4671]. And [2532] he went his way [565], and published [2784] throughout [2596] the whole [3650] city [4172] how great things [3745] Jesus [2424] had done [4160] unto him [846].
39 Know [03045] therefore this day [03117], and consider [07725] it in thine heart [03824], that the LORD [03068] he is God [0430] in heaven [08064] above [04605], and upon the earth [0776] beneath: there is none else.
23 And the servants [05650] of the king [04428] of Syria [0758] said [0559] unto him, Their gods [0430] are gods [0430] of the hills [02022]; therefore they were stronger [02388] than we; but [0199] let us fight [03898] against them in the plain [04334], and surely [03808] we shall be stronger [02388] than they.
