| work wilily |
Gen 34:13; 1Ki 20:31-33; Mat 10:16; Luk 16:8 |
| ambassadors |
The word tzir, an ambassador, properly denotes a hinge; because an ambassador is a person upon whom the business turns as upon a hinge. So the Latin Cardinalis, from cardo, a hinge, was the title of the prime minister of the emperor Theodosius, though now applied only to the Pope's electors and counsellors. |
| wine bottles |
These bottles being made of skin, were consequently liable to be rent, and capable of being mended; which is done, according to Chardin, by putting in a piece, or by gathering up the wounded piece in the manner of a purse; and sometimes by inserting a flat piece of wood. Psa 119:83; Mat 9:17; Mar 2:22; Luk 5:37,38 |
