THE BIBLE COMMENTARY 



[POPULARLY KNOWN IN ENGLAND AS "THE SPEAKER'S COMMENTARY "•, 



A Plain Explanatory Exposition of the Holy 

 Scriptures for every Bible Reader. 



To be published at regular intervals, in royal octavo volumes, at the uniform prta of 

 $5.00 per volume. 



WITH OCCASIONAL ILLUSTRATIONS. 



The great object of the BIBLE COMMENTARY is to put every general reader and etn 

 dent in full possession of whatever information may be necessary to enable him to unaerstand 

 the Holy Scriptures ; to give him, as far as possible, the same advantages as the Scholar, and 

 to supply him with satisfactory answers to objections resting upon misrepresentations ra 

 misinterpretations of the text To secure this end most effectually, the Comment is chiefly 

 explanatory, presenting in a concise and readable form the results of learned investigations 

 carried on during the last half century. When fuller discussions of difficult passages or im 

 portant subjects are necessary, they are placed at the end of the chapter or volume. 



The text is reprinted without alteration, from the Authorized Version of 1611, with margina, 

 references and renderings; but the notes forming this Commentary will embody amended 

 translations of passages proved to be incorrect in that version. 



.The work will be divided into EIGHT SECTIONS, which it is expected will be comprised 

 In as many volumes, and each volume will be a royal octavo Typographically, special pains 

 has been taken to adapt the work to the use of older readers and students. 



N.B.— The American edition of the Bible Commentary is printed from stereotype plates, 

 duplicated from those upon which the English. edition is printed, and it is fully equal to 

 that in every respect
