Shadow]

In the shadow of death, Luk. 1. 79. As the valley of the shadow of death, Psal. 23. 4. signifies, a gloomy vale of danger, of the utmost evil (there being less warmth or light (as being shaded by the hills ) and more subject to the incursion of wolves, then hills ) so proportionably here (in a spiritual sense) the shadow of death is a state of sin and ignorance, want of light or knowledge, and want of warmth or grace; the description of the state under the Law, which affordeth neither of these in any proportion to what is now done by Christ, and so left men in a dangerous condition, till Christ was thus pleased to shine upon them, and thereby to rescue them out of it. Dr. Ham. Annot. s.

Shadow]

Under his shadow bad I delight, and sat down.

Shadow]

Heb. 10. 1. The Law having a shadow of good things to come. Some are of opinion that here St. Paul alludes to the custom of Painters, who first make a rude draught, and then out of it a perfect and lively picture. These make the sense this, viz. That the Old Covenant did contain only dark resemblances and Types of heavenly things, no lively representations of them; this being reserved unto the time of the Gospel, wherein Christ and all spiritual blessings in him are clearly and plainly manisested. Others are of opinion that St. Paul alludes unto the shadow of a body, and these make this the sense of the words, viz. That the Old Covenant had only Types, wherein Christ and heavenly things through him, were darkly represented, not the substance and truth of the things themselves. This is the more probable opinion, see Col. 2. 17. Annot.

Ye cannot perceive in a shadow the distinct parts and members of a body, the eyes, the face, hands, &c. Only the shadow tells you there is a body; but an Image hath the whole lineaments and proportion of the body in it. In it 〈◊〉 may behold the several parts and dimensions of the body; so in the Law, they had a sight of Christ, yet it was darkly in a shadow; we have the very express form and Image of Christ with all his benefits. Jones.

It was not so much as an Image, a shadow is not so much as an Image, but the Image is not so much as the thing itself. It was not an Image, but a shadow. Leighs Ann.

A shadow from hear]

;;God's protection of his people from violence and cruelty of their enemies, to be comfortable as a shadow is in time of drought and heat, Isa. 25. 4.

The shadow of my roof]

;;Mine house, therein to take his rest safely. Gen. 19. 8. Seeing they are come under the shadow of my roof.

Shadowing with wings]

Isa. 18. 1. Or, Shadowy on the borders: That is, which is full of shadows on the frontiers, or borders, or limits, or bounds; and that by reason of the multitude of high mountains that lay there, and made those shadows. Some understand here, by the shadowy wings, the great number of Sails of Ships, that did cast a shadow. Then the meaning is this, Woe to the Land where all those Ships are. Others conceive that by the shadow of the wings here is signified, that the Ethiopians and Egyptians (as neighbors and confederates) were wont to take other Nations and people under their protection. See Isa. 30. 2, 3. &c. D. Transl. & Annot.

And the shadows flee away]

Cant. 2. 17. & Cant. 4. 6. Untill all these shadows of ignorance, of infidelity, of troubles of conscience, and-of outward tribulations be utterly dispersed and chased away. Hall.

Or decline, or be removed and vanish away; that is, till full and perfect day: for the higher the Sun riseth, shadows lessen, until at noon there be almost none at all. And so then will all shadows vanish, as the shadows of the Law fled at his first coming, Col. 2. 17. They may darken the Church for a time, but when the day of the Lord shall appear, there shall not be so much as a mention of them, Jer. 3. 16. Annot.

This was fulfilled in those Prodigies and signs which appeared upon the Earth, and in the Heavens, before, and at our Savior's coming in the flesh, to proclaim and confirm the Gospel. Some understand it of Christ's second coming, that is, of judgment, whereof St. Peter speaks, 2 Pet. 4. 10. but it is plain that the Prophet speaks of shaking the Earth and the Heavens, which should be while the second Temple stood; for it is said, that the desire of all Nations, that is, the Messias, should come, and fill the second Temple with glory. See Hag. 2. 7, 8. Annot.

To be shaken in mind]

• 3. For to account a thing to turn to our shame and disgrace, Ezr. 8. 22. Mar. 8. 38. Job 6. 20. Rom. 1. 16. In this respect God is not ashamed to be called, The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Heb. 11. 16.

When silver is alone, we must understand Shekels, as Mat. 26. 15. So Hos. 3. 2. Gen. 20. 16. It was divided in parts, as the half shekel, which everyone in Israel paid to the Lord when they went up to Jerusalem; because 1. All held their life equally from God.

2. Because all were redeemed alike by Christ.

3. Because the Lord accepteth of us half-pay for the whole; and though our service be very imperfect, yet the Lord giveth us the whole Shekel, Mat. 20.

Shew]

A vain show, Psal. 39. 6. Hebr. image, marg.

Shew of their countenance, Isa. 3. 9. or trial, as some: for it comes from a word that signifies to acknowledge, Prov. 20. 11. or strangeness as others, because the same word sometime signifieth to estrange, 1 King. 14. 5, 6. Or, as others, hardness, from a word that signifies to harden, Job 19. 3. and the word in Arabic is said to be so used. Nor is it unusual in the Latin tongue, to say, one of an hard face, for an impudent man. However, the sense is certainly this, that their very looks alone were evidence enough, without further proof to convince them, how they stood inwardly affected; the disposition of their heart therein, as evidently offering itself to view, as if it were even enstamped on their faces, or engraven on their foreheads; and that their extreme impudency is implied, the sequel shows. See Jer. 3. 3. An harlots forehead. Annot.

And for a show make long prayers, Luk. 20. 47. The word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 for the most part is used of a false or feigned cause, yet specious, and having the show of truth, when one pretends something as a cause, when in the mean time he hideth the true cause, as here. Leigh. Cr. Sac.

To make a fair show, Gal. 6. 12. Gr. good face, or fair countenance. A fair show against the truth, in keeping carnal Rites and Ceremonies; they urge Circumcision upon you, not out of any affection and zeal that they bear to the Law; but only for this purpose, that they may purchase themselves favor among those of their own sort, and escape the malice and persecution of the Jews. Annot.

He made a show of them openly, Col. 2. 15. Bringing them to open shame. Annot.

Shew-bread]

was twelve loaves set upon a Table of Shittim wood, Exod. 25. 23, 30. It was continually set before the Lord. They were made of fine flower; they represented the twelve Tribes of Israel: They stood always before the Lord, called therefore panis facierum, or propositionis, to signify that the Church is always the object of the eye of God; they were renewed every Sabbath, Lev. 24. 8. to signify the renewing of the graces of God to his Church. None might eat of it but the Priests, who served in their course that week, and their Sons, Lev. 24. 9. So long as they did eat of it, they were not to company with their Wives, Exod. 19. 14. This abstinence 1 Sam. 21. is called a clean way; therefore when David in necessity came to eat of it, the Priests told him, that he might not eat of it, if the men's Vessels were not sanctified; which is nothing else but if they had companyed with their Wives; and by vessels is meant the body, so called 1 Thess. 4. 4. That this is the meaning, is clear by David' s answer, that they had abstained from women these three days, 1 Sam. 21. 6, 7.

Shew-bread]

1 Chron. 9. 32. Heb. bread of ordering, marg.

Shew]

Shew thyself, Psal. 94. 1. Heb. shine forth, marg. Shew forth themselves in him, Mat. 14. 2. or wrought by him, marg. Showing himself, Cant. 2. 8. Heb. flourishing, marg.

;;3. Divine defense and protection. Psal. 18. 2. The Lord is my shield. An heavenly shield.

;;4. Magistrates, being instruments of safety and defense to good men. Psal. 47. 9. The shields of the world belong to God. An earthly shield.

Shields]

See Bucklers.

Shiggaion]

Psal. 7. the Title. This word cometh from another Hebrew word signifying to stray or wander, whereby some do conjecture, that this was a various Song, skipping from one kind of tune into another: and used in great anguishes of heart, when as the thoughts and stirrings of the heart, through greatness of trouble, do vary and fall from one strain unto another in a straying and scattering manner. D. Annot.

Some would have it an Instrument of Music; others, a certain tune; or beginning of a Song, or certain kind of Verse. Annot.

An artificial Song of David, or David's delight. The word properly signifieth aberration, or, ignoration, and is here and in Hab. 3. 1. only used in the title of Songs, which seem to be made of sundry variable and wandering Verses, which being composed by art, cause the more delight. The Hebrew word Shagah whereof this is derived, is used for delight, or wandering in pleasure, Prov. 5. 19, 20. according to which we may name this Song, David's delight, or Solace: Or, in the other signification, David's Error; as setting forth, the sum of his cares, which made him almost to go astray. The Chaldee expoundeth it, David's Interpretation of the Law. Ainsworth.

Shiloh]

;;Secundine, or after-birth, which being peculiar unto women, noteth him to be that seed of the woman, Gen. 3. 15. and Son of Mary, Luk. 1. Gen. 49. 10. Till Shiloh come; that is, Christ made of a woman, Gal. 4. 4.

;; Shiloh. The prosperer, the safe-maker, Gen. 49. 10. The Hebrew hath an unusual manner of writing, implying his Son, and her Son, as a Prophesy that Christ should be the Son of Mary the Virgin, of the linage of Judah. It is in Hebr. the secundine, or after-birth, to signify, that Christ did take our infirmities, and brought us peace, and prosperity, even salvation.

Shiloh]

Untill Shiloh come, Gen. 49. 10. The word is derived from Shalah, which signifieth to cease, and be quiet, and peaceable; and the same is taken not only in a passive sense to be so, but in an active to make so; and so it is put for a prosperous or safe-maker or Savior, the Author of quietness and safety to others. It is taken also for the tunicle or skin in which the child is wrapped in the Mothers belly, because there the child lieth in peace and quietness. Whence by an usual Metonymy, or figurative taking of the Continent for the thing contained (as the cup for the liquor in the cup, the house for the people in the house ) it is taken for the child that was wrapped in it. In both senses it is applied to Christ, for he was most quiet and peaceable, Isa. 42. 2. & 53. 7. Heb. 12. 3. 1 Pet. 2. 23. He was also a Peace-maker for others, and a Savior to others, Isa. 53. 5. And he is Shiloh, that is, a Son of the linage of Judah, Heb. 7. 14. And as Judah is compared to a Lion in the 9. verse. of this chap. so is he called the lion of the tribe of Judah, Rev. 5. 5. Annot.

It is by interpretation, the prosperer, the safe-maker; or, his Son, (to wit, of a Virgin ) that is, Christ, who was to spring out of Judah. Ainsworth.

    • 2 When the man pulled off his shoo, it was no disgrace, but it was to secure his right; if he sold the Land, it was a token he was willing to part with his right; if he bought, it was a sign of his possession.
    • 3 The disgraceful pulling off was by command, but the other was by custom, Ruth 4. 7.
    • 4 That of disgrace was pulled off from the natural Brother, if he refused to raise up seed; but that of confirmation was pulled off by any who made a contract in token of possession. The Lord alludeth to this, Psal. 60. 8.
    • 5 That of disgrace was given to nobody, but that of contract was given to him who bought the Land.

    • 10 He that refused to raise up seed to his Brother, his house was called domus discalceati in Israel; but there followed no such disgrace to him that pulled off his shoo in contract. Weem's Jud. Law, p. 119. 120.

Sick]

;;One that lacks bodily health, either in whole, or in, part. Luk. 9. 1, 2. His sick servants. Phil. 2. 27. He was sick near to death.

;;2. Sinners which do feel their sins with grief, and desire of a remedy from Christ. Mat. 9. 12. The whole need not the Physician, but the sick. verse. 13. For I am not come to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance.

Sick of love]

;;One taken and held with a vehement and immoderate passion of love, being ready to swoun through strong desire after the thing loved; such is the affection of the Church after Christ, Cant. 2. 5. For I am sick of love.

This speech implieth a want of feeling, and enjoying the presence and comforts of Christ, as by her after speech is manifest, Cant. 5. 8. and that such is the Churches estate sometimes appeareth, Cant. 3. 1, 2. &c. & 5. 6. and as love is one of the strongest affections, Cant. 8. 6, 7. so the sickness that cometh of it doth sore afflict and weaken the person, (as may be seen in that evil example of Amnon, 2 Sam. 13. 1, 2, 4.) This sickness ariseth in the heart, by feeling the wrath of God due to us for sin, and curse of his law, Psal. 90. 8. & 38. 3, 5, 7. Dan. 9. 11. Rom. 7. 24. (whereupon it is said, the Inhabitant shall not say, I am sick; the people that dwell therein, shall be forgiven their iniquity, Isa. 33. 24.) and afflictions laid upon us for our humiliation, Mic. 6. 13. Job 7. 18. & 30. 15, 1. & 10. 6. Lam. 3. 17s 18. Amos 6. 6. in which Christ sometimes hideth himself from us, Job 13. 24. Psal. 77. 6, 7, 8. & 80. 3, 7, 19. The Church feeling and acknowledging herself sick, and seeking for the Physician, is in the way to health: for they that are whole need not a Physician, but they that are sick, Mat. 9. 12. And such as feel not their death in sin, will not come unto Christ that they may have life, Joh. 5. 40. who healeth all our 〈◊〉 , Psal. 103. 3. as he himself was a man of sorrows and 〈◊〉 with sickness, Isa. 53. 3. Ainsworth.

This is amor vulnerans and ligans and 〈◊〉 , by the sweet vehemency and insatiability of it, makes the heart to burn and weep, and groan and sigh; to forget all, and drive all away but him on whom she alone fixeth, and would rest, but cannot rest until she enjoy him in glory. Till then she is sick, and weary, and lives not in herself, but in him, in whom her life is hid. Annot.

The Church is here faint and sick, and ready to swoon for desire of further fellowship with Christ. Cotton.

Sickly]

Weak, infirm, 1 Cor. 11. 30.

Sickness]

is

• 1. Bodily, of man 〈◊〉 , Gen. 48. 1. 2 Sam. 12. 15. Dan. 8. 27. 1 Cor. 11. 33. Or of Women in particular, Lev. 20. 18.
• 2. Mental, Prov. 13. 12.
• 3. Sinful, 2 Sam. 13. 2.
• 4. Spiritual; which is twofold:
• • 1. The earnest and longing desire the Church hath to the enjoying of Christ, Cant. 2. 5. & 5. 8.
  • 2. The infirmities of the soul, which Christ came to heal, Mat. 8. v. 17.

The efficient cause of sickness is God, Psal. 38. 6. Lev. 26. 16. Deut. 28. 27, 35, 59, 60. 61.

The 〈◊〉 cause is sin, Ib.

The 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 cause is,

• 1. Satan, who sometimes is permitted by God, Job 1. 2.
• 2. Intemperance, as dunkennesse, incontinency.

The end is,

• 1. To punish the wicked, 1 Sam. 5. 6, 9.
• 2. To try the patience and constancy of the godly, as in Job, 〈◊〉 .
• 3. To manifest the glory of God, Joh. 6. 2, 3. & 11. 4.

Sickness]

;;Ill disposition of the body. Joh. 11. 4. This sickness is not to death.

;;2. The infirmities of the soul. Mat. 8. 27. He bare our sicknesses.

;;3. Pains and punishments of Christ equivalent and answerable to the sin which we had committed, and to the sickness or miseries which we deserved, and without his sufferings ourselves had suftered. For it must be held, that Christ having no inherent sin of his own, but the imputed of others, he had no manner of bodily disease or hurt, as natural, but only that which was forced on him, as wounds, stripes and death, Mat. 8. 17. See this interpretation 〈◊〉 , Isa. 53. 4, 5, 6. See Infirmity. Or we may say, it 〈◊〉 Christ's care of curing our sickness and sin, by his suffering and satisfying for us.;;

Revel. 14. 14. He had in his 〈◊〉 a sharp sickle. Also in v. 18. it signifies power to cut down the wicked.

But this here is such as did shake to and 〈◊〉 (so sift is in the Hebr.) what was sifted in it, till it came even to nothing; to drive them to nothing, by that whereby he only purgeth his own people, chap. 27. 8, 9. Or, to fifth them in such a sieve as retaineth nothing, but letteth it run thorough, to make an utter riddance of them. The word rendered a sieve, is nowhere else found in Scripture. The word is oft found thus used in the Jewish Doctors, as in that of one of them concerning four sorts of scholars or hearers; some like to a spunge, that sucketh all in alike; some like an hour-glass or water-glass (such as anciently they were) that taketh in at the one end, and putteth out at the other (alluded to Heb. 2. 1.) Some like a wine-bag, that letteth go the wine, and keepeth only the dregs, (he might as well have 〈◊〉 a bolter, that 〈◊〉 out the flour, and keeps in the bran. ) Some to a sieve, that letteth go the trash, and keepeth in the corn. Annot.

Sift]

is spoken of God, in his anger, and it signifieth,

• 1. To scatter. Amos 9. 9.
• 2. To consume, Isa. 30. 28.

To sift as Wheat]

;;By temptations to assault and exagitate, endeavoring by malicious diligence and subtlety to shake faith out of the heart (as wheat out of a sieve) that nothing may remain but the bran of unbelief and wickedness. Luk. 22. 31. 〈◊〉 hath desired to sift (or winnow) you. God doth sift and winnow, to purge and cleanse the heart (as a good Husbandman the Corn,) but Satan doth it to destroy and to tread the Corn underfoot like ravening fowls and vultures. Thus in one act Satan is unjust, and God most just, because they had not one end.

Silvanus]

Of the Wood. A companion of Paul' s, 2 Cor. 1. 19. 1 Thess. 1. 1 Pet. 5. 〈◊〉 .

Silver]

;;A precious metal, whereof money useth to be made.

;;2. The 〈◊〉 and choicest persons in 〈◊〉 Kingdom, as Princes, Rulers, and priests. 〈◊〉 . 1. 22, 23. Thy silver is turned to 〈◊〉 , thy Princes are rebellious.

Silver. A metal well known; it is the measure whereby the worth of anything is esteemed, and the price wherewith it is bought, Gen. 23. 15, 16. Deut. 22. 29. 2 Sam. 24. 24. 2 King. 6. 25. It is put for gain, Judge. 5. 19.

2. For riches, Hos. 9. 6. Isa. 2. 7. Job 27. 16. It was used for the 〈◊〉 , Exod. 35. 5, 24. and the Temple, 1 Chr. 〈◊〉 . 4. It is found in the veins of the earth, Job. 28. 1. The best was brought from Tharsis, Jer. 10. 9. It is purged 〈◊〉 the dross by fire, Psal. 12. 6. & 66. 10. In which respect the Word of God is compared to it, as being free from all imper fection, Ib. and the tongue, i. e. the doctrine of godly men, Prov. 10. 20. & 8. 19.

Pieces of silver, Josh. 14. 32. or 〈◊〉 , marg.

Thousand pieces of silver]

;;The hire and wages paid unto the faithful keepers of the Vine, to wit sound Teachers, for their painful labor in well husbanding the Vine of the Church, Cant. 8. 11. Everyone bringing for the 〈◊〉 thereof a thousand pieces of silver. Or, a thousand 〈◊〉 , meaning silver Shekels; signifying hereby the fertility of this Vineyard, that afforded so much to the owner, besides the laborers reward; so in Isa. 7. 23. threatening to make the most fruitful place desolate, he saith, 〈◊〉 there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, (or silver shekels) it shall be for 〈◊〉 and thorns. Ainsworth.

By a thousand we may understand any large measure or number indefinitely, 2 Sam. 18. 2. Rev. 20. 4. And it teacheth that the first and chief care should be to please our great Prince, which bringeth forth much fruit, Mat. 21. 33, 34. we should abound in works of faith and holiness, and as he blesseth our flocks and substance, so that they bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets, Psal. 144. 13. so should our fruitful hearts increase with the increases of God, bringing forth Grapes, in his Vineyard, not wild Grapes, 〈◊〉 he lay us 〈◊〉 , and cut us down, Isa. 5. 5, 6, 7. Mat. 21. 42. &c. Annot. on verse. 12. Though Christ hath let out his vineyard unto keepers (Pastors and Teachers) who painfully work therein, faithfully take care thereof, yet, in comparison of Christ, what himself doth for it, it's but as two hundred to a thousand, nothing in comparison; as the women, of Saul and David; Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands, 1 Sam. 18. 7. so the chief praise is to be ascribed unto Christ, Tittleman. It is not only the rule of charity, but true Christianity to consider in reasonable sort of those that travail for us, that they labor not, nor sweat for nothing: but taking part of that gain, that cometh by their service, it may give them cause 〈◊〉 bless us. Finch. How unthankful soever some (who would be thought to belong to this Vineyard) prove to the keepers thereof, (the faithful Ministers of Christ) yet 〈◊〉 in the works of the Lord, they know that their labor is not vain in the Lord, 1 Cor. 15. 58.

Not 〈◊〉 regard silver]

;;Neither to crave it of the Babylonians, nor to receive it, being offered by them as a ransom for their life, but to kill all they meet with. Isa. 13. 17. They shall not regard silver, &c.

Siver cord]

By the silver cord, Eccl. 12. 6. some understand the marrow or pith of the back, continued from the brain, as it were in a cord or string unto the bottom of the back bones, and for the white color of it compared to silver. It may also be applied unto all the other 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 of the body, which from the head as the fountain, convey sense and motion upon the other parts. Hereby also may not 〈◊〉 be understood, the chain and sweet harmony of the elements and humors in the body, which being preserved in its due proportion, the body doth receive life from the foul, which is the spring thereof, but being once dissolved, life presently faileth. Annot.

Silver]

Joyned with chains, Isa. 40. 19. Cord, Eccl. 12. 6. Cup, Gen. 24. 2. 〈◊〉 , Prov. 26. 23. Pieces, Mar. 27. 6. Shrines, Act. 19. 24.

Silverlings]

Isa. 7. 23. A thousand Silverlings. Heb. A thousand 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 ; that is, so many shekels, for that is usually understood where the coin or weight is not expressed, as 2 Sam. 18. 11, 12. Mat. 26. 15.

Put for the glory of God manifested to Moses, Numb. 12. 8. called God's back-parts, Exod. 33. 23. A visible representing of God, utterly forbidden to 〈◊〉 , Deut. 4. 15, 16. Psal. 106. 20.

Similitude]

Heb. 7. 15. After the 〈◊〉 of Melchizedek there 〈◊〉 another Priest. Wherein consisteth this similitude? It must needs be in this, and nothing but this, (say the Jesuits ) that, as Melchizedek offered 〈◊〉 & Wine, as a sacrifice of praise to God after Abraham's victory: So our Savior Christ offered his body and blood under the shape of Bread and Wine in the Supper. But cannot Christ be a 〈◊〉 after the similitude of 〈◊〉 , unless it be in this? Surely then he is not a Priest at all after the similitude of Melchizedek, for Melchizedek offered no Bread and Wine. The Hebrew is Hotziah, 〈◊〉 , non 〈◊〉 , (Gen. 14. 18.) as their own Vulgar Interpreter doth translate it, and the 〈◊〉 expounds it 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , that is a confirmation of Melchizedek’s Kingdom, not of his Priesthood: as a King, of his Prince-like liberality be brought forth out of his storehouse plenty of Bread and Wine to refresh Abraham and his 〈◊〉 after the battle. But in sundry other 〈◊〉 , he is a Priest after the similitude of Melchizedek.

• 1. As Melchizedek, being a Priest of the most high God, blessed Abraham, and prayed to God for him: so Christ blesseth and prayeth for his Church, verse. 25.
• 2. As Melchisedeo is said to live forever, because there is no mention of his death in the Scripture; so Christ liveth forever, and of his Priesthood there is no end.
• 3. As Melchizedek was a Priest, yet not made after the manner of other Priests, but had an extraordinary calling from God: so Christ is made a Priest, not after the manner of the Levitical Priesthood, but after a more excellent sort, as Meichisedec was.
• 4. As Melchizedek was a King and a Priest too, so was our Savior Christ. Jones.
