Numbers
16.1 Korah, Dathan and Abiram
16.3 Many people behave like this: under criticism, they justify themselves against their leaders.
16.14 What a rebellion against Moses’ leadership!
16.30 Spot-on prophecy!
16.35 “Fire came out from the Lord”? From the Tabernacle?
16.41 Goodness me: that’s a bit brave, isn’t it?
16.49 How many?
Psalms
Psalm 52
52.1 Again, a helpful historical note.
Psalm 53
53.1 Classic text! Except for minor changes, almost identical to Psalm 14.
Psalm 54
Isaiah
6.1 Isaiah’s Commission
6.7 How appropriate for a prophet that the coal cleansed his lips.
6.8 It would be lovely if this indicated the Trinity in the Godhead, but it’s more likely it is plural for emphasis, similar to the Royal “we” in English.
6.10 Curiously, the Prophet’s task is to close down understanding: he has done God’s will if he is rejected.
6.13 There is always hope: in this case, a prophecy of Messiah.
Hebrews
13.1 Concluding Exhortations
13.2 Presumably a reference to Abraham?
13.5 OK, Hebrews has a different style to Paul, but phrases like this echoes 1 Timothy 6.8 and 10. Verses 22-25 also sound Pauline.
13.24 Unusual to refer to
