- Cast out:
- The word rendered "cast out," signifies also to divorce. See note on "They shall not¹ takeª° a wifeª [that is] a whore,ª° or profane;ª neither¹ shall they takeª° a womanª put awayª° from her husband:ª¹ for¹ he¹ [is] holyª unto his God.ª" {Lev 21:7}. In this latter sense, it may be understood here. "But unto the sonsª of the concubines,ª which¹ Abrahamª had, Abrahamª gaveª° gifts,ª and sent them awayª° from¹¹ Isaacª his son,ª while he yet¹ lived,ª eastward,ª unto¹ the eastª country.ª" {Gen 25:6} + "And these¹ [are] the generationsª of Isaac,ª Abraham'sª son:ª Abrahamª begatª°¹ Isaac:ª" {Gen 25:19} + "And Godª said,ª° Sarahª thy wifeª shall bearª° thee a sonª indeed;ª and thou shalt callª°¹ his nameª Isaac:ª and I will establishª°¹ my covenantª with¹ him for an everlastingª covenant,ª [and] with his seedª after¹ him.²" {Gen 17:19} + "But my covenantª will I establishª° with¹ Isaac,ª which¹ Sarahª shall bearª° unto thee at this¹ set timeª in the nextª year.ª" {Gen 17:21} + "And Abrahamª said,ª° Because¹ I thought,ª° Surelyª the fearª of Godª [is] not¹ in this¹ place;ª and they will slay¹ me²° for¹ my wife'sª sake.ª" {Gen 20:11} + "And Abrahamª stretched forthª°¹ his hand,ª and tookª°¹ the knifeª to slayª°¹ his son.ª" {Gen 22:10} + "And Esauª tookª°¹ his wives,ª and his sons,ª and his daughters,ª and all¹ the personsª of his house,ª and his cattle,ª and all¹ his beasts,ª and all¹ his substance,ª which¹ he had gotª° in the landª of Canaan;ª and went²°¹ into¹ the countryª from the faceª¹ of his brotherª Jacob.ª ... For¹ their richesª were¹ more² than¹ that they might dwellª°¹ together;ª and the landª wherein they were strangersª couldª° not¹ bearª° them becauseª¹ of their cattle.ª" {Gen 36:6-7} + "Andª I sayª° unto you,ª Thatª manyª shall comeª° fromª the eastª andª west,ª andª shall sit downª° withª Abraham,ª andª Isaac,ª andª Jacob,ª inª the¹ kingdomª of heaven.ª ... Butª the¹ childrenª of the¹ kingdomª shall be cast outª° intoª outerª darkness:ª thereª shall beª° weepingª andª gnashingª of teeth.ª" {Mtt 8:11-12} + "Thenª saidª° the¹ kingª to the¹ servants,ª Bindª° himª handª andª foot,ª and take²° him² away,ª°¹ andª castª° [him] intoª outerª darkness;ª thereª shall beª° weepingª andª gnashingª of teeth.ª" {Mtt 22:13} + "Andª the¹ servantª abidethª° notª inª the¹ houseª for² ever:ª¹ [but] the¹ Sonª abidethª°² ever.ª¹" {Jhn 8:35} + "Forª it is written,ª° thatª Abrahamª hadª° twoª sons,ª the oneª byª a bondmaid,ª² the¹ otherª byª a freewoman.ª ... So then,ª brethren,ª we areª° notª childrenª of the bondwoman,ª butª of the¹ free.ª" {Gal 4:22-31} + "They went outª° fromª us,ª butª they wereª° notª ofª us;ª forª ifª they had beenª° ofª us,ª they would² [no doubt] have continuedª°¹ withª us:ª butª [they went out], thatª they might be made manifestª° thatª they wereª° notª allª ofª us.ª" {1Jn 2:19}
