{Genesis 9:27} God 430 shall enlarge 6601 z8686 Japheth, 3315 and he shall dwell 7931 z8799 in the tents 168 of Shem; 8035 and Canaan 3667 shall be x1961 his servant. 5650
enlarge:
or, persuade
Japheth:
Japheth denotes enlargement, and how wonderfully have his boundaries been enlarged; for not only Europe, but Asia Minor, part of Armenia, Iberia, the whole of the vast regions of Asia north of Taurus, and probably America, fell to the share of his posterity.
he shall dwell:
These words may mean either that God or that Japheth shall dwell in the tents of Shem. In either sense the prophecy has been literally fulfilled.
dwell:
"And in that¹ dayª there shall be¹ a rootª of Jesse,ª which¹ shall standª° for an ensignª of the people;ª to¹ it shall the Gentilesª seek:ª° and his restª shall be¹ glorious.ª" {Isa 11:10} + "Therefore,¹ behold,¹ I¹ will allureª° her, and bring²°¹ her into the wilderness,ª and speakª° comfortablyª¹ unto her." {Hsa 2:14} + "For¹ from the risingª¹ of the sunª even unto¹ the going downª of the same my nameª [shall be] greatª among the Gentiles;ª and in every¹ placeª incenseª° [shall be] offeredª° unto my name,ª and a pureª offering:ª for¹ my nameª [shall be] greatª among the heathen,ª saithª° the LORDª of hosts.ª" {Mal 1:11} + "Andª thenª immediatelyª the¹ brethrenª sent awayª° Paulª to goª° as it wereª toª the¹ sea:ª butªª Silasª andª Timotheusª abodeª° thereª still.²°" {Act 17:14} + "Nowª ifª the¹ fallª of them²¹ [be] the richesª of the world,ª andª the¹ diminishingª of them²¹ the richesª of the Gentiles;ª how² much¹ moreª their²¹ fulness?ª" {Rom 11:12} + "Andª again,ª Esaiasª saith,ª° There shall beª° a rootª of Jesse,ª andª he that shall riseª° to reign overª° the Gentiles;ª inª himª shall²° the Gentilesª trust.ª°" {Rom 15:12} + "Butª nowª inª Christª Jesusª yeª who² sometimes² wereª°¹ far offª are madeª° nighª byª the¹ bloodª of Christ.ª ...
