- blot me:
- Allusion may be made to the registry of births, in which those born of a particular tribe were entered in the list of their respective families under that tribe. This was the book of life; and when any died, his name might be considered as blotted out of this list. But as Moses addressed the Lord, he undoubtedly referred, by faith, to the book of God's remembrance. "Now¹ therefore let me alone,²°¹ that my wrathª may wax hotª° against them, and that I may consumeª° them: and I will makeª° of thee a greatª nation.ª" {Exd 32:10} + "Let me alone,ª°¹ that I may destroyª° them, and blot outª°¹ their nameª from under¹¹ heaven:ª and I will makeª° of² thee a nationª mightierª and greaterª than¹ they." {Deu 9:14} + "Therefore it shall be,¹ when the LORDª thy Godª hath given thee restª° from all¹¹ thine enemiesª° round about,ª¹ in the landª which¹ the LORDª thy Godª givethª° thee [for] an inheritanceª to possessª° it, [that] thou shalt blot outª°¹ the remembranceª of Amalekª from under¹¹ heaven;ª thou shalt not¹ forgetª° [it]." {Deu 25:19} + "The LORDª willª° not¹ spareª° him, but¹ then¹ the angerª of the LORDª and his jealousyª shall smokeª° against that¹ man,ª and all¹ the cursesª that are writtenª° in this¹ bookª shall lieª° upon him, and the LORDª shall blot outª°¹ his nameª from under¹¹ heaven.ª" {Deu 29:20} + "Thou tellestª° my wanderings:ª putª° thou¹ my tearsª into thy bottle:ª [are they] not¹ in thy book?ª" {Psa 56:8} + "Let them be blottedª° out of the bookª¹ of the living,ª and not¹ be writtenª° with¹ the righteous.ª" {Psa 69:28} + "Thine eyesª did seeª° my substance, yet being unperfect;ª and in¹ thy bookª all¹ [my members] were written,ª° [which] in continuanceª were fashioned,ª° when [as yet there was] noneª¹ of them." {Psa 139:16} + "And mine handª shall be¹ upon¹ the prophetsª that see²¹ vanity,ª and that divineª° lies:ª they shall not¹ be¹ in the assemblyª of my people,ª neither¹ shall they be writtenª° in the writingª of the houseª of Israel,ª neither¹ shall they enterª° into¹ the landª of Israel;ª and ye shall knowª° that¹ I¹ [am] the Lordª GOD.ª" {Ezk 13:9} + "And at that¹ timeª shall Michaelª stand up,ª° the greatª princeª which standethª° for¹ the childrenª of thy people:ª and there shall beª° a timeª of trouble,ª such as¹ never¹ was¹ since there was¹¹ a nationª [even] to¹ that same¹ time:ª and at that¹ timeª thy peopleª shall be delivered,ª° every one¹ that shall be foundª° writtenª° in the book.ª" {Dan 12:1} + "Forª Iª could wishª° that myself²¹ wereª° accursedª fromª Christª forª myª brethren,ª myª kinsmenª accordingª to the flesh:ª" {Rom 9:3} + "Andª I intreatª° theeª also,ª trueª yokefellow,ª helpª° those womenª whichª laboured²° with¹ meª inª the¹ gospel,ª withª Clementª also,ª andª [with] otherª myª fellowlabourers,ª whoseª namesª [are] inª the bookª of life.ª" {Php 4:3} + "He that overcometh,ª° the sameª shall be clothedª° inª whiteª raiment;ª andª I will²° notª blot outª° his²¹ nameª out¹ of² the¹ bookª of life,ª butª I will confessª° his²¹ nameª beforeª myª Father,ª andª beforeª his²¹ angels.ª" {Rev 3:5} + "The¹ beastª thatª thou sawestª° was,ª° andª isª° not;ª andª shallª° ascendª° out ofª the¹ bottomless pit,ª andª goª° intoª perdition:ª andª they that dwellª° onª the¹ earthª shall wonder,ª° whoseª namesª were²° notª writtenª° inª the¹ bookª of lifeª fromª the foundationª of the world,ª when they beholdª° the¹ beastª that¹ was,ª²° andª isª° not,ª and yetª is.ª°" {Rev 17:8} + "Andª there shall²° in no wiseª enterª° intoª itª any thingª that defileth,ª° neitherª [whatsoever] workethª° abomination,ª orª [maketh] a lie:ª but² they which are writtenª° inª the¹ Lamb'sª bookª of life.ª" {Rev 21:27} + "Andª ifª any manª shall take awayª° fromª the¹ wordsª of the bookª of this²¹ prophecy,ª Godª shall take awayª° hisª partª out ofª the bookª of life,ª andª out ofª the¹ holyª city,ª andª [from] the things which are writtenª° inª this²¹ book.ª" {Rev 22:19}
