- Genesis 12:1–9
Then the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s household, and go to the land I will show you.
Commentary on Genesis 12:1–91 voice
Abraham represents the mind. In fact Abraham signifies passage. Therefore, in order that the mind, which in Adam had allowed itself to run to pleasure and to bodily attractions, should turn toward the ideal form of virtue, a wise man has been proposed to us as an example to imitate. Actually Abraham in Hebrew signifies "father," in the sense that the mind, with the authority, the judgment and the solicitude of a father, governs the entire person. This mind then was in Haran, that is, in caverns, subject to the different passions.
Ambrose of Milan· ON ABRAHAM 2.1-2, 397Patristic
- Genesis 22:1–14
Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.
Commentary on Genesis 22:1–142 voices
Give your attention, you who have approached God—who believe yourselves to be faithful. Consider diligently how the faith of the faithful is proved from these words that have been read to us. "And it came to pass," the text says, "after these words, God tested Abraham and said to him: 'Abraham, Abraham.' And he said, 'Here I am.' " Observe each detail that has been written. For, if one knows how to dig into the depth, he will find a treasure in the details, and perhaps also the precious jewels of the mysteries lie hidden where they are not esteemed.

- Leviticus 26:6–8
And I will give peace to the land, and you will lie down with nothing to fear. I will rid the land of dangerous animals, and no sword will pass through your land.
Commentary on Leviticus 26:6–81 voice
Then follow the words "and I will establish peace in your lands." What peace does God give? The peace which the world possesses? Christ says he does not give that kind of peace, for he declares, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give …

Commentary on Joshua 1:1–91 voice
Having finally finished with the Pentateuch of Moses, as though freed for a great advantage, we set (our) hand to Jesus son of Nave, who the Hebrews call Joshua ben Nun, that is, Joshua son of Nun, and to the book of Judges, which they call Sopthim, to Ruth also and Esther, which they extol by the same names. And I admonish the reader, that he, being careful with Scripture, might preserve the forest of Hebrew names and (their) separations divided into parts, so that our work and his effort might not be wasted.
Jerome· Prologue to Joshua, 420Patristic
- Joshua 15:16
And Caleb said, “To the man who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage.”
Commentary on Joshua 15:161 voice
But now Caleb went up against that City of Letters and said, "I shall give Achsah my daughter for a wife to whoever demolishes the City of Letters and gains possession of it. And Othniel the son of Kenaz seized it." Moreover, Othniel, who received the City of Letters, is interpreted "the reply of God." But "the reply of God" can be said "he to whom God replies," that is, he to whom God reveals secrets and discloses hidden things.
Origen of Alexandria· HOMILIES ON JOSHUA 20.6, 253Patristic
- Joshua 15:17
So Othniel son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.
Commentary on Joshua 15:172 voices
But now Caleb went up against that City of Letters and said, "I shall give Achsah my daughter for a wife to whoever demolishes the City of Letters and gains possession of it. And Othniel the son of Kenaz seized it." Moreover, Othniel, who received the City of Letters, is interpreted "the reply of God." But "the reply of God" can be said "he to whom God replies," that is, he to whom God reveals secrets and discloses hidden things.
Origen of Alexandria· HOMILIES ON JOSHUA 20.6, 253Patristic
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it,.... The relation of Othniel to Caleb is a little intricate, and, as it is understood, occasions objections to the marriage of Caleb's daughter to him; it seems, at first sight, that he was Caleb's own brother, a younger brother, and so uncle to his daughter, and such marriages were forbidden, Lev 18:

- Judges 4:1
After Ehud died, the Israelites again did evil in the sight of the LORD.

When Ehud was dead - Why not when Shamgar was dead? Does this not intimate that Shamgar was not reckoned in the number of the judges?

- Judges 4:18–22
Jael went out to greet Sisera and said to him, “Come in, my lord. Come in with me. Do not be afraid.” So he entered her tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
Commentary on Judges 4:18–222 voices
And Jael went out to meet Sisera,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Jael went out to meet Sisera - He preferred the womans tent because of secrecy; for, according to the etiquette of the eastern countries, no person ever intrudes into the apartments of the women. And in every dwelling the women have a separate apartment.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Judges 6:25–31
On that very night the LORD said to Gideon, “Take your father’s young bull and a second bull seven years old, tear down your father’s altar to Baal, and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.
Commentary on Judges 6:25–311 voice
Then the man, instructed and fore-knowing what was to be, observes the heavenly mysteries, and therefore, according to the warning, slew the bullock destined by his father to idols, and himself offered to God another bullock seven years old. By doing which he most plainly showed that after the coming of the Lord all Gentile sacrifices should be done away, and that only the sacrifice of the Lord's passion should be offered for the redemption of the people.
Ambrose of Milan· On the Holy Spirit, Book 1, 397Patristic
- Judges 7:7–23
Then the LORD said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men who lapped the water I will save you and deliver the Midianites into your hand. But all the others are to go home.”
Commentary on Judges 7:7–232 voices
Just as the six hundred years of life which Noah completed prior to entering the ark designate the perfection of faith and confession of those who approach the church's sacraments of heavenly grace and perpetual reward, so also does the three hundred and fifty years …
Bede· Commentary on Genesis 2.9, 735Patristic
And they are brought to the river, to drink the waters; and whoever drank the waters with bended knees, were removed from the struggle of war. For by the waters is designated the doctrine of wisdom, but by the unbended knee righteous conduct. They therefore who are reported to have bent their knees, while drinking the water, retired from the strife of battles, having been forbidden; because Christ proceeds to battle against the enemies of the faith, with those who when they drink the streams of doctrine, distort not the uprightness of their actions.
