Psalms 79:3 - Treasury of Scripture Knowledge - Bible Study & Commentary

Verse 3

Their: Psalms 79:10, Matthew 23:35, Romans 8:36, Revelation 16:6, Revelation 17:6, Revelation 18:24

and there: etc. Either there was no friend or relation left to bury them, or none was allowed to perform this last sad office. The despotism of eastern princes often proceeds to such a degree of extravagance as to fill the mind with astonishment and horror. In Morocco, no person dares to bury the body of a malefactor without an order from the emperor; and Windus, speaking of a man who was to have been sawn in two, informs us, that "his body must have remained to be eaten by the dogs, if the emperor had not pardoned him." Psalms 141:7, Jeremiah 8:1, Jeremiah 8:2, Jeremiah 14:16, Jeremiah 15:3, Jeremiah 16:4, Jeremiah 25:33, Jeremiah 34:20, Revelation 11:9

Reciprocal: Genesis 50:5 - bury me 2 Samuel 14:14 - as water 2 Chronicles 36:17 - who slew Psalms 44:22 - killed Psalms 94:5 - break Jeremiah 7:33 - General Jeremiah 19:7 - and their Ezekiel 16:38 - shed Ezekiel 23:32 - thou shalt be Ezekiel 32:4 - General Zephaniah 1:17 - they shall Revelation 11:8 - their dead

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge was, and still is, a Bible reference work first published around 1830, created by the London publisher Samuel Bagster (1772-1851). It is a set of cross-references. That is, it consists entirely of a book-length listing of cross-references, showing only the chapter and verse citations with no accompanying text. About the size of a complete Bible, the TSK is also organized like a Bible, beginning at Genesis and ending at Revelation. Each verse of the Bible is cross-referenced to several others to enable the reader to gain a true sense of each word and phrase as it is used in the Bible.But the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge is usually described as being the work of R. A. Torrey. Most editions you can buy these days have Torrey's name on the cover, and sometimes in the title: R. A. Torrey's Treasury of Scripture Knowledge. According to commen knowledge, Torrey did not specifically try to claim authorship of the reference book, but he did become one of its chief promoters, and as his own fame rose, his endorsement of the book mattered to more and more people. Inevitably his name ended up on the cover. But if you read his introduction to the book, often printed inside, you see that he describes having first encountered it "some twenty years ago."Originally printed in a 700+ page book and now enhanced with two-way cross-referencing, this entire reference is available to you on StudyLight.org....
