So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof. (Judg 12:1-3) And the men of Ephraim [double fruit] gathered themselves together, and went northward [in contrast to being sent by the Lord], and said unto Jephthah [he will open], Wherefore passedst thou over [used very widely of any transition] to fight against the children of Ammon [tribal, i.e. inbred; a son of Lot through incest (symbol of unsaved peoples)], and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with fire. And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife [i.e. Great Tribulation, the sixth seal] with the children of Ammon; and when I called you [to shriek (from anguish or danger)], ye delivered me not [rescued, be safe, bring (having) salvation, save (-iour), get victory] out of their hands. And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me? 1. northward = Heb: hidden, i.e. dark; used only of the north as a quarter (gloomy and unknown):--north (-ern, side, -ward, wind) /// to hide (by covering over); fig. to deny; spec.

(Exo 13:21) And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: 3. (Exo 14:18-20) And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness [(lit.) darkness; fig. misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness] to them, but it gave light [happiness] by night [a twist (away of the light), i.e. night; fig. adversity] to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night. 4. (Joel 2:1) Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all [the whole; hence all, any or every] the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; (Joel 2:2) A day of darkness [(lit.) darkness; fig. misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness] and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, //// as the morning [dawn: day, light] spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations [i.e. to the end of the 1000 year Millennium]. 5. (Mark 6:45-51) And straightway he constrained [to necessitate; compel /// necessary, needful] his disciples to get into the ship [symbolic of the church], and to go to the other side [Palestine, the Promised Land, symbolic of Heaven] before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people [the unbelievers]. And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray. And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. And he saw them toiling [tortured: pain, toil, torment, toss, vex] in rowing [to push (as wind, oars or demonical power)]; for the wind was contrary [opposite, antagonistic: against] unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night [between 3am and 6am, about sunrise] he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea [i.e. being supported by the Holy Spirit], and would have passed by them. But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out: For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered. 6. (John 6:20,21) But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
