Shadow]
In the shadow of death, Luk. 1. 79. As the valley of the shadow of death, Psal. 23. 4. signifies, a gloomy vale of danger, of the utmost evil (there being lesse warmth or light (as being shaded by the hills) and more subject to the incursion of wolves, then hills) so proportionably here (in a spiritual sense) the shadow of death is a state of sin and ignorance, want of light or knowledge, and want of warmth or grace; the description of the state under the Law, which affordeth neither of these in any proportion to what is now done by Christ, and so left men in a dangerous condition, till Christ was thus pleased to shine upon them, and thereby to rescue them out of it. Dr. Ham. Annot. s.
Shadow]

Shadow]
Heb. 10. 1. The Law having a shadow of good things to come. Some are of opinion that here St. Paul alludes to the custom of Painters, who first make a rude draught, and then out of it a perfect and lively picture. These make the sense this, viz. That the Old Covenant did contain only dark resemblances and Types of heavenly things, no lively representations of them; this being reserved unto the time of the Gospel, wherein Christ and all spiritual blessings in him are clearly and plainly manisested. Others are of opinion that St. Paul alludes unto the shadow of a body, and these make this the sense of the words, viz. That the Old Covenant had only Types, wherein Christ and heavenly things through him, were darkly represented, not the substance and truth of the things themselves. This is the more probable opinion, see Col. 2. 17. Annot.
Ye cannot perceive in a shadow the distinct parts and members of a body, the eyes, the face, hands, &c. Only the shadow tells you there is a body; but an Image hath the whole lineaments and proportion of the body in it. In it … may behold the several parts and dimensions of the body; so in the Law, they had a sight of Christ, yet it was darkly in a shadow; we have the very express form and Image of Christ with all his benefits. Jones.
It was not so much as an Image, a shadow is not so much as an Image, but the Image is not so much as the thing it self. It was not an Image, but a shadow. Leighs Ann.
A shadow from hear]
;;Gods protection of his people from violence and cruelty of their enemies, to be comfortable as a shadow is in time of drought and heat, Isa. 25. 4.
The shadow of my roof]
;;Mine house, therein to take his rest safely. Gen. 19. 8. Seeing they are come under the shadow of my roof.
Shadowing with wings]
Isa. 18. 1. Or, Shadowy on the borders: That is, which is full of shadows on the frontiers, or borders, or limits, or bounds; and that by reason of the multitude of high mountains that lay there, and made those shadows. Some understand here, by the shadowy wings, the great number of Sails of Ships, that did cast a shadow. Then the meaning is this, Wo to the Land where all those Ships are. Others conceive that by the shadow of the wings here is signified, that the Ethiopians and Egyptians (as neighbours and confederates) were wont to take other Nations and people under their protection. See Isa. 30. 2, 3. &c. D. Transl. & Annot.
And the shadows flee away]
Cant. 2. 17. & Cant. 4. 6. Untill all these shadows of ignorance, of infidelity, of troubles of conscience, and-of outward tribulations be utterly dispersed and chased away. Hall.
Or decline, or be removed and vanish away; that is, till full and perfect day: for the higher the Sun riseth, shadows lessen, untill at noon there be almost none at all. And so then will all shadows vanish, as the shadows of the Law fled at his first coming, Col. 2. 17. They may darken the Church for a time, but when the day of the Lord shall appear, there shall not be so much as a mention of them, Jer. 3. 16. Annot.

This was fulfilled in those Prodigies and signs which appeared upon the Earth, and in the Heavens, before, and at our Saviours coming in the flesh, to proclaim and confirm the Gospel. Some understand it of Christs second coming, that is, of judgement, whereof St. Peter speaks, 2 Pet. 4. 10. but it is plain that the Prophet speaks of shaking the Earth and the Heavens, which should be while the second Temple stood; for it is said, that the desire of all Nations, that is, the Messias, should come, and fill the second Temple with glory. See Hag. 2. 7, 8. Annot.

It was divided in parts, as the half shekel, which every one in Israel paid to the Lord when they went up to Jerusalem; because 1. All held their life equally from God.
2. Because all were redeemed alike by Christ.
3. Because the Lord accepteth of us half-pay for the whole; and though our service be very imperfect, yet the Lord giveth us the whole Shekel, Mat. 20.

;;2. To give, to impart, to communicate, to doe; as, I will shew him how great things he shall suffer, Act. 9. 16. This was by offering occasions of trouble, and giving patience. Ascend, or come up hither, and we will shew you a thing; that is, we will do a thing. 1 Sam. 4.. 12. I will shew (that is, give) thee all my good. Exod. 33. 19. Who will shew (communicate or impart) any good unto us? Psal. 4. 6. Thou hast shewed (that is, done) unto thy people hard things. Psal. 59. 5. & 70. 20. & Joh. 5. 20. And sheweth him all things: not by teaching him as an ignorant one, (for he is the wisdom of the Father, who made all by him) but by communicating to the Son (as essence and nature, so) power and faculty to work divine works.

5. To foretell, Rev. 1. 1. & 4. 1. Gen. 41. 25. Judg. 13. 23.
6. To make, Tit. 2. 7.
Shew]
A vain shew, Psal. 39. 6. Hebr. image, marg.
Shew of their countenance, Isa. 3. 9. or tryal, as some: for it comes from a word that signifies to acknowledge, Prov. 20. 11. or strangenesse as others, because the same word sometime signifieth to estrange, 1 King. 14. 5, 6. Or, as others, hardnesse, from a word that signifies to harden, Job 19. 3. and the word in Arabick is said to be so used. Nor is it unusual in the Latine tongue, to say, one of an hard face, for an impudent man. However, the sense is certainly this, that their very looks alone were evidence enough, without further proof to convince them, how they stood inwardly affected; the disposition of their heart therein, as evidently offering it self to view, as if it were even enstamped on their faces, or engraven on their foreheads; and that their extream impudency is implyed, the sequel shews. See Jer. 3. 3. An harlots forehead. Annot.
And for a shew make long prayers, Luk. 20. 47. The word foreign for the most part is used of a false or faigned cause, yet specious, and having the shew of truth, when one pretends something as a cause, when in the mean time he hideth the true cause, as here. Leigh. Cr. Sac.
To make a fair shew, Gal. 6. 12. Gr. good face, or fair countenance. A fair shew against the truth, in keeping carnal Rites and Ceremonies; they urge Circumcision upon you, not out of any affection and zeal that they bear to the Law; but only for this purpose, that they may purchase themselves favour among those of their own sort, and escape the malice and persecution of the Jews. Annot.
He made a shew of them openly, Col. 2. 15. Bringing them to open shame. Annot.
Shew-bread]
was twelve loaves set upon a Table of Shittim wood, Exod. 25. 23, 30. It was continually set before the Lord. They were made of fine flowre; they represented the twelve Tribes of Israel: They stood always before the Lord, called therefore panis facierum, or propositionis, to signifie that the Church is always the object of the eye of God; they were renewed every Sabbath, Lev. 24. 8. to signifie the renewing of the graces of God to his Church. None might eat of it but the Priests, who served in their course that week, and their Sons, Lev. 24. 9. So long as they did eat of it, they were not to company with their Wives, Exod. 19. 14. This abstinence 1 Sam. 21. is called a clean way; therefore when David in necessity came to eat of it, the Priests told him, that he might not eat of it, if the mens Vessels were not sanctifyed; which is nothing else but if they had companyed with their Wives; and by vessels is meant the body, so called 1 Thess. 4. 4. That this is the meaning, is clear by David's answer, that they had abstained from women these three days, 1 Sam. 21. 6, 7.
Shew-bread]

;;3. Divine defence and protection. Psal. 18. 2. The Lord is my shield. An heavenly shield.
;;4. Magistrates, being instruments of safety and defence to good men. Psal. 47. 9. The shields of the world belong to God. An earthly shield.
Shields]
See Bucklers.
Shiggaion]
Psal. 7. the Title. This word cometh from another Hebrew word signifying to stray or wander, whereby some do conjecture, that this was a various Song, skipping from one kinde of tune into another: and used in great anguishes of heart, when as the thoughts and stirrings of the heart, through greatness of trouble, do vary and fall from one strain unto another in a straying and scattering manner. D. Annot.
Some would have it an Instrument of Musick; others, a certain tune; or beginning of a Song, or certain kinde of Verse. Annot.
An artificial Song of David, or Davids delight. The word properly signifieth aberration, or, ignoration, and is here and in Hab. 3. 1. only used in the title of Songs, which seem to be made of sundry variable and wandring Verses, which being composed by art, cause the more delight. The Hebrew word Shagah whereof this is derived, is used for delight, or wandring in pleasure, Prov. 5. 19, 20. according to which we may name this Song, Davids delight, or Solace: Or, in the other signification, Davids Errour; as setting forth, the sum of his cares, which made him almost to go astray. The Chaldee expoundeth it, Davids Interpretation of the Law. Aynsworth.

;;Shiloh. The prosperer, the safe-maker, Gen. 49. 10. The Hebrew hath an unusual manner of writing, implying his Son, and her Son, as a Prophesie that Christ should be the Son of Mary the Virgin, of the linage of Judah. It is in Hebr. the secundine, or after-birth, to signifie, that Christ did take our infirmities, and brought us peace, and prosperity, even salvation.
Shiloh]
Untill Shiloh come, Gen. 49. 10. The word is derived from Shalah, which signifieth to cease, and be quiet, and peaceable; and the same is taken not only in a passive sense to be so, but in an active to make so; and so it is put for a prosperous or safe-maker or Saviour, the Author of quietness and safety to others. It is taken also for the tunicle or skin in which the childe is wrapped in the Mothers belly, because there the childe lieth in peace and quietness. Whence by an usual Metonymie, or figurative taking of the Continent for the thing contained (as the cup for the liquor in the cup, the house for the people in the house) it is taken for the childe that was wrapped in it. In both senses it is applyed to Christ, for he was most quiet and peaceable, Isa. 42. 2. & 53. 7. Heb. 12. 3. 1 Pet. 2. 23. He was also a Peace-maker for others, and a Saviour to others, Isa. 53. 5. And he is Shiloh, that is, a Son of the linage of Judah, Heb. 7. 14. And as Judah is compared to a Lion in the 9. vers. of this chap. so is he called the lion of the tribe of Judah, Rev. 5. 5. Annot.
It is by interpretation, the prosperer, the safe-maker; or, his Son, (to wit, of a Virgin) that is, Christ, who was to spring out of Judah. Aynsw.

Pull off he Shoos. Deut. 25 9. This was twofold:
1. Religious, as Exod. 3. 5. Josh. 5. 13.
2. Civil, which was twofold:
The first served for the solemnity of their contracts.
The second was for a punishment and disgrace, Deut. 25. 9. and it differed from the other for confirmation.
1 In disgrace the woman her self pulled off the shoo of him that refused to raise up seed to his Brother; but in the other, the man loosed his own shoo, and pul'd it off.
2 When the man pull'd off his shoo, it was no disgrace, but it was to secure his right; if he sold the Land, it was a token he was willing to part with his right; if he bought, it was a sign of his possession.
3 The disgracefull pulling off was by command, but the other was by custome, Ruth 4. 7.
4 That of disgrace was pulled off from the naturall Brother, if he refused to raise up seed; but that of confirmation was pulled off by any who made a contract in token of possession. The Lord alludeth to this, Psal. 60. 8.
5 That of disgrace was given to no body, but that of contract was given to him who bought the Land.
6 The former was pulled off against his will; but in contract they desired him that sold the Land to pull it off, and he did it willingly.
7 The first was pulled off before the Judge, but the latter before any sufficient witnesse.
8 When they pulled off the shoo in disgrace, they spit in his face; but in the latter no such disgrace was offered.
9 In the former, when the woman pulled off the shoo, she used these words, So shall it be done to the man who resuseth to build his Brothers house, Deut. 25. 9. But no such words were used in the latter.
10 He that refused to raise up seed to his Brother, his house was called domus discalceati in Israel; but there followed no such disgrace to him that pulled off his shoo in contract. Weem's Jud. Law, p. 119. 120.
