26, 27. and hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth —Holding with the Old Testament teaching, that in the blood is the life ( Genesis 9:4 ; Leviticus 17:11 ; Deuteronomy 12:23 ), the apostle sees this life stream of the whole human race to be one, flowing from one source [BAUMGARTEN]. and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation —The apostle here opposes both Stoical Fate and Epicurean Chance, ascribing the periods and localities in which men and nations flourish to the sovereign will and prearrangements of a living God. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-27" class="com-number"
