Hebrews 11:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 11:9

7 By faith ^aNoah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, ^bprepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of ^cthe righteousness which is according to faith.

Faithful Abraham

8 By faith ^aAbraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, ^adwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, ^bthe heirs with him of the same promise;

10 for he waited for ^athe city which has foundations, ^bwhose builder and maker is God.

11 By faith ^aSarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and ^bshe bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him ^cfaithful who had promised.

12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as ^adead, were born as many as the ^bstars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

The Heavenly Hope

13 These all died in faith, ^anot having received the ^bpromises, but ^chaving seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and ^dconfessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

14 For those who say such things ^adeclare plainly that they seek a homeland.

15 And truly if they had called to mind ^athat country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return.
