Hebrews 11:12
And that as good as dead (kai tauta nenekrwmenou). Accusative of general reference (tauta), sometimes singular as in I Corinthians 6:8. The perfect passive participle from nekrow, late verb to make dead, to treat as dead (Romans 4:19), here by hyperbole.
By the sea shore (para to xeilov thv qalasshv). "Along the lip of the sea" (from Genesis 22:17), xeilov here alone in this sense in the N.T.
Innumerable (anariqmhtov). Old compound verbal adjective (alpha privative and ariqmew, to number), here alone in N.T.
