Hebrews 11:28 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 11:28

26 esteeming ^athe reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures² in Egypt; for he looked to the ^breward.

27 By faith ^ahe forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.

28 By faith ^ahe kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

29 By faith ^athey passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.

By Faith They Overcame

30 By faith ^athe walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days.

31 By faith ^athe harlot Rahab did not perish with those who¹ did not believe, when ^bshe had received the spies with peace.

32 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of ^aGideon and ^bBarak and ^cSamson and ^dJephthah, also of ^eDavid and ^fSamuel and the prophets:

33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, ^astopped the mouths of lions,

34 ^aquenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

35 ^aWomen received their dead raised to life again. Others were ^btortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

36 Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and ^aof chains and imprisonment.

37 ^aThey were stoned, they were sawn in two,¹ were tempted, were slain with the sword. ^bThey wandered about ^cin sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented—

38 of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, ^ain dens and caves of the earth.

39 And all these, ^ahaving obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise,

40 God having provided something better for us, that they should not be ^amade perfect apart from us.
