Hebrews 11:35
Compare all
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.

Hebrews 11:35

By a resurrection (ec anastasewv). Cf. I Kings 17:17 ff.; 2Ki. 4:8-37.

Were tortured (etumpanisqhsan). First aorist passive indicative of tumpanizw, late verb from tumpanon (kettledrum, drumstick), to beat the drum, to beat to death (cf. II Macc. 7 about Eleazar and the Mother and the seven sons), once in LXX (I Samuel 21:13).

Not accepting their deliverance (ou prosdecamenoi thn apolutrwsin). Offered at the price of disloyalty as in II Macc. 6:21-27.

That they might obtain a better resurrection (ina kreittonov anastasewv tuxwsin). Purpose clause with ina and the second aorist active subjunctive of tugxanw to obtain with the genitive case. A "better resurrection" than the temporary ones alluded to in this verse by the women.
