Hebreos 11:20-29 RVA

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 11:27

By faith he forsook Egypt ,.... Either when he fled to Midian; this was before the eating of the passover, and so it stands in its proper order; whereas, his going out of Egypt with the children of Israel was after it, and mentioned in Hebrews 11:29 . The word "forsook" implies fleeing; and then it was when Pharaoh's wrath was kindled against him: but it may be said, that Moses seemed then to be afraid of it, seeing he fled: to which it may be answered, that he showed great courage and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 11:28

Through faith he kept the passover ,.... Which Moses made, or appointed by divine direction; he kept it, with all its rites and ceremonies, and caused the people of Israel to observe it; and which he did, in faith of the speedy deliverance of the children of Israel, from the house of bondage; and in the faith of the Messiah, of whom the passover was a type; See Gill on 1 Corinthians 5:7 . The Syriac version reads, "through faith they kept the passover"; that is, the Israelites: and the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 11:29

By faith they passed through the Red sea, as by dry land ,.... Not through a river, but through the sea, the Red sea, the sea of Suph, or weeds; See Gill on Acts 7:36 . Some say they came out on the same side they went in; but it should seem rather, by the phrase here used, that they passed through it, from one side to the other; and that all one as if it had been on dry ground; even Moses, and all the children of Israel: and this they did by faith, believing, that God would make a passage... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 11:20

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau - He believed that God would fulfill his promise to his posterity; and God gave him to see what would befall them in their future generations. The apostle does not seem to intimate that one should be an object of the Divine hatred, and the other of Divine love, in reference to their eternal states. This is wholly a discovery of later ages. For an ample consideration of this subject, see the notes on Genesis 27 (note). read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 11:21

Blessed both the sons of Joseph - That is, Ephraim and Manasseh. See the account and the notes. Genesis 48:5 , etc. Worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff - This subject is particularly considered in the note, See Genesis 47:31 ; (note). It appears, that at the time Joseph visited his father he was very weak, and generally confined to his couch, having at hand his staff; either that with which he usually supported his feeble body, or that which was the ensign of his office,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 11:22

Joseph, when he died - Τελευτων , When he was dying, gave commandment concerning his bones. On this subject I refer the reader to the notes on Genesis 50:25 ; (note). And I have this to add to the account I have given of the sarcophagus now in the British Museum, vulgarly called Alexander's coffin, that it is more probably the coffin of Joseph himself; and, should the time ever arrive in which the hieroglyphics on it shall he interpreted, this conjecture may appear to have had its... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 11:23

By faith Moses, etc. - See the notes on Exodus 2:2 , and Acts 7:20 ; (note). We know that Moses was bred up at the Egyptian court, and there was considered to be the son of Pharaoh's daughter; and probably might have succeeded to the throne of Egypt: but, finding that God had visited his people, and given them a promise of spiritual and eternal blessings, he chose rather to take the lot of this people, i.e. God as his portion for ever, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin, which, however... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 11:26

The reproach of Christ - The Christ or Messiah had been revealed to Moses; of him he prophesied, Deuteronomy 18:15 ; and the reproach which God's people had, in consequence of their decided opposition to idolatry, may be termed the reproach of Christ, for they refused to become one people with the Egyptians, because the promise of the rest was made to them, and in this rest Christ and his salvation were included: but, although it does not appear these things were known to the Hebrews at... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 11:27

He forsook Egypt - He believed that God would fulfill the promise he had made; and he cheerfully changed an earthly for a heavenly portion. Not fearing the wrath of the king - The apostle speaks here of the departure of Moses with the Israelites, not of his flight to Midian, Exodus 2:14 , Exodus 2:15 ; for he was then in great fear: but when he went to Pharaoh with God's authority, to demand the dismission of the Hebrews, he was without fear, and acted in the most noble and dignified... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 11:28

He kept the passover - God told him that he would destroy the first-born of the Egyptians, but would spare all those whose doors were sprinkled with the blood of the paschal lamb. Moses believed this, kept the passover, and sprinkled the blood. See the notes on Exodus 12 (note). One of the Itala adds here, Fide praedaverunt Aegyptios exeuntes . "By faith, when they went out, they spoiled the Egyptians." This is any thing but genuine. read more
