Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 11:29

By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were swallowed up.Though the faith of Moses appears in this, it is also the faith of the people that enabled them to go into the sea at God's command and trust in a deliverance, which from the human point of view was impossible. There are several things of great interest here: (1) The same sea which delivered Israel swallowed the Egyptians. (2) All Israel were baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 11:30

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they hade been compassed about for seven days.Again it was the faith of Israel in the supernatural and invisible that sustained them and produced the victory.

But Jericho fell, just as God promised (Joshua 6). But note that no Israelite could have... read more

It was not from any perfection in Israel, nor as a capricious favor to them apart from a benevolent purpose for all mankind; but it was because of the moral corruption, decadence, and sin out of control in those cities described... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 11:32

And what shall I more say? for the time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah; of David, Samuel and the prophets: who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.This brings us to a break in the author's method, as he leaves off a more or less detailed reference to various outstanding exponents of faith and speaks more generally of a whole group of the faithful, covering the period after Israel's entry into Canaan... read more
