Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:31

31. Rahab showed her "faith" in her confession, Joshua 2:9; Joshua 2:11, "I know that Jehovah hath given you the land; Jehovah your God, is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath." the harlot—Her former life adds to the marvel of her repentance, faith, and preservation (Matthew 21:31; Matthew 21:32). believed not—Greek, "were disobedient," namely, to the will of God manifested by the miracles wrought in behalf of Israel (Matthew 21:32- :). received—in her house (Joshua 2:1; Joshua 2:4;... read more

32. the time—suitable for the length of an Epistle. He accumulates collectively some out of many examples of faith. Gideon—put before Barak, not chronologically, but as being more celebrated. Just as Samson for the same reason is put before Jephthæ. The mention of Jephthæ as an example of "faith," makes it unlikely he sacrificed the life of his daughter for a rash vow. David, the warrior king and prophet, forms the transition from warrior chiefs to the "prophets," of whom "Samuel" is mentioned... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:33

33. subdued kingdoms—as David did (2 Samuel 8:1, c.) so also Gideon subdued Midian (Judges 7:1-25). wrought righteousness—as Samuel did (1 Samuel 8:9; 1 Samuel 12:3-23; 1 Samuel 15:33); and David (1 Samuel 15:33- :). obtained promises—as "the prophets" (1 Samuel 15:33- :) did; for through them the promises were given (compare 1 Samuel 15:33- :) [BENGEL]. Rather, "obtained the fulfilment of promises," which had been previously the object of their faith (Joshua 21:45; 1 Kings 8:56). Indeed,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:34

34. Quenched the violence of fire— (Daniel 3:27). Not merely "quenched the fire," but "quenched the power (so the Greek) of the fire." Daniel 3:19-30; Daniel 6:12-23 record the last miracles of the Old Testament. So the martyrs of the Reformation, though not escaping the fire, were delivered from its having power really or lastingly to hurt them. escaped . . . sword—So Jephthah (Judges 12:3); and so David escaped Saul's sword (1 Samuel 18:11; 1 Samuel 19:10; 1 Samuel 19:12); Elijah (1 Kings... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:35

35. Women received their dead raised—as the widow of Zarephath ( :-). The Shunammite ( :-). The two oldest manuscripts read. "They received women of aliens by raising their dead." :- shows that the raising of the widow's son by Elijah led her to the faith, so that he thus took her into fellowship, an alien though she was. Christ, in :-, makes especial mention of the fact that Elijah was sent to an alien from Israel, a woman of Sarepta. Thus Paul may quote this as an instance of Elijah's... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:36

36. others—of a different class of confessors for the truth (the Greek is different from that for "others," :-, alloi, heteroi). trial—testing their faith. imprisonment—as Hanani (2 Chronicles 16:10), imprisoned by Asa. Micaiah, the son of Imlah, by Ahab (1 Kings 22:26; 1 Kings 22:27). read more

37. stoned—as Zechariah, son of Jehoiada (2 Chronicles 24:20-22; Matthew 23:35). sawn asunder—as Isaiah was said to have been by Manasseh; but see my Matthew 23:35- : to Isaiah. tempted—by their foes, in the midst of their tortures, to renounce their faith; the most bitter aggravation of them. Or else, by those of their own household, as Job was [ESTIUS]; or by the fiery darts of Satan, as Jesus was in His last trials [GLASSIUS]. Probably it included all three; they were tempted in every... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:38

38. Of whom the world was not worthy—So far from their being unworthy of living in the world, as their exile in deserts, c., might seem to imply, "the world was not worthy of them." The world, in shutting them out, shut out from itself a source of blessing such as Joseph proved to Potiphar (Genesis 39:5), and Jacob to Laban (Genesis 30:27). In condemning them, the world condemned itself. caves—literally, "chinks." Palestine, from its hilly character, abounds in fissures and caves, affording... read more

3. Faith in the Mosaic Era 11:23-31Here the writer began to focus on the way faith deals with hostility and persecution, a subject of special interest to his audience, which was facing opposition from Jewish brethren."Moses and Abraham hold the most prominent places in the roll of faith; and the central event of both their lives, as Hebrews presents them, is a journey." [Note: Ellingworth, p. 608.] read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 11:29-30

The people of Israel experienced victory over their enemies as they trusted God, and we can, too. At the Red Sea the Israelites willingly went forward at God’s word rather than turning back. Trust and obedience resulted in the Israelites’ preservation and eventual entrance into their inheritance. The believing community that originally received this homily could identify with a group of people who persevered, not just individuals who did. read more
