Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:18

18. Of whom—rather as Greek "He (Abraham, not Isaac) TO whom it was said" [ALFORD]. BENGEL supports English Version. So :- uses the same Greek preposition, "unto," for "in respect to," or "of." This verse gives a definition of the "only-begotten Son" ( :-). in Isaac shall thy seed be called— (Genesis 21:12). The posterity of Isaac alone shall be accounted as the seed of Abraham, which is the heir of the promises (Genesis 21:12- :). read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:19

19. Faith answered the objections which reason brought against God's command to Abraham to offer Isaac, by suggesting that what God had promised He both could and would perform, however impossible the performance might seem (Romans 4:20; Romans 4:21). able to raise him —rather, in general, "able to raise from the dead." Compare Romans 4:17, "God who quickeneth the dead." The quickening of Sarah's dead womb suggested the thought of God's power to raise even the dead, though no instance of it had... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:20

20. Jacob is put before Esau, as heir of the chief, namely, the spiritual blessing. concerning things to come—Greek, "even concerning things to come": not only concerning things present. Isaac, by faith, assigned to his sons things future, as if they were present. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:21

21. both the sons—Greek, "each of the sons" (Genesis 47:29; Genesis 48:8-20). He knew not Joseph's sons, and could not distinguish them by sight, yet he did distinguish them by faith, transposing his hands intentionally, so as to lay his right hand on the younger, Ephraim, whose posterity was to be greater than that of Manasseh: he also adopted these grandchildren as his own sons, after having transferred the right of primogeniture to Joseph (Genesis 48:22). and worshipped—This did not take... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:22

22. when he died—"when dying." the departing—"the exodus" (Genesis 50:24; Genesis 50:25). Joseph's eminent position in Egypt did not make him regard it as his home: in faith he looked to God's promise of Canaan being fulfilled and desired that his bones should rest there: testifying thus: (1) that he had no doubt of his posterity obtaining the promised land: and (2) that he believed in the resurrection of the body, and the enjoyment in it of the heavenly Canaan. His wish was fulfilled (Joshua... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:23

23. parents—So the Septuagint has the plural, namely, Amram and Jochebed ( :-); but in Exodus 2:2, the mother alone is mentioned; but doubtless Amram sanctioned all she did, and secrecy. being their object, he did not appear prominent in what was done. a proper child—Greek, "a comely child." Exodus 2:2- :, "exceeding fair," Greek, "fair to God." The "faith" of his parents in saving the child must have had some divine revelation to rest on (probably at the time of his birth), which marked their... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:24

24. So far from faith being opposed to Moses, he was an eminent example of it [BENGEL]. refused—in believing self-denial, when he might possibly have succeeded at last to the throne of Egypt. Thermutis, Pharaoh's daughter, according to the tradition which Paul under the Spirit sanctions, adopted him, as JOSEPHUS says, with the consent of the king. JOSEPHUS states that when a child, he threw on the ground the diadem put on him in jest, a presage of his subsequent formal rejection of Thermutis'... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:25

25. He balanced the best of the world with the worst of religion, and decidedly chose the latter. "Choosing" implies a deliberate resolution, not a hasty impulse. He was forty years old, a time when the judgment is matured. for a season—If the world has "pleasure" (Greek, "enjoyment") to offer, it is but "for a season." If religion bring with it "affliction," it too is but for a season; whereas its "pleasures are for evermore." read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:26

26. Esteeming—Inasmuch as he esteemed. the reproach of Christ—that is, the reproach which falls on the Church, and which Christ regards as His own reproach, He being the Head, and the Church (both of the Old and New Testament) His body. Israel typified Christ; Israel's sufferings were Christ's sufferings (compare 2 Corinthians 1:5; Colossians 1:24). As uncircumcision was Egypt's reproach, so circumcision was the badge of Israel's expectation of Christ, which Moses especially cherished, and... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 11:27

27. not fearing the wrath of the king—But in Exodus 2:14 it is said, "Moses feared, and fled from the face of Pharaoh." He was afraid, and fled from the danger where no duty called him to stay (to have stayed without call of duty would have been to tempt Providence, and to sacrifice his hope of being Israel's future deliverer according to the divine intimations; his great aim, see on Hebrews 11:1). He did not fear the king so as to neglect his duty and not return when God called him. It was in... read more
