Commentary on Hebrews 11:15

Theological / Devotional

Had been mindful. Literally, “had kept in mind,” “had been thinking [intently] of.”

Opportunity to have returned. Abraham doubtless had had a good home in Haran, as before that in Ur of Chaldea. When famine came to the land of Canaan (see Genesis 12:10), he might reasonably have considered returning to Haran, where he had friends and close relatives. But Abraham was not one to retreat to a land which the Lord had instructed him to leave.
