Commentary

Commentary on Hebrews 11:39

Theological / Devotional

Obtained a good report. Or, “though well attested” (RSV). See on verses 1, 4.

Through faith. See on verses 1, 3.

Received not the promise. Their faithfulness at moments of crisis often brought signal aid or deliverance, but they did not enter upon the inheritance promised to Abraham and the fathers. For comment see on verse 13.
