Commentary on Hebrews 11:8
Theological / DevotionalBy faith. See on verses 1, 3.
Abraham. For the experience here referred to see on Genesis 12:1-5.
Obeyed. He believed what God told him and acted accordingly. His faith found expression in faithful obedience.
Not knowing whither. According to Genesis 12:5 Abraham and his family “went forth to go into the land of Canaan.” This does not necessarily mean that he knew at the time of his departure what his destination was to be. He simply “went forth to go into [what turned out to be] the land of Canaan.” Obviously God instructed him as to the direction in which he was to set out and the route he was to follow.
