• Have a summary in Heb. 11:13-16, which brings out the patriarchs refusing all temptation, and holding on the pilgrim way to death consistently with faith without the accomplishment of promise. (“Hebrews 11:13-16” by W. Kelly)
• Here (ver. 13), if we say "in," we mean according to faith, contrasted with sight or possession of the things promised. What indeed would be the sense of saying that "by" or "through" faith all these died? (“Hebrews 11:13-16” by W. Kelly)
• Conformity with faith is here predicated of Abraham and those patriarchs that followed, not for its perseverance to the end, though this was the fact, but in being content to wait for God's fulfilling the promises in due time. (“Hebrews 11:13-16” by W. Kelly)
• Their death without receiving what was promised was in accordance with faith, and the witness of its single-eyed integrity. (“Hebrews 11:13-16” by W. Kelly)
• {v.13-16} Here the failure is passed over, and God records all that in their lives was the fruit of His own grace. These verses are God’s epitaph upon the Patriarchs. (“Faith Laying Hold of the World to Come: Hebrews 11:8-22” by H. Smith)

All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar, and greeteda, and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
Or, "embraced." The additions of "and were persuaded" in the T. R. has scanty support of no account. It really enfeebles the truth. It is a delicate question whether the next clause keeps up the figure of "greeting" as well as seeing from afar, or adds the different side of truth in their warmth of taking their hope by faith.
