Hebrews 11:37
_ _ stoned — as Zechariah, son of Jehoiada (2 Chronicles 24:20-22; Matthew 23:35).
_ _ sawn asunder — as Isaiah was said to have been by Manasseh; but see my Introduction to Isaiah.
_ _ tempted — by their foes, in the midst of their tortures, to renounce their faith; the most bitter aggravation of them. Or else, by those of their own household, as Job was [Estius]; or by the fiery darts of Satan, as Jesus was in His last trials [Glassius]. Probably it included all three; they were tempted in every possible way, by friends and foes, by human and satanic agents, by caresses and afflictions, by words and deeds, to forsake God, but in vain, through the power of faith.
_ _ sword — literally, “they died in the murder of the sword.” In Hebrews 11:34 the contrary is given as an effect of faith, “they escaped the edge of the sword.” Both alike are marvelous effects of faith. In both accomplishes great things and suffers great things, without counting it suffering [Chrysostom]. Urijah was so slain by Jehoiakim (Jeremiah 26:23); and the prophets in Israel (1 Kings 19:10).
_ _ in sheepskins — as Elijah (1 Kings 19:13, Septuagint). They were white; as the “goat-skins” were black (compare Zechariah 13:4).
_ _ tormented — Greek, “in evil state.” |
Hebrews 11:37
They were sawn asunder — As, according to the tradition of the Jews, Isaiah was by Manasseh. Were tempted — Torments and death are mentioned alternately. Every way; by threatenings, reproaches, tortures, the variety of which cannot be expressed; and again by promises and allurements. |
Hebrews 11:37
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in (x) sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
(x) In vile and rough clothing, so were the saints brought to extreme poverty, and constrained to live like beasts in the wilderness. |
