NASB | Hebrews 11:13 ¶ All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 11:13 ¶ All these died in faith [guided and sustained by it], without receiving the [tangible fulfillment of God's] promises, only having seen (anticipated) them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. [Gen 23:4; Ps 39:12] |
Bible Question (short): Did Enoch die? |
Question (full): Who are "these people" who all died in the verse? Do they cover all the heroes in faith mentioned from v. 1 to v. 12? Thus, do they include Enoch? Note that V.5 reads "Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found." To my knowledge, it has been a traditional interpretation to conclude that Enoch (his body and soul together) went to God in heaven, skipping death. |
