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] |
Subject: Did Enoch die? |
Bible Note: Hi EdB, You asked, "What does all mean? All used here is understood to mean all the previously mentioned people." Not necesarily... I believe the apparent contradiction can be cleared up by noting the sentence structure and grammar of the original:-) In the passage speaking of Enoch, the sentence starts in verse 4 and ends in verse 7. The next portion- to which you refer and contains vs 13- starts in verse 8 and end in verse 16. As Robertson notes in his Word Pictures, These all [houtoi pantes]. Those in verses 9–12 (Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob). I would argue that the grammar gives answer your objection! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
