orthjbc - 11

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now emunah is the bittachon of things for which we have tikvah. Emunah is the conviction of things not seen.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:2 @ For by emunah have our Zekenim been given approval.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:3 @ By emunah we understand Shomayim v'ha'Aretz found their "barah" from the Dvar Hashem, so that not from anything visible has what we see come into being. [Tehillim strkjv@33:6]

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:4 @ By emunah Hevel offered to Hashem a korban that was a mincha tovah than that of Kayin. Through this he was given approval that he was a tzaddik, Hashem bearing solemn edut (note:)testimony(:note) to his matanot; and by his emunah, Hevel, though niftar, still speaks. THE RAPTURE OF CHANOCH ENOCH WAS BY EMUNAH

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:5 @ By emunah Chanoch was taken up, was translated, not to see mavet, V'EINENNU KI LAKACH OTO ELOHIM (note:)"and he was not, because G-d took him [up]" Bereshis strkjv@5:24(:note). Before Chanoch was raptured in his aliyah l'Shomayim, he received solemn edut testimony that he have been pleasing to Hashem [cf. Bereshis strkjv@5:24]

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:6 @ And without emunah it is impossible to please Hashem. For it is necessary for the one approaching Hashem to have emunah in the yikum (note:)existence(:note) of Elohim, and that Elohim gives sachar reward to those who seek him with zerizut diligence.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:7 @ By emunah Noach, having been warned about the things not yet visible to the eye of flesh, and being an ish of yirat Shomayim, built the Teva (note:)Ark(:note) for the Geulah of the Beis HaNoach. By his emunah he condemned the Olam Hazeh and he became the yoresh heir of the Tzedek Hashem that is credited to emunah. [Bereshis strkjv@15:6; Chabakuk strkjv@2:4]

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:8 @ By emunah Avraham Avinu, when he was called to go out to a place which he was about to receive as a nachalah (note:)inheritance(:note), responded with mishma'at obedience, and he went out, not having da'as of where he was going.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:9 @ By emunah he made aliyah to HA'ARETZ ASHER DIBER (note:)"the land that He promised" Devarim strkjv@9:28(:note), the Ha'aretz haHavtacha the Promised Land, as in an eretz zarah a strange land, living in oholim tents, as did Yitzchak and Ya'akov, the fellow yorshim heirs of the same havtachah promise;

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:10 @ for Avraham Avinu was looking forward to HaIr (note:)The City(:note) having a yesod Olam eternally firm foundation, whose Planner and Builder is Hashem.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:11 @ By emunah also Sarah, herself barren, received the ability to found a posterity, and she did so even beyond the normal age, als (note:)since(:note) she considered ne'eman faithful the One having given the Havtachah promise;

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:12 @ therefore, also, from one man were born [Devarim strkjv@26:5] --and indeed this man was kimat (note:)practically, as good as(:note) dead--many, as numerous as HAKOKHAVIM in HASHOMAYIM and as innumberable as the KHOL ASHER AL SEFAT "sand that is on the seashore". [Bereshis strkjv@15:5; strkjv@22:17; strkjv@32:12]

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:13 @ Yet all of these became niftarim (note:)deceased(:note) in emunah, not having received the havtachot promises, but having seen them and, as it were, they gave the havtachot a "Baruch Habah!" welcome from a distance, and they made the Ani Ma'amin hoda'ah confession that they were GERIM "strangers"--Tehillim strkjv@39:13 and TOSHAVIM "sojourners" in the Golus of the Olam Hazeh.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:14 @ For those saying such things make it clear that they are searching for an Eretz HaAvot.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:15 @ And if they were remembering ha'aretz from which they made aliyah, they would have had an opportunity to make yerida (note:)to descend back, return(:note).

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:16 @ But, as it is, they aspire for something better, an Eretz HaAvot b'Shomayim; therefore, Hashem is not ashamed to be called "Ehoheihem;" for he prepared for them an Ir Kodesh.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:17 @ By emunah Avraham Avinu, when he underwent nisayon, offered up the Akedah HaYitzchak; and he who had received the Havtachot (note:)Promises(:note) was offering as a korban his Ben HaYachid.[Yochanan strkjv@3:16]

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:18 @ This was Avraham Avinu, about whom it was said KI VEYITZCHAK YIKARE LECHA ZERA (note:)"In Yitzchak will be called your seed" Bereshis strkjv@21:12(:note).

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:19 @ Avraham Avinu considered that Hashem was able to bring about the Techiyas HaMesim, from which he also received back Yitzchak as a tifus (note:)type(:note).

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:20 @ By emunah Yitzchak invoked berakhot with respect to future events on Ya'akov and Esav.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:21 @ By emunah Ya'akov, as he was dying, gave a berakhah to each of the banim of Yosef and V'YISHTAKHU YISROEL (note:)"And Yisroel worshiped"--Bereshis strkjv@47:31(:note).

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:22 @ By emunah Yosef, as he was dying, dermohn (note:)made mention(:note) of the Yetzi'at Bnei Yisroel and he gave instructions concerning his ATZMOT bones, Bereshis strkjv@50:25.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:23 @ By emunah, Moshe Rabbeinu, when he was born, was hidden SHELOSHA CHODESHIM [Shemot strkjv@2:2) because they saw he was a yeled TOV (note:)Shemot strkjv@2:2(:note) and they had no pachad terror at the king's decree.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:24 @ By emunah, Moshe Rabbeinu, when he had grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:25 @ chosing rather to endure redifah (note:)persecution(:note) with the Am Hashem than to enjoy the ephemeral pleasures of averos for a season.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:26 @ For Moshe Rabbeinu considered abuse and tzoros for the sake of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach greater osher (note:)riches(:note) than the otsar treasure of Mitzrayim Egypt, for he had respect unto the recompence of the sachar reward.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:27 @ By emunah, Moshe Rabbeinu departed from Mitzrayim (note:)Egypt(:note), not having pachad fear of the ka'as anger of the king, for he persevered as seeing the One who is unseen.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:28 @ By emunah, Moshe Rabbeinu kept Pesach and the sprinkling of the dahm [on the mezuzot, Shemot strkjv@12:22), for fear that the Destroyer of the Bechorim might destroy them.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:29 @ By emunah, they went through the Yam Suf as through YABASHAH (note:)dry ground, Bereshis strkjv@1:10(:note); and those of Mitzrayim Egypt, when they attempted it, were drowned. [Michoh strkjv@7:19]

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:30 @ By emunah, the walls of Yericho fell down, after they had been encircled for shivat yamim.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:31 @ By emunah, Rachav the Zonah did not perish along with the ones without mishma'at (note:)obedience(:note), after she gave the kabbalat panim to the spies b'shalom Yehoshua strkjv@2:9f.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what more shall I say? For the time will fail me if I tell of Gid'on, Barak, Shimshon, Yiftach, Dovid, Shmuel and the Nevi'im,

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:33 @ who by emunah conquered mamlechot, worked tzedek, obtained havtachot (note:)promises(:note), shut the mouths of arayot,

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:34 @ quenched the power of aish, escaped from the edge of the cherev, out of weakness found strength, became mighty in milkhamah, put to flight tzive'ot zarim (note:)armies of the aliens(:note).

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:35 @ Nashim received back their mesim restored to Chayyim; and others were tortured to death al kiddush ha-Shem, not accepting their release, in order that they might obtain a better Techiyas HaMesim;

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:36 @ and others underwent the nisayon of cruel mockings and scourgings, also the kaval and the beis hasohar.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:37 @ they were killed by seqilah (note:)stoning(:note), they were sawn in two, they were murdered by the cherev, they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being nitzrach and destitute, oppressed, under redifot persecutions,

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:38 @ those of whom the Olam Hazeh was not worthy, wandering in deserts and mountains and caves of the earth.

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:39 @ And all these, having Hashem's commendation through their emunah, did not receive the havtachah (note:)promise(:note),

orthjbc@Hebrews:11:40 @ Hashem having foreseen something better for us, so that, apart from us, they should not be made shelemut.
