Hebrews 11:38

Context
11:38 (the world was not worthy of them); they wandered in deserts and mountains and caves and openings in the earth.

1 tn Or “And again when he brings.” The translation adopted in the text looks forward to Christ’s second coming to earth. Some take “again” to introduce the quotation (as in 1:5) and understand this as Christ’s first coming, but this view does not fit well with Heb 2:7. Others understand it as his exaltation/ascension to heaven, but this takes the phrase “into the world” in an unlikely way.

2 sn A quotation combining themes from Deut 32:43 and Ps 97:7.

3 sn The phrase the world to come means “the coming inhabited earth,” using the Greek term which describes the world of people and their civilizations.

4 sn See the previous reference to the world in Heb 1:6.
