SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:11

Por la fe tambin la misma Sara, (siendo estril) recibi fuerza para concebir generacin; y dio a luz aun fuera del tiempo de la edad, porque crey ser fiel el que lo había prometido.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Hebrew 11:11

Verse 11. Through
faith also Sara] Her history, as far as the event here is concerned, may be seen Gen. xvii. 19, and Genesis xxi. 2. Sarah at first treated the Divine message with ridicule, judging it to be absolutely impossible, not knowing then that it was from God; and this her age and circumstances justified, for, humanly speaking, such an event was impossible: but, when she knew that it was God who said this, it does not appear that she doubted any more, but implicitly believed that what God had promised he was able to perform.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 11. Through
faith also Sarah herself , etc..] Some copies add being barren; and so read the Vulgate Latin, and all the Oriental versions; which is a circumstance which makes her faith appear the greater: but it is a question whether the apostle speaks of the faith of Sarah, or of Abraham; some think he speaks of Abraham's faith; and that it was through his faith that Sarah conceived; and observe, that the last clause may be rendered, because he judged him faithful, etc.. and the rather, because the apostle, both before and after, is speaking of Abraham's faith, ( Hebrews 11:8- 10,17). And in ( Hebrews 11:12) mention is made only of one, even of Abraham; and in ( Romans 4:17) only notice is taken of Abraham's faith, respecting this matter; nor is Sarah's faith observed in the history of it, but her diffidence: but why may not Sarah be joined with Abraham, in this commendation, as well as Isaac and Jacob? and though, at first, she distrusted, yet she afterwards feared, and believed: other women are mentioned in this catalogue of believers; and they share in the same grace and privileges as men: and Sarah, being a believer, as well as Abraham, received strength to conceive seed : sometimes strength itself signifies seed, as in ( Proverbs 31:3) and so to receive strength is to receive seed; which the female does from the male; hence that saying of the Jews f236 , the male does not receive strength from another, but the female jk tlbqm receiveth strength from another; but here it is to be understood of receiving power from God to retain seed, received from men, and conceive by it; which Sarah, in her circumstances, without the interposition of the almighty power, could never have done. The nymph Anobret is so called, in imitation of this conception of Sarah's; or as she is called in the Phoenician language, trbn[ j , which signifies conceiving by grace: as this conception must be entirely ascribed to the power and grace of God: and was delivered of a child when she was past age ; of bearing and bringing forth children, being ninety years of age, ( Genesis 17:17). Now though the conception, bearing, and bringing forth of children are things natural, ordinary, and common, yet here was a particular promise respecting this matter; and there were great difficulties in nature attending it, and such as to reason were insuperable; but these were got over, through the power and grace of God, and which is ascribed to faith in the faithfulness of a promising God: because she judged him faithful who had promised ; that she should have a son at the time of life; (see Gill on Hebrews 10:23).

Ver. 12 Therefore sprang there even of one , etc..] That is, Abraham: the Arabic version has here a strange interpolation; this faith Isaac and Rebecca conceived in mind, and so there were born of one, Esau and Jacob. And him as good as dead ; being an hundred years of age; (see Gill on Romans 4:19). The Ethiopic version reads, the bodies of both were like a dead carcass; both of Abraham and Sarah: so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable ; as was promised to Abraham, ( Genesis 15:5 22:17) which has been fulfilled, ( Isaiah 10:22) and will still have a further fulfilment, ( Hosea 1:10).


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 8-19 - We are often called to leave worldly connexions, interests, an comforts. If heirs of Abraham's faith, we shall obey and go forth though not knowing what may befall us; and we shall be found in the way of duty, looking for the performance of God's promises. The trial of Abraham's faith was, that he simply and fully obeyed the call of God Sarah received the promise as the promise of God; being convinced of that, she truly judged that he both could and would perform it. Many who have a part in the promises, do not soon receive the thing promised. Faith can lay hold of blessings at a great distance; can make them present; can love them and rejoice in them, though strangers; a saints, whose home is heaven; as pilgrims, travelling toward their home. By faith, they overcome the terrors of death, and bid a cheerfu farewell to this world, and to all the comforts and crosses of it. An those once truly and savingly called out of a sinful state, have n mind to return into it. All true believers desire the heavenl inheritance; and the stronger faith is, the more fervent those desire will be. Notwithstanding their meanness by nature, their vileness be sin, and the poverty of their outward condition, God is not ashamed to be called the God of all true believers; such is his mercy, such is his love to them. Let them never be ashamed of being called his people, no of any of those who are truly so, how much soever despised in the world. Above all, let them take care that they are not a shame an reproach to their God. The greatest trial and act of faith upon recor is, Abraham's offering up Isaac, Ge 22:2. There, every word shows trial. It is our duty to reason down our doubts and fears, by looking as Abraham did, to the Almighty power of God. The best way to enjoy ou comforts is, to give them up to God; he will then again give them a shall be the best for us. Let us look how far our faith has caused the like obedience, when we have been called to lesser acts of self-denial or to make smaller sacrifices to our duty. Have we given up what wa called for, fully believing that the Lord would make up all our losses and even bless us by the most afflicting dispensations?

11.
Sarah. Faith prevailing against natural impossibilities. See Romans iv. 19-22. Both Abraham and Sarah doubted at first (Gen. xvii. 17; xviii. 12); but both became persuaded of the truthfulness of the promise.

Herself (auth) She who at first doubted.

To conceive seed (eiv katabolhn spermatov). In every other instance in N.T. katabolh means foundation, and appears in the phrase katabolh kosmou foundation of the world. Originally it means throwing down; hence, the depositing of the male seed in the womb. The sentence may be explained either, "received strength as regarded the deposition of seed," to fructify it; or, "received strength for the foundation of a posterity," sperma being rendered in accordance with ch. ii. 16; xi. 18, and katabolh in the sense of foundation, as everywhere else in N.T.

And was delivered of a child when she was past age (kai para kairon hlikiav). Was delivered of a child not in the text. Kai and that. Rend. "received strength," etc., "and that when she was past age."Para kairon hJlikiav, lit. past the season of age. For hJlikia see on stature, Luke xii. 25.
