SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:29
Por la fe, pasaron el mar Bermejo como por tierra seca, lo cual probando los Egipcios, fueron consumidos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Hebrew 11:29
Verse 29. By faith they passed through the Red Sea] See the notes on "Exod. xiv. 22". The Egyptians thought they could walk through the sea as well as the Israelites; they tried, and were drowned; while the former passed in perfect safety. The one walked by faith, the other by sight; one perished, the other was saved.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. By faith they passed through the Red sea, as by dry land , etc..] Not through a river, but through the sea, the Red sea, the sea of Suph, or weeds; (see Gill on Acts 7:36). Some say they came out on the same side they went in; but it should seem rather, by the phrase here used, that they passed through it, from one side to the other; and that all one as if it had been on dry ground; even Moses, and all the children of Israel: and this they did by faith, believing, that God would make a passage quite through it for them, and deliver them out of the hands of their enemies, who were closely pursuing them: which the Egyptians assaying to do, were drowned . These were Pharaoh, and his numerous army; who, observing the Israelites march on through the sea, as on dry land, thought they could do the same; and so made an attempt, but were everyone of them drowned; in just retaliation for the cruel edict for drowning the male infants of the Israelites, as soon as they were born.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20-31 - Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, concerning things to come. Things presen are not the best things; no man knoweth love or hatred by having the or wanting them. Jacob lived by faith, and he died by faith, and in faith. Though the grace of faith is of use always through our whol lives, it is especially so when we come to die. Faith has a great wor to do at last, to help the believer to die to the Lord, so as to honou him, by patience, hope, and joy. Joseph was tried by temptations to sin, by persecution for keeping his integrity; and he was tried by honours and power in the court of Pharaoh, yet his faith carried his through. It is a great mercy to be free from wicked laws and edicts but when we are not so, we must use all lawful means for our security In this faith of Moses' parents there was a mixture of unbelief, but God was pleased to overlook it. Faith gives strength against the sinful, slavish fear of men; it sets God before the soul, shows the vanity of the creature, and that all must give way to the will an power of God. The pleasures of sin are, and will be, but short; the must end either in speedy repentance or in speedy ruin. The pleasure of this world are for the most part the pleasures of sin; they ar always so when we cannot enjoy them without deserting God and his people. Suffering is to be chosen rather than sin; there being mor evil in the least sin, than there can be in the greatest suffering God's people are, and always have been, a reproached people. Chris accounts himself reproached in their reproaches; and thus they becom greater riches than the treasures of the richest empire in the world Moses made his choice when ripe for judgment and enjoyment, able to know what he did, and why he did it. It is needful for persons to be seriously religious; to despise the world, when most capable of relishing and enjoying it. Believers may and ought to have respect to the recompence of reward. By faith we may be fully sure of God' providence, and of his gracious and powerful presence with us. Such sight of God will enable believers to keep on to the end, whatever the may meet in the way. It is not owing to our own righteousness, or bes performances, that we are saved from the wrath of God; but to the bloo of Christ, and his imputed righteousness. True faith makes sin bitte to the soul, even while it receives the pardon and atonement. All ou spiritual privileges on earth, should quicken us in our way to heaven The Lord will make even Babylon fall before the faith of his people and when he has some great thing to do for them, he raises up great an strong faith in them. A true believer is desirous, not only to be in covenant with God, but in communion with the people of God; and i willing to fare as they fare. By her works Rahab declared herself to be just. That she was not justified by her works appears plainly; becaus the work she did was faulty in the manner, and not perfectly good therefore it could not be answerable to the perfect justice of righteousness of God.
