Commentary on Hebrews 11:9
Abraham 'sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country' living in tents with Isaac and Jacob who were 'heirs with him of the same promise.' Though God promised him the land, he lived as a foreigner never possessing it. This demonstrated faith that looked beyond earthly inheritance to heavenly reality. His pilgrim lifestyle testified that he sought something better than earthly possession.
