11:1-40 In presenting readers with a long catalog of faith-filled heroes, ch 11 builds up overwhelming evidence that the life of faith is the only real way to live for God. The writer repeats the phrase by faith to drive this main message into the minds and hearts of his hearers. The examples follow a pattern: (a) the phrase by faith, (b) the name of the person, (c) the event or action which demonstrated faith, and (d) the outcome.
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
ὃν
whom
Here, the word whom refers to Abraham. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make to whom whom refers explicit. Alternate translation: “which man Abraham”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐλαλήθη
˱it˲_/was/_spoken
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The author uses the passive form here to focus on what is said rather than on the person doing the saying. If you must state who did the action, the author implies that God did it. Alternate translation: “God said”
Note 3 topic: writing-quotations
ἐλαλήθη
˱it˲_/was/_spoken
Here the author quotes from the Old Testament Scriptures. He does not introduce the words as a quotation but instead introduces them as something that God said to Abraham. However, the audience would have understood that these were words from the Old Testament, specifically from Genesis 21:12. If your readers would not know that the quotation is from the Old Testament, you could include a footnote or use some other form to identify it. Alternate translation: “it was spoken”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
κληθήσεταί σοι σπέρμα
/will_be_being/_named ˱to˲_you descendants
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The author uses the passive form here to focus on the offspring that is named rather than on the person doing the naming. If you must state who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: “people will name your offspring”
σπέρμα
descendants
Here, the word offspring is a singular noun that refers to many descendants. It may be more natural in your language to use a plural form. Alternate translation: “descendants”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
κληθήσεταί
/will_be_being/_named
In the culture of the author of the quotation, naming offspring through someone refers to identifying the ancestor of a specific group of people. Your language may have its own way of identifying an ancestor. Alternate translation: “will be traced” or “will descend”
