Notes: In many languages the process of becoming pregnant is expressed in different ways: ‘to begin to become large,’ ‘to receive sperm,’ ‘to let a child enter,’ or ‘to stop bleeding’ (a reference to the cessation of menstrual periods).|There are a number of textual problems involved in this expression in OET HEB 11:11, and many scholars have concluded that the reference is not to Sarah’s conceiving but to Abraham’s being able to become a father (see Today’s English Version).
