This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Heb 13:14. Γὰρ, for) The reason why he uses the expression, the camp, not the city, Heb 13:13. Faith considers Jerusalem itself as a camp [not a city].-μένουσαν, μέλλουσαν) A Paranomasia. At the same time not continuing is an allusion to the devastation of Jerusalem, which was then at hand. He does not condescend to name the city, which does not continue. We do not continue here; nor does the city itself continue at all.-πόλιν, a city) ch. Heb 11:10, note. In like manner Paul, Php 3:20.-αέλλουσαν, one to come) ch. Heb 2:5, note.
