This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb_11:30. The example of faith afforded by the Israelite people in connection with the siege of Jericho, Joshua 6.
Πίστει ] on the ground of faith, which, namely, the people displayed. Wrongly Grotius, who supposes πίστει is to be construed with κυκλωθέντα .
ἔπεσαν ] On the plural of the verb with the neuter plur., see Winer, Gramm., 7 Aufl. p. 479.
κυκλωθέντα ] after they (daily with the ark of the covenant, heralded by trumpet blast) had been encircled (incorrectly Schulz, and others: beleaguered).
ἐπὶ ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ] for seven days, seven days long. Comp. Winer, Gramm., 7 Aufl. p. 381.
