SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:7

Por la fe, No habiendo recibido revelacin de cosas que aun no se veían, aparej con mucho cuidado el arca en que su casa se salvase; arca por la cual conden al mundo, y fue hecho heredero de la justicia que es por la fe.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Hebrew 11:7

Verse 7. By
faith Noah] See the whole of this history, Genesis vi. 13.

Warned of God] xrhmatisqeiv. As we know from the history in Genesis that God did warn Noah, we see from this the real import of the verb crhmatizw, as used in various parts of the New Testament; it signifies to utter oracles, to give Divine warning.

Moved with fear] eulabhqeiv? Influenced by religious fear or reverence towards God. This is mentioned to show that he acted not from a fear of losing his life, but from the fear of God; and hence that fear is here properly attributed to faith.

He condemned the world] HE credited God, they did not; he walked in the way God had commanded, they did not; he repeatedly admonished them, 1 Pet. iii. 20, they regarded it not; this aggravated their crimes while it exalted his faith and righteousness. "His faith and obedience condemned the world, i.e. the unbelievers, in the same sense in which every good man's virtues and exhortations condemn such as will not attend to and imitate them." Dodd.

Became heir of the righteousness] He became entitled to that justification which is by faith; and his temporal deliverance was a pledge of the salvation of his soul.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 7. By faith Noah, being warned of God , etc..] In the Greek text, Noah is called Noe, and so the Septuagint interpreters of the Old Testament call him; but Josephus calls him Noeos: or having received an oracle from God; in which he was admonished, how to make an ark, as Moses was, in like manner, how to make a tabernacle, ( Hebrews 8:5).

This oracle or warning is extant, in ( Genesis 6:13-22) and it was of things not seen as yet ; as the universal deluge; the building of an ark or ship, which was the first that ever was in the world; the entrance of all creatures into it; their preservation in it, and the destruction of all without it: and this divine warning, or oracle, concerning things of such a nature, delivered to Noah, and received by him, shows that he was a favourite of God; that his faith rested in the word of God; and that it agreed with the apostle's definition of faith, ( Hebrews 11:1), moved with fear ; not with a fear of his own damnation; nor with a distrust of the salvation of himself and his family in the ark; but with an awful sense of the judgments of God upon the wicked; and with reverence of God, from whom he received the oracle; and with a religious fear, with which he worshipped God, and which he discovered by a regard to his word and ordinances; and which fear does not arise from nature, but from grace; and is increased by the discoveries of divine love; and is consistent with faith, goes along with it, and is a fruit of it: hence he prepared an ark for the saving of his house . Immediately, and without delay, he set about the building of the ark, and made it exactly according to the pattern which was given him; and his end in it was to secure his family, himself and his wife, his three sons and their wives, from the flood, which he believed would shortly come upon the world, according to the word of God; and in this his faith was seen: and from hence it may be observed, that, though God can save without means, yet, generally speaking, it is his will to save by them; and that as God saved Noah and his family in the waters, so he can, and does, save his people in afflictions; and also, that true faith is attended with obedience: by the which he condemned the world : the inhabitants of the world, the world of the ungodly: as a preacher, he declared they would be condemned, in case of impenitence and unbelief; and his words heard, and his actions seen by them, were aggravations of their condemnation; for by his works, as well as by his words, he reproved, and condemned them; by building the ark, as he declared his own faith, so he condemned their unbelief; (see Gill on Matthew 12:41) and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith : not of the law, but of the righteousness of Christ, and of eternal life through that; for he was not only heir of this world, as Abraham, but of that which is to come; and not through works of righteousness done by him, but through the righteousness of Christ received by faith, or through faith in Christ, the antitype of the ark.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 4-7 - Here follow some illustrious examples of faith from the Old Testament Abel brought a sacrifice of atonement from the firstlings of the flock acknowledging himself a sinner who deserved to die, and only hoping for mercy through the great Sacrifice. Cain's proud rage and enmity agains the accepted worshipper of God, led to the awful effects the sam principles have produced in every age; the cruel persecution, and eve murder of believers. By faith Abel, being dead, yet speaketh; he lef an instructive and speaking example. Enoch was translated, or removed that he should not see death; God took him into heaven, as Christ wil do the saints who shall be alive at his second coming. We cannot com to God, unless we believe that he is what he has revealed himself to be in the Scripture. Those who would find God, must seek him with all their heart. Noah's faith influenced his practice; it moved him to prepare an ark. His faith condemned the unbelief of others; and his obedience condemned their contempt and rebellion. Good examples eithe convert sinners or condemn them. This shows how believers, being warne of God to flee from the wrath to come, are moved with fear, take refug in Christ, and become heirs of the righteousness of faith.
