Clarke's Commentary on the BibleDeclare plainly that they seek a country - A man's country is that in which he has constitutional rights and privileges; no stranger or sojourner has any such rights in the country where he sojourns. These, by declaring that they felt themselves strangers and sojourners, professed their faith in a heavenly country and state, and looked beyond the grave for a place of happiness. No intelligent Jew could suppose that Canaan was all the rest which God had promised to his people. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge they seek. Hebrews 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: why God is not ashamed to be called their God... Hebrews 13:14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. Romans 8:23-25 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves... 2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal... 2 Corinthians 5:1-7 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands... Philippians 1:23 For I am in a strait between two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Hebrews 11:14 Parallel Commentaries
