“By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:”
By faith he stayed for a time in the land he had been promised, as in a foreign land, living in tents as did Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise — Abraham's dwelling (paroikeō, to live as a resident alien) in Canaan while in tents (skēnē) manifests expectation of something beyond: he inhabited as a foreigner in his promised land because faith looks beyond the visible.
