Hebrews 11:4

Abel] The writer says that the greater excellence of Abel's sacrifice was due to his faith, but in what particular the faith was manifested he does not say. It may have been a 'fallen consciousness of the claim of God to the best'.

Yet speaketh] 'Yet,' i.e. still to us. The reference is to Genesis 4:10, where Abel's blood is represented as crying from the ground after his death. By faith he overcame death.

5, 6. Enoch] The writer here follows the Greek Version of the OT. Enoch's faith is an inference from the statement in Genesis that he 'walked with God' (Gk. 'pleased God'), and his 'translation' was the reward of his faith.
