A.T. Robertson Commentary Hebrews 11:9

"By faith he became a sojourner in the land of promise, as in a [land] not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:" — Hebrews 11:9 (ASV)

Became a sojourner (παρωικησεν). First aorist active indicative of παροικεω, old verb to dwell (οικεω) beside (παρα), common in LXX, in N.T. only here and Lu 24:18. Called παροικον (sojourner) in Ac 7:6.

In the land of promise (εις γην της επαγγελιας). Literally, "land of the promise." The promise made by God to him (Genesis 12:7; Genesis 13:15; Genesis 17:8).

As in a land not his own (ως αλλοτριαν). For αλλοτριος (belonging to another) see 9:25; 11:34.

The heirs with him of the same promise (των συνκληρομενων της επαγγελιας της αυτης). Late double compound (συν, κληροσ, νεμομα), found in Philo, inscriptions and papyri, in N.T. only here, Romans 8:17; Ephesians 3:6; 1 Peter 3:7. "Co-heirs" with Abraham.
