Matthew Poole and continuators on Hebrews 11:9

By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, a[illegible: 1 letter] in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.

By the same Divine Faith he passed from Tent to Tent, moving it from Place to Place, as God ordered; so as he rather sojourned than dwelt in any. His Journal is legible in Moses's History, moving from Charran to Shechem, from thence to Beth-el, and then more Southward, and thence to Egypt; See Gen. ch. 12. so that he sojourned in Canaan, and the adjoyning Countrys, which God had covenanted to give for an Inheritance to him and his Seed, Gen. 15.18, to 21. yet by Faith he would stay God's time for it, but lived in it as a Stranger, not having in Possession one Foot of Ground, but what he bought for a Burying-place, Gen. 25.9, 10, Acts 7.5.

Here he with his Son Isaac, and Grandson, and their Seed, Coheirs with him of Canaan, built no Houses, but lived in Tents, which they might pitch or remove at God's Pleasure, and as he called them, as who were Strangers to this Country, and to the Inhabitants of it, and with whom they were to have no spiritual Society, as travelling to a better, being in this World, but neither Citizens nor inhabitants of it, but as Denizons of a more excellent one, Gen. 26.3. and 28.13, 14.
