ISB ~ Hebrews 11 v13

exiles on the earth:The Patriarchs realized that earth was not their true home and so longed for a dwelling more glorious and lasting (11:10). Hebrews pictures this as a heavenly land (11:15-16), city (11:10; 12:22), and sanctuary (8:5; 9:24).

These transcendent realities were symbolized by the concentric zones of sacred space revered in ancient Judaism:the land of Israel, encompassing the city of Jerusalem, encompassing the sanctuary of Moses.
