A - Greek, 'the city,' etc. Compare Psalms 122:1-9. Worldly Enoch, son of the murderer Cain, was the first to build his city here: the godly patriarchs waited for their city hereafter (Hebrews 11:16; Hebrews 12:22; Hebrews 13:14).
Foundations - Greek, 'the foundations' which the tents had not, nor even men's present cities have.
Whose builder and maker, х technitees (G5079), deemiourgos (G1217): 'artificer and architect'] (Ephesians 1:4; Ephesians 1:11). The city is worthy of its Framer and Builder (cf. Hebrews 11:16; Hebrews 8:2). Compare 'found,' note, Hebrews 9:12.
