He feels helpless to go on in the same style as he has done from Abel to Rahab (11:4-31). Will fail me if I tell about Literally, “will leave me telling about.” Present middle participle of διηγεομαι diēgeomai to lead through, carry a discussion through, and masculine (disposing of Priscilla as possible author) with με me Vivid and picturesque description of the author‘s embarrassment of riches as he contemplates the long list of the heroes of faith during the long years in Palestine.
