巡礼者の定義 ワースビーより

ウォーレン・ワースビーのコメンタリーより

創世記26章23〜25節の解説

 Like his father Abraham, Isaac was identified by his tent and altar (Gen. 26:25; see also 12:7-8; 13:3-4, 18). Isaac was wealthy enough to be able to build himself a fine house, but his tent identified him as a pilgrim and stranger in the land (Heb. 11:8-10, 13-16). A fugitive is fleeing from home; a vagabond has no home; a stranger is away from home; but a pilgrim is heading home. The tent identified Isaac as a pilgrim, and the altar announced that he worshipped Jehovah and was heading to the heavenly kingdom.

私訳を試みると

「家から逃げるのが逃亡者、家を持たないのが浮浪者、家から離れているのが旅人、そして家を目指しているのが巡礼者。」

となる。
