‏ Romans 11:11

11. I say then, Have they stumbled--"Did they stumble"

that they should fall? God forbid; but--the supplement "rather" is better omitted.

through their fall--literally, "trespass," but here best rendered "false step" [De Wette]; not "fall," as in our version.

salvation is come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy--Here, as also in Ro 10:19 (quoted from De 32:21), we see that emulation is a legitimate stimulus to what is good.
