For he looked for a city having a foundation, whose builder and maker is God. Through faith Sarah also received strength to be with child, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful which had promised. And therefore sprang thereof one - and of one which was as good as dead - so many in multitude, as the stars of the sky, and as the sand of the sea shore which is innumerable.

They that say such things, declare that they seek a country. Also, if they had been mindful of that country, from whence they came out, they had leisure to have returned again.

By faith Abraham offered up Isaac, when he was tempted, and he offered him being his only begotten son, which had received the promises: Of whom it was said, "In Isaac shall thy seed be called." For he considered that God was able to raise up again from death. Wherefore received he him, for an example of the resurrection. In faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, as concerning things to come. By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph, and bowed himself toward the top of his scepter.
