Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation;

who needeth not daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the'sins of the people: for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself.

By faith Abraham, being tried, offered up Isaac: yea, he that had gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten'son ;

accounting that God is able to raise up, even from the dead; from whence he did also in a figure receive him back.

By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were swallowed up.
