By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger, living in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who also inherited the same promise,

By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered Isaac he who had received the promises was about to offer his unique son in sacrifice,

about whom it had been said, "It is through Isaac that descendants will be named for you."

Abraham was certain that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did get Isaac back in this way.

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.
