15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from which they came out, they might have had time to have returned.
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one; therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac, and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
18 of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called,
19 accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence he also received him in a figure.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning what they should become.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph, and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
