17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had received the promises was offering up his one and only son—
18 the one about whom it was said, “Through Isaac offspring shall be named for you.”
19 He reasoned that God was able to raise him up even from the dead—and in a sense, he did receive him back from there.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
21 By faith Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and he bowed in worship while leaning on the top of his staff.
22 By faith Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the exodus of Bnei-Yisrael and gave instructions about his bones.
23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was an extraordinary child and they were not afraid of the king’s decree.
