Hebrews 11:17–31

The Faith of the Patriarchs

17 By faith Abraham, awhen he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18 6of whom it was said, b“In Isaac your seed shall be called,” 19 concluding that God cwas able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.

20 By faith dIsaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, eblessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

22 By faith fJoseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.

The Faith of Moses

23 By faith gMoses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s hcommand.

24 By faith iMoses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the 7passing pleasures of sin, 26 esteeming jthe 8reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures 9in Egypt; for he looked to the kreward.

27 By faith lhe forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. 28 By faith mhe kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

29 By faith nthey passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.

By Faith They Overcame
