Hebrews 11:17-20 · BSB

¹⁶Instead, they were longing for a better country, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

¹⁷By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac on the altar. He who had received the promises was ready to offer his one and only son,

¹⁸even though God had said to him, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”

¹⁹Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death.

²⁰By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning the future.

²¹By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.
