9By faith he was a wanderer in the land of the agreement, as in a strange land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who had a part with him in the same heritage:
10For he was looking for the strong town, whose builder and maker is God.
11And by faith Sarah herself had power to give birth, when she was very old, because she had faith in him who gave his word;
12So that from one man, who was near to death, came children in number as the stars in heaven, or as the sand by the seaside, which may not be numbered.
13All these came to their end in faith, not having had the heritage; but having seen it with delight far away, they gave witness that they were wanderers and not of the earth.
14For those who say such things make it clear that they are searching for a country for themselves.
15And truly if they had kept in mind the country from which they went out, they would have had chances of turning back.
