17By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his one and only son;
18even he to whom it was said, "In Isaac will your seed be called;"
19accounting that God is able to raise up, even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
20By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
21By faith, Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshipped, leaning on the top of his staff.
22By faith, Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave instructions concerning his bones.
23By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king`s commandment.
