Hebrews 11:8-22   1599 Geneva Bible     8 a]">[a]By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed God, to go out into a place, which he should afterward receive for inheritance, and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9 By faith he abode in the land of promise, as in a strange country, as one that dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he looked for a city having a b]">[b]foundation, whose builder and maker is God. 11 Through faith Sarah also received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful which had promised. 12 And therefore sprang thereof one, even of one which was c]">[c]dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand of the sea shore which is innumerable. 13 All these died in d]">[d]faith, and received not the e]">[e]promises, but saw them afar off, and believed them, and f]">[f]received them thankfully, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For they that say such things, declare plainly, that they seek a country. 15 And if they had been mindful of that country, from whence they came out, they had leisure to have returned. 16 But now they desire a better, that is an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. 17 By faith Abraham offered up Isaac, when he was g]">[g]tried, and he that had received the h]">[h]promises, offered his only begotten son. 18 (To whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.) 19 For he considered that God was able to raise him up even from the dead: from i]">[i]whence he received him also after j]">[j]a sort. 20 k]">[k]By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, concerning things to come. 21 l]">[l]By faith Jacob when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph, and leaning on the end of his staff, worshipped God. 22 m]">[m]By faith Joseph when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel, and gave commandment of his bones.
