Hebrews 11:17-23, 27-31 (Epistle)
- 17
- By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
- 18
- of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed shall be called,”
- 19
- concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.
- 20
- By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
- 21
- By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
- 22
- By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.
- 23
- By faith Moses, 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 command.
- 27
- By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.
- 28
- By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
- 29
- By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.
- 30
- By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days.
- 31
- By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace.
