Hebrews 11:11
Compare all
9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, adwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, bthe heirs with him of the same promise;  
10 for he waited for athe city which has foundations, bwhose builder and maker is God.  
11 By faith aSarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and bshe bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him cfaithful who had promised.  
12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as adead, were born as many as the bstars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.  

The Heavenly Hope

13 These all died in faith, anot having received the bpromises, but chaving seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and dconfessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.  
14 For those who say such things adeclare plainly that they seek a homeland.  
15 And truly if they had called to mind athat country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return.  
16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed ato be called their God, for He has bprepared a city for them.  

The Faith of the Patriarchs

17 By faith Abraham, awhen he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,  
18 1of whom it was said, a“In Isaac your seed shall be called,”  
19 concluding that God awas able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.  
20 By faith aIsaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.  
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, ablessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
