Hebrews 11:19

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.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Hebrews 11:18

Hebrews 11:20 >>

Accounting that God was able even to raise him from the dead - Though there had not been any instance of this in the world. From whence also - To speak in a figurative way. He did receive him - Afterwards, snatched from the jaws of death.
