26 esteeming athe reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures2 in Egypt; for he looked to the breward.
27 By faith ahe forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.
28 By faith ahe kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29 By faith athey passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.
By Faith They Overcame
30 By faith athe walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days.
31 By faith athe harlot Rahab did not perish with those who1 did not believe, when bshe had received the spies with peace.
32 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of aGideon and bBarak and cSamson and dJephthah, also ofeDavid and fSamuel and the prophets:
33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, astopped the mouths of lions,
34aquenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
35aWomen received their dead raised to life again. Others were btortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
36 Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and aof chains and imprisonment.
37aThey were stoned, they were sawn in two,1 were tempted, were slain with the sword. bThey wandered about cin sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented—
38 of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, ain dens and caves of the earth.
39 And all these, ahaving obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise,
40 God having provided something better for us, that they should not be amade perfect apart from us.
The pouring out of the blood - Of the paschal lamb, which was sprinkled on the door - posts, lest the destroying angel should touch the Israelites. Exodus 12:12-18.
