Hebrews 11:13
Compare all
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,”

Hebrews 11:13

Hebrews 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises. All the patriarchs named. They died without the fulfillment of the promises, either those of a temporal possession or of an innumerable seed. Having seen them afar off. They beheld them in the future by faith. Confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. By their whole lives that they were pilgrims. They had no fixed home and were waiting for a country.
