17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up
Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the
act of offering up his only son, 18 of whom it was said,
“Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 19 He
considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from
which, figuratively speaking, he did
receive him back. 20 By faith Isaac invoked future
blessings on Jacob and Esau. 21 By faith Jacob, when
dying,
blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bowing in worship over the head
of his staff. 22 By faith Joseph, at the end
of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave
directions concerning his bones.
