8 By faith Abraham, when called to go out into a place that he should afterward receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10 for he looked for a city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
11 By faith also Sarah herself received strength for the conception of seed, and brought forth a child when past the time of life, because she counted him faithful who had promised.
12 Therefore, there were born of one, who was dead as it respects these things, a posterity like the stars of heaven in multitude, and like the sand on the sea-shore, innumerable.
13 All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off. and having embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners in the land.
14 For those who say such things, declare plainly that they seek a country.
15 And if indeed they had been mindful of that from which they came, they could have had an opportunity to return.
16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, that he should be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city.
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: even his first-born, did he that had received the promises, offer up,
18 of which first-born it was said: In Isaac shall your posterity be called:
19 for he concluded that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; wherefore he received him even in like manner.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped on the top of his staff.
22 By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the sons of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones.
23 By faith Moses was concealed by his parents for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child: and they feared not the command of the king.
24 By faith Moses, when he became a man, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
25 choosing rather to suffer evil with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season;
26 esteeming the reproach on account of the Christ as greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he earnestly looked to the reward.
27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king: for he patiently endured, as seeing him that is invisible.
28 By faith he kept the passover, and the affusion of blood, that he who destroyed the first-born might not touch them.
29 By faith they passed through the Bed Sea as by dry land, which the Egyptians attempting to do, were drowned.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after the people had gone around them for seven days.
31 By faith Rabab the harlot perished not with the disobedient, because she had received the spies with peace.
32 And what further shall I say? For the time would fail me, were I to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah, of David also and Samuel, and of the prophets,
