7 [11:13]All these died in faith not having received the promises, but
having seen and saluted them from a distance, and having professed that
they were foreigners and strangers on the earth. [11:14]For those who
say such things show that they seek a native country. [11:15]And if
they had remembered that country from which they went out, they would
have had opportunity to return; [11:16]but now they seek a better, that
is a heavenly [country]. Wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be
called their God; for he has prepared for them a city.

8 [11:17]By faith Abraham when tried offered Isaac, and he that
received the promises offered his only son, [11:18]of whom it was said,
In Isaac shall your posterity be called, [11:19]judging that God was
able to raise even from the dead; whence also in a figure he received
him. [11:20]By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in respect to
things to come. [11:21]By faith Jacob dying, blessed each of the sons
of Joseph and worshipped leaning on the top of his staff. [11:22]By
faith Joseph at the close of life made mention of the exodus of the
children of Israel and gave charge concerning his bones.

9 [11:23]By faith Moses when he was born was hid three months by his
parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they feared

refused to be called a son of Pharaoh's daughter, [11:25]choosing
rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to have an
enjoyment of sin for a time, [11:26]judging the reproach of Christ
greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he had respect to the
reward. [11:27]By faith he left Egypt, not having feared the
displeasure of the king; for he endured as seeing him that is
invisible. [11:28] By faith he observed the passover and the pouring
out of blood, that the destroyer of the first-born might not touch
them. [11:29]By faith they passed through the Red Sea as through dry
land, which the Egyptians attempting were swallowed up. [11:30]By faith
the walls of Jericho fell down when they had been surrounded seven
days. [11:31]By faith Rahab the harlot escaped destruction with the
disobedient, having received the spies in peace.

10 [11:32]And why should I say more? For time would fail me to relate
of Gideon and Barak, and Sampson and Jepthah, and David and Samuel and
the prophets, [11:33]who by faith subdued kingdoms, performed
righteousness, obtained promises
