15. And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.

17. By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son;

20. By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even regarding things to come.
