Hebrews 11:17-19

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁷ Abraham believed God when he was tested. The test was to give Isaac as a sacrifice. Abraham gave up his only son, even though God had made a promise to him about Isaac.

¹⁸ God had said to Abraham, `Isaac's children will be called your family.'

¹⁹ Abraham said in his heart that God could bring Isaac back to life. And so it was just as if he did get his son back.
