8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to set out for a place that he was to receive as an inheritance; and he set out, not knowing where he was going. 11By faith he received power of procreation, even though he was too oldand Sarah herself was barrenbecause he considered him faithful who had promised.* 12Therefore from one person, and this one as good as dead, descendants were born, as many as the stars of heaven and as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.
17 By faith Abraham, when put to the test, offered up Isaac. He who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son, 18of whom he had been told, It is through Isaac that descendants shall be named after you. 19He considered the fact that God is able even to raise someone from the deadand figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.
