Hebrews 11:9-13
11:9 By faith he lived as a foreigner
in the promised land as though it were a foreign country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who were fellow heirs
of the same promise.
11:10 For he was looking forward to the city with firm foundations,
whose architect and builder is God.
11:11 By faith, even though Sarah herself was barren and he was too old,
he received the ability to procreate,
because he regarded the one who had given the promise to be trustworthy.
11:12 So in fact children
were fathered by one man – and this one as good as dead –
like the number of stars in the sky and like the innumerable grains of sand on the seashore.
11:13 These all died in faith without receiving the things promised,
but they saw them in the distance and welcomed them and acknowledged that they were strangers and foreigners
on the earth.
