By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, mentioned the exodus of the sons of Israel and gave instructions about his burial.

And those of the sons of Levi who receive the priestly office have authorization according to the law to collect a tithe from the people, that is, from their fellow countrymen, although they too are descendants of Abraham.

The Son is the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, and he sustains all things by his powerful word, and so when he had accomplished cleansing for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

But when he again brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him!”

God had told him, “Through Isaac descendants will carry on your name,”

By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning the future.

By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the one who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them.

And see to it that no one becomes an immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal.

Thus he became so far better than the angels as he has inherited a name superior to theirs.

But to which of the angels has he ever said, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?

and he reasoned that God could even raise him from the dead, and in a sense he received him back from there.
