IN A FIGURE

^{Hebrews 11:17-40}

BY FAITH 

ABRAHAM, WHEN HE WAS TRIED, OFFERED UP ISAAC: 

AND HE THAT HAD RECEIVED THE PROMISES 

OFFERED UP HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, 

OF WHOM IT WAS SAID, 

THAT IN ISAAC SHALL THY SEED BE CALLED:

 ACCOUNTING THAT GOD WAS ABLE 

TO RAISE HIM UP, 

EVEN FROM THE DEAD; 

FROM WHENCE 
ALSO HE RECEIVED HIM

 IN A FIGURE.  

BY FAITH

ISAAC

blessed Jacob and Esau 

CONCERNING THINGS TO COME

BY FAITH

JACOB,

WHEN HE WAS DYING

blessed both the sons of Joseph; and 

WORSHIPPED,

LEANING UPON THE TOP OF HIS STAFF.

BY FAITH

 JOSEPH, 

WHEN HE DIED,

MADE MENTION 

of the departing of the children of Israel;and

 GAVE COMMANDMENT CONCERNING HIS BONES.

BY FAITH

MOSES

WHEN HE WAS BORN, 

was hid three months of his parents, 

because they saw he was A PROPER CHILD; 

and they were NOT AFRAID of the king's commandment.

BY FAITH

MOSES, 

when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

CHOOSING RATHER TO SUFFER AFFLICTION WITH THE PEOPLE OF GOD,

THAN TO ENJOY THE PLEASURE OF SIN FOR A SEASON; 

ESTEEMING THE REPROACH OF CHRIST 

GREATER RICHES THAN THE TREASURES IN EGYPT: 

FOR HE HAD RESPECT 

UNTO THE RECOMPENCE OF THE REWARD;

BY FAITH

HE FORSOOK EGYPT, 
NOT FEARING 
THE WRATH OF THE KING 

FOR HE ENDURED, 

AS SEEING 

HIM WHO IS INVISIBLE.

THROUGH FAITH

HE KEPT THE PASSOVER, 

AND THE SPRINKLING OF BLOOD,

 LEST HE THAT DESTROYED THE FIRSTBORN 

SHOULD TOUCH THEM.

BY FAITH

 THEY PASSED THROUGH 

THE RED SEA AS 

BY DRY LAND: 

WHICH THE EGYPTIANS ASSAYING TO DO WERE DROWNED.

BY FAITH

 the walls of Jericho fell down, 

AFTER they were compassed ABOUT SEVEN DAYS. 

BY FAITH

 THE HARLOT RAHAB PERISHED NOT WITH THEM 

THAT BELIEVE NOT, 

WHEN SHE RECEIVED THE SPIES WITH PEACE. 

AND

 WHAT SHALL I MORE SAY? 

FOR THE TIME WOULD FAIL ME TO TELL OF 

 GEDEON, AND OF BARAK, AND OF SAMSON, 

AND OF JEPHTHAE; OF DAVID ALSO, 

AND SAMUEL, AND THE PROPHETS:WHO

THROUGH FAITH

SUBDUED KINGDOMS, WROUGHT RIGHTEOUSNESS,

 OBTAINED PROMISES, 

STOPPED THE MOUTH OF LIONS.  

QUENCHED 

THE VIOLENCE OF FIRE, 

ESCAPED THE EDGE OF THE SWORD, 

OUT OF WEAKNESS WERE MADE STRONG, 

WAXED VALIANT IN FIGHT, 

TURNED TO FLIGHT 

THE ARMIES OF THE ALIENS.

WOMEN RECEIVED THEIR DEAD RAISED TO LIFE AGAIN.

AND OTHERS WERE TORTURED, NOT ACCEPTING DELIVERANCE;

THAT THEY MIGHT OBTAIN 

A BETTER RESURRECTION.

AND OTHERS HAD TRIAL OF CRUEL MOCKING

 AND SCOURGINGS, YEA, MOREOVER OF 

BONDS AND IMPRISONMENT: 

THEY WERE STONED, THEY WERE SAWN ASUNDER,

WERE TEMPTED, 

WERE SLAIN WITH THE SWORD: THEY WANDERED ABOUT 

in sheepskins and goatskins; 

being destitute, afflicted, tormented;

(OF WHOM THE
 WORLD WAS NOT WORTHY:) 

THEY WANDERED IN THE DESERTS,

AND IN MOUNTAINS, AND IN DENS AND CAVES OF THE EARTH.

AND THESE ALL, HAVING OBTAINED A GOOD REPORT

 THROUGH FAITH, 

RECEIVED NOT THE PROMISE: 

GOD HAVING PROVIDED

SOME BETTER THING FOR US, 

THAT THEY WITHOUT US 

SHOULD NOT BE MADE PERFECT.
