Hebrews 11:17-19

New Revised Standard NRS

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,

18 of whom he had been told, "It is through Isaac that descendants shall be named for you."

19 He considered the fact that God is able even to raise someone from the dead—and figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.

New International Version NIV

17 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son,

18 even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”

19 Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.
