* By faith Abraham , when he was called (5746 ) to go out (5629 ) into a place which he should after (5707 ) receive (5721 ) for an inheritance , obeyed (5656 ); and he went out (5627 ), not knowing (5740 ) whither he went (5736 ). * By faith he sojourned (5656 ) in the land of promise , as in a strange country , dwelling (5660 ) in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob , the heirs with him of the same promise : * For he looked for (5711 ) a city which hath (5723 ) foundations , whose builder and maker is God . * Through faith also Sara herself received (5627 ) strength to conceive seed , and was delivered of a child (5627 ) when she was past age , because she judged (5662 ) him faithful who had promised (5666 ). * Therefore sprang there (5681 ) even of one , and him as good as dead (5772 ), so many as the stars of the sky in multitude , and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable . * These all died (5627 ) in faith , not having received (5631 ) the promises , but having seen (5631 ) them afar off , and were persuaded of (5685 ) them , and embraced (5666 ) them , and confessed (5660 ) that they were (5748 ) strangers and pilgrims on the earth . * For they that say (5723 ) such things declare plainly (5719 ) that they seek (5719 ) a country . * And truly , if they had been mindful (5707 ) of that country from whence they came out (5627 ), they might have had (5707 ) opportunity to have returned (5658 ). * But now they desire (5734 ) a better country , that is (5748 ), an heavenly : wherefore God is not ashamed (5736 ) to be called (5745 ) their God : for he hath prepared (5656 ) for them a city .
