By faith Abraham
, when he was tried,
offered up Isaac
: and he that had received the promises offered up
his only begotten son
,

(11.17) “By faith Abraham … offered up Isaac … his only begotten son.” (And this was a good thing? How messed up is that?)
53 How many sons did Abraham have?

18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

23 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.

24 By faith
Moses
, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;

25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

(11.24-27) “Moses … not fearing the wrath of the king”
87 Did Moses fear the king?

28 Through faith
he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

(11.28)
“He kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.”
The Israelites kept the passover and sprinkled blood on doorposts so that God wouldn’t kill their firstborn children (like he did the Egyptians in Exodus 12.29).

29
By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land
: which
the Egyptians
assaying to do
were drowned.

(11.29a)
“By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land.”

(11.29b)
“The Egyptians … were drowned.”
(Exodus 14.27-28)
