Moses said to the people,“ Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today; for you will never again see the Egyptians whom you have seen today.Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.”

We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.You are my King, God. Command victories for Jacob!Through you, will we push down our adversaries. Through your name, we will tread down those who rise up against us.For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.

Besides hope, Abraham in hope believed, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken,“ So will your offspring be.”Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out,( he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.Therefore it also was“ credited to him for righteousness.”

Israel saw the great work which Yahweh did to the Egyptians, and the people feared Yahweh; and they believed in Yahweh and in his servant Moses.

By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went.By faith, he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.For he looked for the city which has the foundations, whose builder and maker is God.By faith, even Sarah herself received power to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised.Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his one and only son,to whom it was said,“ Your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac,”concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.By faith, Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.By faith, Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.By faith, Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,choosing rather to share ill treatment with God’s people than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time,considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.By faith, he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encircled for seven days.By faith, Rahab the prostitute didn’t perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets,

He believed in Yahweh, who credited it to him for righteousness.

Samuel took a suckling lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt offering to Yahweh. Samuel cried to Yahweh for Israel; and Yahweh answered him.As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines came near to battle against Israel; but Yahweh thundered with a great thunder on that day on the Philistines, and confused them; and they were struck down before Israel.The men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and struck them, until they came under Beth Kar.Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying,“ Yahweh helped us until now.”

He said,“ Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”

Jacob said,“ God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Yahweh, who said to me,‘ Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I crossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and strike me and the mothers with the children.You said,‘ I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which can’t be counted because there are so many.’”
