17 By faith Abraham made an offering of Isaac, when he was tested: and he with whom the agreement had been made gave up as an offering the only son of his body,

18 Of whom it had been said, From Isaac will your seed take their name:

19 Judging that God was able to give life even to the dead; and because of this he did get him back as if from death.

17 Par la foi, Abraham offrit Isaac, lorsqu'il fut éprouvé, et lui qui avait reçu les promesses, offrit son seul fils engendré,

18 Dont il avait été dit: C'est en Isaac que ta postérité sera appelée;

19 Ayant pensé en lui-même, que Dieu pouvait même le ressusciter des morts; aussi le retrouva-t-il dans cette préfiguration de la résurrection.
