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 Pela fé Abraão, quando Deus o pôs à prova, ofereceu Isaque como sacrifício. Aquele que havia recebido as promessas estava a ponto de sacrificar o seu único filho,

18 embora Deus lhe tivesse dito: "Por meio de Isaque a sua descendência será considerada".

19 Abraão levou em conta que Deus pode ressuscitar os mortos; e, figuradamente, recebeu Isaque de volta dentre os mortos.
