17 In faith offered up Abraham the Isaac being tried, and the onlybegotten was offering up he the promise having received,

18 to whom it was said: That in Isaac shall be called to thee a seed;

19 inferring, that even out of dead ones to raise up is able the God; whence him also in a similitude he recovered.

17 By faith Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. He that had gladly received the promises was offering up his only-begotten son!

18 It was said: »In Isaac your descendants will be called.«

19 Abraham reasoned that God is able to raise him from the dead. So he figured he would receive him back.
