17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered Isaac. The man who had received the promises was about to offer his unique son,

18 about whom it had been said, "It is through Isaac that descendants will be named for you."

19 He was certain that God could raise people from the dead, and figuratively speaking he did get him back in this way.

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.
