Hebrews 11:8

The Faith of Abraham and Sarah

7By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in godly fear built an ark to save his family. By faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.8By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, without knowing where he was going.9By faith he dwelt in the promised land as a stranger in a foreign country. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.
