Along with his descendants, Isaac and Jacob, (to whom the promises were repeated), he "died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and (they) were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth" (Heb. 11:13).
Pamoja na watoto wake Isaka na Yakobo, (ambao ahadi zilirudiwa kwao), "alikufa katika imani" asijapata ahadi, lakini akiisha kuziona tokea mbali na kuzishangilia, na kukiri kwamba walikuwa wageni na wasafiri juu ya nchi" (Ebra. 11:13).
