chapter eleven
1faith however is the confidence of the things, on which one hopes, an (evidential) conviction of things, which one sees not. 2because by the this have the ancestors received a testimony. 3by faith are we perceive, that the worlds are made become by the Word of Hashem, so, that what it becomes seen is not made become of that, which appears. 4by faith has Hevel (Abel) offer was a better sacrifice to Hashem than Cain, through which (faith) he has maintained a witness, that he is a tsaddik, when Hashem has witness said to his gifts; and through which although he is died speaks he yet still. 5by faith is Chanokh/Enoch taken away become, that he shall not see the death, and is not found become, because Hashem has him taken away; because before he is taken away become, has he received the witness, that he was well pleasing to Hashem; 6without faith however is not possible Him to please; because the one, who come near himself to Hashem must believe, that He is, and that He will be a bestower of reward to the (one), who seeks Him. 7by faith has Noah, when he is warned become of Hashem about the things, which they has yet not seen, with fearer of heaven built an ark to save his household; by which he has condemned the world and is become a heir of the righteousness, which is of faith. 8by faith has Abraham obeyed, when he is called become, to go out to a place, which he was about to receive for an inheritance; and is went out, not knowing, where he goes. 9by faith has he himself sojourned in the land of the promise as a stranger in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise; 10because he has hoped on the city, that has firm foundations, whose architect and builder is Hashem. 11by faith has also Sarah received the power pregnant to become and to bear, although she has already had attained a depth of old age, because she has deemed, that the One, who has promised, is faithful; 12as result coming out are also from one, already almost a dead, born become so many, as the mass of stars of heaven and as the sand by the shore sea—not to the counting. (Genesis 22, 17.) 13they all are died in faith and have not received the promises, but only they seen from a distance, and self rejoiced with them, and have confess was, that they (themselves) are strangers and wanderers on the earth. 14because the (ones), who say such (things), make clear, that they seek a home land. 15and would they in mind had that land, from which they are gone out, would they had enough opportunity themselves to return. 16they desire however now a better, that means a heavenly (land); on account of which Hashem (are) ashamed Himself not with them, called to be their G-d; because He has prepared for them a city.
17by faith has Abraham offer was Isaac, when he is put to the test become; the one, who had received the promises, has brought to (the akedah) his son only; 18to whom it is said become: in Isaac will you (SG) called be seed; 19reckoning, that Hashem is able him to wake up also from the dead; from where he has him really received back in the way of parable. 20by faith has also Isaac blessed (them) Jacob and Esav about future things. 21by faith has Jacob near dying blessed each of Joseph's sons, and himself worship, (leaning) on the top of his staff (Targum HaShevim). 22by faith did Joseph near dying reminded the children Israel of their going out (from Egypt); and them gave directive about his bones.
23by faith is Moses hid become of his parents three months long, because they have seen, that he is a fair child, and have self not afraid before the king's order. 24by faith has Moses, when he is great become, himself refuse to be called Pharaoh's daughter's son, 25choosing a many rather to to suffer with Hashem's people, than a enjoyment to have on a certain time of the pleasure of sin, 26considering the shame of the Moshiach for a greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, because he has looked on the reward recompense. 27by faith has he left Egypt, not fearing himself before the king's fury; because he has himself strengthened, as he would see him, whose face they can not see. 28by faith has he made the Pesach and the sprinkling the blood, so that the destroyer of the the firstborn shall them not touch. 29by faith are they pass through the Yam Suf (Red Sea), as on dry ground, which the Egyptians did attempt and are drown become. 30by faith are the walls of Yericho fell, after that as it has them encircled seven days. 31by faith is Rachab the prostitute not perish with the unbelievers, because she had welcomed the spies in peace. 32and what more shall I say? because it will me lacking time to tell about Gid'on, Barak, Shimshon, Yiftach, David and Samuel and the prophets; 33who have by faith conquered kingdoms, done righteousness, obtained promises, stopped up the mouths of lions, 34quenched the strength of fire, escaped from the edge of the sword, strong became from weakness, became warriors in war, made foreign armies flee. 35women have received back their dead by resurrection of the dead ones; and others are tormented become, not accepting any release, so that they should obtain a better resurrection of the dead ones; 36and others are put to the test become through mockery and flogging and even through chains and prison; 37they are stoned to death become, put to the test become, sawed through become, died the death of the sword, walking about in sheep and in goats skin, were in need, oppressed, evil treated, 38who the world is them not worthy was; they have wandered in deserts: and on mountains, in caves and in the holes of the ground. 39and they all, whom it is given become a witness by faith, have not received did the promise, 40because Hashem has foreseen something better things for us, so that they should not to be perfected without us.
