Hebrews 11:13

Hebrews 11:13. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

"These all"- Paul means Abraham, and Sarah, and Isaac, and Jacob," died in faith." They "embraced" the promises,- threw their arms round them,- hugged them to their hearts,- embraced them as those who dearly loved them.
