Hebrews 11:28 in Context — Hebrews 11

26 regardant l’opprobre de Christ comme une richesse plus grande que les trésors de l’Égypte, car il avait les yeux fixés sur la rémunération.

27 C’est par la foi qu’il quitta l’Égypte, sans être effrayé de la colère du roi; car il se montra ferme, comme voyant celui qui est invisible.

28 C’est par la foi qu’il fit la Pâque et l’aspersion du sang, afin que l’exterminateur ne touchât pas aux premiers-nés des Israélites.

29 C’est par la foi qu’ils traversèrent la mer Rouge comme un lieu sec, tandis que les Égyptiens qui en firent la tentative furent engloutis.

30 C’est par la foi que les murailles de Jéricho tombèrent, après qu’on en eut fait le tour pendant sept jours.
