Hebrews 11:19

¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac on the altar. He who had received the promises was ready to offer his one and only son,

¹⁸ even though God had said to him, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”

Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death.

²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning the future.

²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
