Hebreerne 11,23

21 Ved tro velsignet Jakob, da han var døende, hver av Josefs sønner, og tilba mens han lente seg over hodet på sin stav.

22 Ved tro talte Josef, nær slutten av sitt liv, om israelittenes utgang og ga instruksjoner om sine ben.

Ved tro ble Moses, da han ble født, skjult i tre måneder av sine foreldre, fordi de så at han var et spesielt barn, og de fryktet ikke kongens befaling.

24 Ved tro nektet Moses, da han var blitt voksen, å bli kalt sønn av faraos datter.

25 Han valgte heller å tåle mishandling med Guds folk enn å nyte syndens flyktige gleder.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
