Hebrews 11:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 So it was that there came forth from one man, himself as good as dead, descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sands on the seashore.(A)
13 All these died in faith. They did not receive what had been promised but saw it and greeted it from afar and acknowledged themselves to be strangers and aliens on earth,(B) 14 for those who speak thus show that they are seeking a homeland.
