In context
15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.
16 Instead, they were longing for a better country, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.
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.”
19 Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death.
