老人也敬拜神嗎?
雅各因著信,臨死的時候,給約瑟的兩個兒子各自祝福,扶著杖頭敬拜神。By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.(希伯來書 Hebrews 11:21)

以撒因著信,就指著將來的事給雅各、以掃祝福。By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.(希伯來書 Hebrews 11:20)
這些人都是存著信心死的,並沒有得著所應許的;卻從遠處望見,且歡喜迎接,又承認自己在世上是客旅,是寄居的。說這樣話的人是表明自己要找一個家鄉。他們若想念所離開的家鄉,還有可以回去的機會。他們卻羨慕一個更美的家鄉,就是在天上的。所以神被稱為他們的神,並不以為恥,因為他已經給他們預備了一座城。All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on…
亞伯拉罕因著信,被試驗的時候,就把以撒獻上;這便是那歡喜領受應許的,將自己獨生的兒子獻上。論到這兒子,曾有話說:「從以撒生的才要稱為你的後裔。」他以為神還能叫人從死裡復活;他也彷彿從死中得回他的兒子來。By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son; it was he to whom it…
因著信,連撒拉自己雖然過了生育的歲數,還能懷孕,因他以為那應許他的是可信的。所以從一個彷彿已死的人就生出子孫,如同天上的星那樣眾多,海邊的沙那樣無數。 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise. And so from this one man, and…
他因著信,就在所應許之地作客,好像在異地居住帳棚,與那同蒙一個應許的以撒、雅各一樣。因為他等候那座有根基的城,就是神所經營所建造的。By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise;…
亞伯拉罕因著信,蒙召的時候就遵命出去,往將來要得為業的地方去… 他因著信,就在所應許之地作客,好像在異地居住帳棚… 因著信,連撒拉自己,雖然過了生育的歲數,還能懷孕,因他以為那應許他的是可信的… 亞伯拉罕因著信,被試驗的時候,就把以撒獻上… (來11:8-19)
日頭剛出的時候,雅各經過毘努伊勒,他的大腿就瘸了。 Now the sun rose upon him just as he crossed over Penuel, and he was limping on his thigh. (創 Gen. 32:31)
那時,摩西和以色列人向耶和華唱歌說: 我要向耶和華歌唱,因他大大戰勝; 將馬和騎馬的,投在海中。 耶和華是我的力量我的詩歌; 也成了我的拯救。 這是我的神,我要讚美他; 是我父親的神,我要尊崇他。(出15:1-2)
