¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen{TR adds "and being convinced of"} them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

¹⁵ If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
