Hebrews 11:10-12
Good News Translation
10 For Abraham was waiting for the city which God has designed and built, the city with permanent foundations.

He[a] trusted God to keep his promise. 12 (B)Though Abraham was practically dead, from this one man came as many descendants as there are stars in the sky, as many as the numberless grains of sand on the seashore.
