27When the boys grew up, Esau was aa skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, bdwelling in tents.2 Samuel 7:2
2the king said to cNathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell din a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells ein a tent.”Jeremiah 35:7
7You shall not build a house; you shall not sow seed; you shall not plant or have a vineyard; but you shall live in tents all your days, fthat you may live many days in the land where you sojourn.’Hebrews 11:9-13
9By faith he went to live in gthe land of promise, as in a foreign land, hliving in tents iwith Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. 10For he was looking forward to jthe city that has kfoundations, lwhose designer and builder is God. 11By faith mSarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered nhim faithful who had promised. 12Therefore from one man, and ohim as good as dead, were born descendants pas many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.13These all died in faith, qnot having received the things promised, but rhaving seen them and greeted them from afar, and shaving acknowledged that they were tstrangers and exiles on the earth.
