The Faith of the Hebrews and the Connection to Old Testament Stories

The Hebrews living at that time had active faith and believed in the promises passed down through the story of Abraham. Those with circumcised hearts believed in the promise of God raising up the seat of the woman and trusted in God's deliverance. The story of Moses being saved through waters of judgment mirrors the story of Noah being saved through the flood, indicating a pattern of God's salvation. Moses' mother's action of building an ark for him reflects her informed hope in the Lord's intervention through her child, drawing parallels to Noah's ark. This suggests a deep connection and faith in the Old Testament stories among the Hebrews.
