The promise was twofold.

I. A LOWER OR TEMPORAL blessing:

II. A HIGHER OR SPIRITUAL blessing.

III. THE TWO ARE INTERMINGLED. The spiritual could not have come without the temporal, nor the temporal without the spiritual.

(Christian Age.)The promise was fulfilled in the benefits the world has received from —

I. The industry, wealth, genius, and morality of the JEWISH PEOPLE.

II. The SCRIPTURES, the monotheism and religious spirit of the Jews.

III. The MESSIAH who was Abraham's seed.

(Todd.)

KJV: Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

WEB: Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn't say, "To seeds," as of many, but as of one, "To your seed," which is Christ.
