hebrews 11:18 [it was he] to whom it was said, "In Isaac your descendants shall be called."

< Hebrews 11:16
Hebrews 11:18 >

      18. Of whom--rather as Greek "He (Abraham, not Isaac) TO whom it was said" [ALFORD]. BENGEL supports English Version. So Heb 1:7 uses the same Greek preposition, "unto," for "in respect to," or "of." This verse gives a definition of the "only-begotten Son" (Heb 11:17).
      in Isaac shall thy seed be called-- (Ge 21:12). The posterity of Isaac alone shall be accounted as the seed of Abraham, which is the heir of the promises (Ro 9:7).
