Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ...be a source of blessing to the nations. But, on the ground that the blessing is to be spiritual, he properly infers that it could not come without faith in God, or, what according to his view was the same thing, faith in Christ; and he therefore says that in this promise the gospel was preached beforehand to Abraham. Paul returns to this subject in Gal. iii. 16 (referring to Gen. xviii. 18 and xxvi. 4, and perhaps to Gen. xvii. 8, 10), in order to make a Messianic argument from the word "seed." The promise, says he, was to Abraham and his seed; and inasmuch as the singular "seed" is used, and not the plural "seeds," the reference must be to the Messiah: "Now, to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed--he says not, And to seeds, as of many, but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ." This argument, however, is not sustained by the Hebrew linguistic usage, or by the connection in Genesis. The Hebrew word in question is always used in the Old Testament in the singular when it means "posterity," and cannot in itself point to an individual person; nor, as we may infer from the constant Old-Testament usage, would it occur to an ancient Hebrew writer that he could make such a reference by the mere use of this singular form, which is in this respect almost exactly equivalent to our word "posterity." Further, in all the passages in Genesis the connection shows that it is the nation Israel that is spoken of; there is no hint of a reference to the Messiah. The apostle seems here to have employed a rabbinical or midrashic method of exegesis, based on the later Hebrew and Jewish-Aramaic use of the word "seed." The later language departed from the Old-Testament usage...
