2 | Relation to Galatians 3:16... | Gen 17:7 | Gal3:16 | 105575 | ||
Thank you all for your responses. I am puzzled over the fact that most English translations of this verse replace the word "seed" (singular) with "descendants" (plural). Even though the KJV gets the plurality of the word "seed" right, it would seem that the word "their" that follows makes it plural again. Any thoughts? | ||||||

Hi Gal5:16, Are you still 5:16 or are you changing your name? The word translated "descendents" is literally "seed". I believe personally that it is that way so that there could be the duality of the promises. Abraham certainly had descendents plural. But the Seed that was promised was the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galatians 3:14 The Jews were looking for or should have been looking for the Son of David, the Son of Abraham, the Son of God. In other words, they were looking for the promised Messiah.

P.S. Galatians 3:28, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to (Christ), then you are Abraham's offspring [lit. seed], heirs according to promise." From the heart, Ray |
