This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
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 - (Gen 21:12). The posterity of Isaac alone shall be accounted as the seed of Abraham, which is the heir of the promises (Rom 9:7).
