Ebrei 11:18 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 11:18

Of whom it is said
That is, of Isaac, Abraham's own son, whom he offered up; or rather, "to whom it was said", as the Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions render it; that is, to Abraham, for to him was this said, ( Genesis 21:12 )

that in Isaac shall thy seed be called;
that numerous natural seed of his, which should inherit the land of Canaan; and his special famous seed, the Messiah, to whom the promises were made; (See Gill on Romans 9:7).

Ebrei 11:18 In-Context

16 Ma ora ne desiderano una migliore, cioè una celeste; perciò Iddio non si vergogna d’esser chiamato il loro Dio, poiché ha preparato loro una città.
17 Per fede Abramo, quando fu provato, offerse Isacco; ed egli, che avea ricevuto le promesse, offerse il suo unigenito: egli, a cui era stato detto:
18 E’ in Isacco che ti sarà chiamata una progenie,
19 ritenendo che Dio è potente anche da far risuscitare dai morti; ond’è che lo riebbe per una specie di risurrezione.
20 Per fede Isacco diede a Giacobbe e ad Esaù una benedizione concernente cose future.
