Now to Abraham and his descendant were the promises made. He says not, And to descendants, as of many; but as of one,
And to your descendant
, who is Christ.
All Commentaries on Galatians 3:16 Go To Galatians 3
Jerome
AD 420
Passing my eyes and memory over all the Scriptures, I nowhere find offsprings written in the plural but everywhere the singular, whether in a good sense or a bad…. If anyone carefully collates the Hebrew Scriptures with the [Greek version of the] Seventy, he will find that where testament is written, what is meant is not “testament” but “covenant.” … Whence it is clear that the apostle has done as he promised, not using deeper meanings but everyday ones, and even trivial ones which (if he had not said beforehand “I speak humanly”) might have displeased the intelligent. .
