Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hebrews 11:18

_ _ Of whom — rather as Greek “He (Abraham, not Isaac) TO whom it was said” [Alford]. Bengel supports English Version. So Hebrews 1:7 uses the same Greek preposition, “unto,” for “in respect to,” or “of.” This verse gives a definition of the “only-begotten Son” (Hebrews 11:17).

_ _ in Isaac shall thy seed be called — (Genesis 21:12). The posterity of Isaac alone shall be accounted as the seed of Abraham, which is the heir of the promises (Romans 9:7).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hebrews 11:4-31.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hebrews 11:18

In Isaac shall thy seed be called — From him shall the blessed seed spring. Genesis 21:12.
