16. ದೇವರು ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನಿಗೂ ಅವನ ಸಂತತಿಗೂ ವಾಗ್ದಾನಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿದನು; ಆತನು--ನಿನ್ನ ಸಂತತಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿ ಅನೇಕರನ್ನು ಸೂಚಿಸದೆ--ನಿನ್ನ ಸಂತತಿಗೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿ ಒಬ್ಬನನ್ನೇ ಸೂಚಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಆ ಒಬ್ಬಾತನು ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನೇ.

ERVKN
16. ದೇವರು ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನಿಗೂ ಅವನ ಸಂತಾನದವರಿಗೂ ವಾಗ್ದಾನಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿದನು. “ನಿನ್ನ ಸಂತತಿಗಳಿಗೆ” ಎಂದು ದೇವರು ಹೇಳಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಅನೇಕ ಜನರು ಎಂಬರ್ಥವನ್ನು ಅದು ಕೊಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಆದರೆ ದೇವರು ಅವನಿಗೆ, “ನಿನ್ನ ಸಂತತಿಗೆ” [*ನಿನ್ನ ಸಂತತಿಗೆ ನೋಡಿರಿ: ಆದಿಕಾಂಡ 12:7.] ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು. ಅದರರ್ಥವೇನೆಂದರೆ, ಒಬ್ಬನೇ ಒಬ್ಬ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ. ಆತನೇ ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನು.

IRVKN
16. ಹಾಗೆಯೇ, [‡ ರೋಮಾ. 4:13, 16; ಲೂಕ 1:55; ಅ. ಕೃ. 13:32] ದೇವರು ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನಿಗೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅವನಿಂದ ಬರುವ ಪೀಳಿಗೆಗೆ ವಾಗ್ದಾನ ಮಾಡಿದನು. ಆದರೆ “ಪೀಳಿಗೆ” ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದಾಗ, ಅದು ವಂಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಇರುವ ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಅನ್ವಯಿಸದೇ, ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನ ವಂಶಕ್ಕೆ ಸೇರಿದ ಒಬ್ಬ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನೇ ಸೂಚಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. [§ ಆದಿ 12:7; 13:15; 17:7,8; 22:18] ಆ ಒಬ್ಬನು ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನೇ.
