Analysis & Commentary
'And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.' The promise of offspring (zera - seed) continues Abraham's promise. 'My mountains' are Judah's highlands; 'mine elect' and 'my servants' will inherit. Faithful remnant receives the land promise.
