'Descendants' in the Bible

just as He spoke to our ancestors,to Abraham and his descendants forever.

“We are descendants of Abraham,” they answered Him, “and we have never been enslaved to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will become free’?”

I know you are descendants of Abraham, but you are trying to kill Me because My word is not welcome among you.

Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn an oath to him to seat one of his descendants on his throne.

He didn’t give him an inheritance in it, not even a foot of ground, but He promised to give it to him as a possession, and to his descendants after him, even though he was childless.

God spoke in this way:His descendants would be strangersin a foreign country,and they would enslaveand oppress them 400 years.

“From this man’s descendants, according to the promise, God brought the Savior, Jesus, to Israel.

For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would inherit the world was not through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

This is why the promise is by faith, so that it may be according to grace, to guarantee it to all the descendants—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of Abraham’s faith. He is the father of us all

He believed, hoping against hope, so that he became the father of many nations according to what had been spoken: So will your descendants be.

Neither are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants. On the contrary, your offspring will be traced through Isaac.
