2019. 'And your seed after you' means conjunction with those who have faith in Him. This is clear from the meaning of 'seed' as faith, dealt with in 1025, 1447, 1610, and also from the meaning of 'after you' as following. In the Word 'walking after someone' is a frequently used phrase, as in Jeremiah 7:6; 8:2; Ezekiel 20:16; also Mark 8:34; Luke 9:23; 14:27. Here therefore 'your seed after you' means those who have faith and who follow Him. In the internal sense they are those born from Him.
