This is exactly why the saints are NOT under the Law.(the promise of the "seed, Jesus" was pre-law)

You forgot something…
“Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
And hath confirmed the same” [covenant] “to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an
everlasting covenant.”
So the covenant to Abraham was until Jesus: to Jacob through the Law; but to Israel,
through the blessing.
What blessing, you may ask: the everlasting blessing through Jesus Christ.
Have you not understood how the man [iysh] changed Jacob’s name to Israel?
“And Jacob asked him,” [the iysh] “ and said, ‘Tell me I pray your NAME’.
And he [the iysh] said, ‘Why is it that you do ask after my NAME?’ And he
[the iysh] blessed him there.”
So we may infer that the Israeli nation is of Jacob; but the remnant, is of Israel.
