• Gen 12:3 . . And I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses
you I will curse.
The promise above does not apply to all of Abraham's posterity. I know
that's true because the convent that Abraham's people agreed upon under
oath with God per Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy specifies a
number of curses upon them for non compliance. (The curses are on public
display at Ex 34:6-7, Lev 26:3-38, Deut 27:15-26 & Deut 28:1-69)
God dare not enforce those curses in concert with Gen 12:3 for the simple
reason that were God to curse Abram, for any reason, any at all; He would
have to level a curse right back at Himself.
Abraham is exempt from the curses catalogued in the covenant primarily
because he wasn't included in it, viz: that covenant wasn't his agreement
with God, rather, it's his posterity's agreement. (Deut 5:2-3 & Gal 3:17)
