The Covenant of Abraham was reborn in Christ; He wasn't merely the fulfillment of Moses, but of the promises of Abraham. And the Covenant of Abraham was a covenant of faith, not law. Moses was just a passage for faith. Abraham had more than one son, so having his DNA was not the basis of the promises. It was on the basis of election activated by faith.
This makes one want to look back and dig into Abraham a bit more to get a feel of the foreshadowing.
