12 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

Israel, the people and the land, in the Christian Era by Lewis H. Clementson, J.D.
The only verse in this passage that could possibly be stretched to include the nation Israel is “And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed”.
Without a doubt, all families of the earth have been blessed by Jesus, who was “in” Abram at the time as his seed. (Matt. 1:1, Rom. 1:3) The verse is stating a fact, that in Abram all the families of the earth would be blessed. They certainly were. It does not bestow an additional blessing. If one wants to find an additional blessing, then he must look elsewhere.
Therefore, God would bless those who bless Abraham and curse those who curse Abraham. The one man.
This fact was born out in his life story. If anyone was blessed in his life, it was Abraham. But the same cannot be said of the nation of Israel. For instance, after the original nation split into the two nations, Israel and Judah, after Solomon’s death, the nation of Israel did not have a single righteous king, not one. They went from one fierce judgment to the next.
The fact that the Abrahamic blessing was on the man and not the nation was of such paramount significance that Paul addressed it directly in Gal. 3:13-16,18, 26-29. Look closely at Paul’s words:
“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith… 16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ… 18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise… 26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise
