The Amplified Bible renders Galatians 3:20 in this way:
“Now a go-between(intermediary) has to do with and implies more than one party( there can be no mediator with just one person). Yet God is(only) one person[ and He was the sole party in giving that promise to Abraham. But the law was a contract between two, God and Israel; its validity was dependant on both].

This seems to make sense as to why Paul inserted this phrase in the letter to the Galatians. The Law has nothing to do with the promise since the promise was made by one….God…and the law that was given by the mediator was not even involved in that promise given long before the law showed up.
