What this means is left to our imagination beating servants was commonplace, but Hagar was pregnant with a child that Sarai wanted, and she would not have risked inducing a miscarriage. But her pridefulness is ill-conceived, because Abram takes Sarai’s side and she “deals harshly” with Hagar. Once Hagar is pregnant, she now has something on Sarai because she is the mother of Abram’s child, and she lords it over Sarai. Still, God has not forbidden it.Īnd as always, when we have two women and one man (or vice versa), drama ensues. Abram is making a subtle mistake here for God has promised him a son by his wife, so the business with Hagar is unnecessary.
Possibly the only unrighteousness known to Abram is what would become the First Commandment, the most basic law of God to worship Him as God, and no other.Ī few years after they have returned from Egypt - we really have no way of knowing what “ten years” means - Hagar, an Egyptian girl they had brought with them, becomes the first surrogate mother. What God wants him to do, He tells him directly. “I would not have known sin except through the law.” ( Romans 7:7) Abram lives under an ancient relationship with God, just as Adam did. Remember Paul’s long discussion of sin and the law in Romans, e.g. It is quite a jolt when Sarai suggests that Abram commit adultery - and he does it! Yet again, we see how old the text is, because the ten commandments had not yet been handed down. This history recounts the life of one of the holiest and most revered patriarchs, Abraham, a man of God. May the Lord judge between you and me!”īut Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your servant is in your power do to her as you please.” Then Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her. And Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my servant to your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked on me with contempt. And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived.Īnd when she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress. So, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, and gave her to Abram her husband as a wife. Go in to my servant it may be that I shall obtain children by her.”Īnd Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. And Sarai said to Abram, “Behold now, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children. She had a female Egyptian servant whose name was Hagar. Ow Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children.
