storyline
Sarah gave Hagar to Abraham as his wife
When the LORD told Abram for the first time to leave his home in Ur, Chaldea, and go to the place God had indicated, God promised, "I will make you a great nation.".This sentence implies that Abram will eventually have many descendants. Abram was 75 years old at that time, and his wifesarai At 65, they have no children.
When they arriveCanaan After the earth, God reiterated this promise. In Genesis, God said, "I will also make your descendants as many as the dust on the earth. If people can count the dust on the earth, they can count your descendants."
Ten years later, they still had no children. Sarai was 75 years old at that time. She knew it was overgive birth to a childSo he said to Abram, "The Lord has kept me from bearing children. Please go in with my maid, or I may have children because of her."
Hagar is arrogant because she is pregnant
Abram agreed, and soon the maidXia JiaShe became pregnant.So Hagar became arrogant and began to look down upon Sarai.
Sarah complained to Abraham about Hagar's contempt for her. Abraham said that Sarah was Hagar's mistress and could treat her according to her own wishes.
Hagar Escapes and Meets an Angel
Sarah mistreated Hagar, and Hagar fled from Abraham's house. She met an angel by the spring on the way to Shur in the desert, and asked her to go back and submit to Hagar's hand.
The angel told Hagar about her descendants and their diversity
The angel also told Hagar that she would make her descendants extremely numerous, even countless;He told her to name the child Ishmael.
So Hagar called the LORD who spoke to her "the God who cares for people".So I said: Do I see the one who looks after me here?
So this well is called Beer Lahai.
This well is between Kagos and Bale.
She went back, obeyed Sarah, and gave birth to her son Ishmael.
Abraham was 86 years old when Ishmael was born.(Genesis 16)
Isaac was born
Thirteen years later, when Abram was 99 years old, God appeared to him again and said, "I will make a covenant with you, so that your descendants will be extremely numerous." In order to emphasize this promise, God changed Abram's name to Abraham, meaning "the father of many countries";God also changed Sarai's name toSarah, which means "the mother of many countries"[1]And said, "I will bless her, and I will give you a son from her. I will bless her, and she will be the mother of many nations, and kings of the people will come out of her."
In order to make it clear that Ishmael is not the promised son, God said to Abram in Genesis 17:21, "Sarah will bear youIsaacI will strengthen my covenant with him. "
The next year Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90 years old. Isaac was indeed born.Therefore Sarah said, "God makes me laugh, and everyone who hears will laugh with me." (Genesis 21)
This is the background of Paul's question.Ishmael was born by a servant girl, according to the blood - that is to say, Ishmael was born in the usual way.
Hagar and Ishmael are driven away
Ishmael
When the baby was weaned, Sarah found Ishmael, 14, laughing at Isaac;So she urged Abraham to drive Hagar and her son away.(Genesis 21)[2]
Abraham was upset because of the child, but God and the LORD commanded him to do so, because the son of Isaac will be called your offspring.As for Hagar's son, God also promised that he would establish a nation after Ishmael, because he was born to Abraham.
Early the next morning, Abraham gave Hagar and Ishmael bread and a skin of water, and sent them away.
Hagar plans to return to Egypt, but on the wayDon't be BaWhen she lost her way in the wilderness and ran out of water in her leather bag, she left Ishmael under a small tree. She was an arrow away and sat opposite, saying, "Death for not recognizing the child!"!"Just sit opposite each other and cry loudly.
The angel called from heaven to Hagar not to be afraid. God had heard the voice of the child and asked her to pick up the child, and told Hagar again that the child's descendants would become a great country.
God made her see a well, and Hagar went and filled the skin with water and gave the child a drink.
God blessed the child, and he grew up, lived in the Desert of Paran, and became an archer.Hagar took him an Egyptian wife.
His descendants lived on the east side of his brothers, from Havilah to Shur before Egypt, on the way to Assyria.[4](Genesis 25:12-18)
