The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 16:1-16

Hagar. The history of Hagar has its two sides—that which is turned towards God and illustrates Divine grace, that which is turned towards man and illustrates human infirmity and sinfulness. Jehovah brought forth compassionate bestowments of revelation and promise out of his people's errors. Abram and Sarah both sinned. Hagar sinned. The angel of the Lord, representative of the continuous gracious revelation of Jehovah as a covenant God, appeared in the cloud of family sorrow, drawing once... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 16:2

And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained us from bearing . Literally, hath shut me up ( i.e. my womb, Genesis 20:18 ; συνέκλεισέ με, LXX .) from bearing . Her advancing age was rendering this every day more and more apparent. I pray thee go in unto my maid (cf. Genesis 30:3 , Genesis 30:9 ). It is so far satisfactory that the proposal to make a secondary wife of Hagar did not originate with Abram; though, as Sarai's guilt in making it cannot... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 16:3

And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ton years in the land of Canaan ( i.e. in his eighty-fifth, and her seventy-fifth year; a note of time introduced, probably, to account for their impatience in waiting for the promised seed), and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife. Afterwards styled a pilgash or concubine ( Genesis 25:6 ), she is here improperly called a wife quae praeterDei legem is alienum thorum inducitur (Calvin), from whom... read more

Crooked ways, or marrying with Hagar. I. THE SPECIOUS PROPOSAL . 1. The author of it; Sarai, the wife of Abram, a daughter of the faith, the mistress of a household. To the first, the suggestion referred to in the narrative should have been impossible; in the second, it was inconsistent; while, proceeding from the third, it was calculated to be harmful. 2. The wickedness of it. It was 3. The extenuations of it. II. THE SINFUL COMPLIANCE . "Abram hearkened unto... read more

And he went in unto Hagar . בּוֹא אֶל־ , a linguistic peculiarity of the Jehovist, occurring Genesis 29:21 , Genesis 29:30 ; Genesis 30:3 , Genesis 30:4 ; Genesis 38:2 , Genesis 38:9 , Genesis 38:16 (Vaihinger, Davidson); but by some partitionists Genesis 29:1-35 and Genesis 30:1-43 . are assigned to the Elohist (Tuch, Bleek, De Wette).

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 16:5

And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee. Ἀδικοῦμαι ἐκ σοῦ ( LXX . ); indue agis contra me (Vulgate); My injury is upon thee, i.e. thou art the cause of it (Jonathan, Rosenmüller, Ainsworth, Clarke, 'Speaker's Commentary'); or, it belongs to thee as well as to me (Clericus, Bush, Alford); or, perhaps better, May the injury done to me return upon thee! cf. Genesis 27:13 (Keil, Kalisch, Lange, Wordsworth)—the language of passionate irritation, indicating repentance of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 16:6

But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand (regarding her still as one of Sarai's servants, though elevated to the rank of secondary wife to himself); do to her as it pleaseth thee. Literally, the good in thine eyes; in which conduct of the patriarch may be seen perhaps HOMILETICS read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Genesis 16:1-16

- The Birth of Ishmael1. הנר hāgār, Hagar, “flight.” Hejrah, the flight of Muhammed.7. מלאך mal'ak “messenger, angel.” A deputy commissioned to discharge a certain duty for the principal whom he represents. As the most usual task is that of bearing messages, commands, or tidings, he is commonly called a “messenger” ἄγγελος angelos). The word is therefore a term of office, and does not further distinguish the office-bearer than as an intelligent being. Hence, a מלאך mal'ak may be a man... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 16:1

Genesis 16:1. We have here the marriage of Abram to Hagar, who was his secondary wife. Herein though he may be excused, he cannot be justified; for from the beginning it was not so: and when it was so, it seems to have proceeded from an irregular desire to build up their families, for the more speedy peopling of the world. read more
