gen 16

Question
Answer
Note


16:1-3 Abram should have known better than to listen to his wife’s suggestion to go into unto Hagar.


Similar to how Adam yielded his authority to the woman, here  is a another patriarch making the same mistake.


16:5 No sooner than Hagar conceived that the results of their error was yielded. And similar to what happened in the garden, the blame is passed to the man.


16:6 Hagar runs away.
What does it mean that everyman’s hand will be against him, and he against every man? Does this mean he will be a man of war, and will always be fighting?

16:12
The fact that Ishmael is described as being wild, does that mean he will be untamed, uncouth or uncivilized? What does it mean to be wild?




16:16 Ismael is born when Abram is 86 years old.
