Genesis 16

Studie

   

1 Si Sarai nga na asawa ni Abram ay hindi nagkaanak sa kaniya; at siya'y may isang alilang babae na taga Egipto, na nagngangalang Agar.

2 At sinabi ni Sarai kay Abram, Narito, ngayon, ako'y hinadlangan ng Panginoon na ako'y magkaanak; ipinamamanhik ko sa iyong sumiping ka sa aking alilang babae; marahil ay magkakaanak ako sa pamamagitan niya. At dininig ni Abram ang sabi ni Sarai.

3 At kinuha ni Sarai na asawa ni Abram, si Agar na taga Egipto, na kaniyang alila, pagkaraan ng sangpung taon na makatahan si Abram sa lupain ng Canaan, at ibinigay kay Abram na kaniyang asawa upang maging asawa niya.

4 At siya'y sumiping kay Agar, at naglihi: at nang makita niyang siya'y naglihi, ay niwalang halaga niya ang kaniyang panginoong babae sa kaniyang paningin.

5 At sinabi ni Sarai kay Abram, Ang aking pagkaapi ay sumaiyo: idinulot ko ang aking alila sa iyong sinapupunan; at nang makita niyang siya'y naglihi, ay niwalan akong kabuluhan sa kaniyang paningin: ang Panginoon ang humatol sa akin at sa iyo.

6 Datapuwa't sinabi ni Abram kay Sarai, Narito, ang iyong alila ay nasa iyong kamay; gawin mo sa kaniya ang iyong minamagaling sa iyong paningin. At dinuwahagi siya ni Sarai, at si Agar ay tumakas mula sa kaniyang harap.

7 At nasumpungan siya ng anghel ng Panginoon sa tabi ng isang bukal ng tubig sa ilang, sa bukal na nasa daang patungo sa Shur.

8 At sinabi, Agar, alila ni Sarai, saan ka nanggaling? at saan ka paroroon? at kaniyang sinabi, Ako'y tumatakas mula sa harap ni Sarai na aking panginoon.

9 At sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel ng Panginoon, Magbalik ka sa iyong panginoon, at pahinuhod ka sa kaniyang mga kamay.

10 At sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel ng Panginoon, Pararamihin kong mainam ang iyong binhi, na hindi mabibilang dahil sa karamihan.

11 At sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel ng Panginoon, Narito't ikaw ay nagdadalang-tao at ikaw ay manganganak ng isang lalake; at ang itatawag mo sa kaniyang ngalan ay Ismael, sapagka't diningig ng Panginoon ang iyong kadalamhatian.

12 At siya'y magiging parang asnong bundok sa gitna ng mga tao; ang kaniyang kamay ay magiging laban sa lahat, at ang kamay ng lahat ay laban sa kaniya; at siya'y tatahan sa harap ng lahat niyang mga kapatid.

13 At kaniyang tinawagan ang ngalan ng Panginoon na nagsalita sa kaniya, Ikaw ay Dios na nakakakita: sapagka't sinabi niya, Namasdan ko rin ba rito ang likuran niyaong nakakakita sa akin?

14 Kaya't nginalanan ang balong yaon Balon ng Nabubuhay na nakakakita sa akin; narito't ito'y nasa pagitan ng Cades at Bered.

15 At nanganak si Agar ng isang lalake kay Abram at ang itinawag ni Abram, na pangalan sa kaniyang anak na ipinanganak ni Agar, ay Ismael.

16 At si Abram ay may walong pu't anim na taon nang ipanganak si Ismael ni Agar kay Abram.

Exploring the Meaning of Genesis 16

Napsal(a) New Christian Bible Study Staff

Here are some excerpts from Swedenborg's "Arcana Coelestia" that help explain the inner meaning of this chapter:

AC 1890. The subject treated of in this chapter is the Lord’s first rational, which was conceived by the influx of the internal man into the affection of memory-knowledges (scientiae) of the external. The internal man is "Abram;" the affection of memory-knowledges in the external is "Hagar the Egyptian handmaid;" the rational thence derived is "Ishmael." The nature of this rational is here described; and it is afterwards said (chapter 21); that it was expelled from the house, after the Lord‘s Divine rational, represented by Isaac, had been born.

AC 1891. The Lord’s first rational was conceived according to order by the influx or conjunction of the internal man with the life of the affection of memory-knowledges belonging to the external (verses 1 to 3). But as this affection was of the external man, its nature was such that it held intellectual truth in low esteem (verse 4). On which account the Lord thought concerning the subjugation of it (verses 5 to 9), and that when subjugated, it would become spiritual and celestial (verses 10, 11). What it would be if not subjugated, is described (verse 12); the Lord‘s insight into the cause from His interior man (verses 13, 14). The rational is thus described in respect to its quality; also the Lord’s state when it originated (verses 15, 16).

1890. Genesis 16

1. And Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no child. And she had an Egyptian servant-girl, and her name was Hagar.

2. And Sarai said to Abram, Behold, now, Jehovah has prevented me from bearing; go in now to my servant-girl; perhaps I shall be built up from her; and Abram hearkened to Sarai's voice.

3. And Sarai, Abram's wife (uxor), took Hagar her Egyptian servant-girl, after Abram had been dwelling ten years in the land of Canaan, and she gave her to Abram her husband (vir) as his wife (mulier).

4. And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And she saw that she had conceived, and her mistress was despised in her eyes.

5. And Sarai said to Abram, May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my servant-girl into your bosom, and she saw that she had conceived, and I am despised in her eyes. May Jehovah judge between me and you!

6. And Abram said to Sarai, Behold, your servant-girl is in your hand; do to her what is good in your eyes. And Sarai humiliated her, and she fled from her face.

7. And the angel of Jehovah found her near a spring of water in the desert, near the spring on the road to Shur.

8. And he said, Hagar, Sarai's servant-girl, where are you coming from, and where are you going? And she said, From the face of Sarai my mistress I am fleeing.

9. And the angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to your mistress and humble yourself beneath her hands.

10. And the angel of Jehovah said to her, I will multiply your seed greatly and it will not be numbered for multitude.

11. And the angel of Jehovah said to her, Behold, you are with child, and you will bear a son, and you will call his name Ishmael because Jehovah has hearkened to your affliction.

12. And he will be a wild-ass man; his hand will be against all, and the hand of all against him; and he will dwell in opposition to 1 all his brothers.

13. And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, You are a God who sees me; for she said, Have I not also here seen after Him who sees me?

14. Therefore she called the spring, The spring of the Living One who sees me; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bared.

15. And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

16. And Abram was a son of eighty-six years when Hagar bore Ishmael for Abram.

CONTENTS

The subject in this chapter is the first rational with the Lord which was conceived from the influx of the Internal Man into the External Man's affection for knowledge. The Internal Man is Abram, while the External Man's affection for knowledge is Hagar the Egyptian servant-girl; and the rational born from these two is Ishmael. The nature of this rational is described, and further on, in Chapter 21, it is said that it was 'driven out of the house' after the Lord's Divine Rational represented by Isaac had been born.
