2 사래가 아브람에게 이르되 `여호와께서 나의 생산을 허락지 아니하셨으니 원컨대 나의 여종과 동침하라 내가 혹 그로 말미암아 자녀를 얻을까 하노라' 하매 아브람이 사래의 말을 들으니라

1908. Verse 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, 'He went in to Hagar' means the joining of the internal man to the life of the affection for knowledge. 'And she conceived' means the initial life of the rational. 'And she saw that she had conceived, and her mistress was despised in her eyes' means that this rational at its conception despised truth itself that was allied to good.
