6 아브람이 사래에게 이르되 `그대의 여종은 그대의 수중에 있으니 그대의 눈에 좋은대로 그에게 행하라' 하매 사래가 하갈을 학대하였더니 하갈이 사래의 앞에서 도망하였더라

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.
