Gênesis 21:18 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 21:18

Arise, lift up the lad
She had set herself down at some distance, and now she is bid to rise up and go to the place where she had left her son, and raise aim up from the ground, on which he lay along:

and hold him in thine hand:
or take hold on him with thine hand, and hold him up with it, he being so weak that he could not sit up without being supported:

for I will make him a great nation:
which is a renewal of a promise before made both to her and to Abraham, ( Genesis 16:10 ) ( 17:20 ) ( 21:13 ) ; and by this Hagar is assured that he would recover and live, and become a man and the father of children, who in time would become a great nation; (See Gill on Genesis 16:10), (See Gill on Genesis 17:20), (See Gill on Genesis 21:13), this shows that the Angel of God here speaking is God himself, or a divine Person, since none but he could make him a great nation.

Gênesis 21:18 In-Context

16 e foi assentar-se em frente dele, a boa distância, como a de um tiro de arco; porque dizia: Que não veja eu morrer o menino. Assim sentada em frente dele, levantou a sua voz e chorou.
17 Mas Deus ouviu a voz do menino; e o anjo de Deus, bradando a Agar desde o céu, disse-lhe: Que tens, Agar? não temas, porque Deus ouviu a voz do menino desde o lugar onde está.
18 Ergue-te, levanta o menino e toma-o pela mão, porque dele farei uma grande nação.
19 E abriu-lhe Deus os olhos, e ela viu um poço; e foi encher de água o odre e deu de beber ao menino.
20 Deus estava com o menino, que cresceu e, morando no deserto, tornou-se flecheiro.
