Génesis 16:4 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 16:4

And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived
The formality of the marriage being over, he enjoyed her as his wife, and she immediately conceived by him:

and when she saw that she had conceived;
when she perceived that she was with child:

her mistress was despised in her eyes;
she thought herself above her, and treated her as her inferior, with contempt, and reproached her for her barrenness, as Peninnah did Hannah, ( 1 Samuel 1:6 1 Samuel 1:7 ) ; and it was the more ungrateful, as it was at the motion of her mistress that she was given to Abram for wife.

Génesis 16:4 In-Context

2 Entonces Sarai dijo a Abram: He aquí que el SEÑOR me ha impedido tener hijos. Llégate, te ruego, a mi sierva; quizá por medio de ella yo tenga hijos. Y Abram escuchó la voz de Sarai.
3 Y al cabo de diez años de habitar Abram en la tierra de Canaán, Sarai, mujer de Abram, tomó a su sierva Agar la egipcia, y se la dio a su marido Abram por mujer.
4 Y él se llegó a Agar, y ella concibió; y cuando ella vio que había concebido, miraba con desprecio a su señora.
5 Y Sarai dijo a Abram: Recaiga sobre ti mi agravio. Yo entregué a mi sierva en tus brazos; pero cuando ella vio que había concebido, me miró con desprecio. Juzgue el SEÑOR entre tú y yo.
6 Pero Abram dijo a Sarai: Mira, tu sierva está bajo tu poder; haz con ella lo que mejor te parezca. Y Sarai la trató muy mal y ella huyó de su presencia.
