Genesi 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.

Genesi 16:4 In-Context

2 ed avendo una serva egizia, nominata Agar, disse ad Abramo: Ecco, ora il Signore mi ha fatta sterile, tal che non posso far figliuoli; deh! entra dalla mia serva; forse avrò progenie da lei. Ed Abramo acconsentì alla voce di Sarai.
3 Sarai adunque, moglie di Abramo, prese Agar egizia, sua serva, dopo che Abramo fu abitato nel paese di Canaan lo spazio di dieci anni, e la diede ad Abramo suo marito, da essergli per moglie.
4 Ed egli entrò da lei, ed ella concepette; e, veggendo che avea conceputo, sprezzò la sua padrona.
5 E Sarai disse ad Abramo: L’ingiuria ch’è fatta a me è sopra te; io ti ho data la mia serva in seno; ed ella, veggendo che ha conceputo, mi sprezza; il Signore giudichi fra me e te.
6 Ed Abramo rispose a Sarai: Ecco, la tua serva è in mano tua; falle come ti piacerà. Sarai adunque l’afflisse; laonde ella se ne fuggì dal suo cospetto.
