Listen to Génesis 16:3
3 Entonces Sarai, la esposa de Abram, tom贸 a Agar, la sierva egipcia, y la entreg贸 a Abram como mujer. (Esto ocurri贸 diez a帽os despu茅s de que Abram se estableci贸 en la tierra de Cana谩n).

Génesis 16:3 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 16:3

And Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar her maid, the Egyptian,
&c.] Took her by the hand, it is probable, and led her into the apartment where Abram was, and presented her to him; their characters are very exactly described, and the contrast beautifully given, that the affair might be the more remarkable and observable:

after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan;
so that he was now eighty five years of age, for he was sventy five when he departed from Haran and came into Canaan, ( Genesis 12:4 ) ; and Sarai, being ten years younger than he, must be sventy five; the Jews from hence have formed a rule or canon; that if a man marries a woman, and she has no children in ten years, he is obliged to marry another F8:

and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife;
his secondary wife, or concubine; which, though contrary to the first institution of marriage, was connived at of God, and was practised by good men: nothing can excuse them but their earnest desire after the Messiah, the promised seed; and one may conclude, that nothing but this especially could move Sarai to take such a step, so contrary to the temper and disposition of women in common.

Génesis 16:3 In-Context

1 Nacimiento de Ismael
Ahora bien, Sarai, la esposa de Abram, no hab铆a podido darle hijos; pero ten铆a una sierva egipcia llamada Agar.
2 Entonces Sarai le dijo a Abram: 芦El Se帽or
no me ha permitido tener hijos. Ve y acu茅state con mi sierva; quiz谩 yo pueda tener hijos por medio de ella禄. Y Abram acept贸 la propuesta de Sarai.
3 Entonces Sarai, la esposa de Abram, tom贸 a Agar, la sierva egipcia, y la entreg贸 a Abram como mujer. (Esto ocurri贸 diez a帽os despu茅s de que Abram se estableci贸 en la tierra de Cana谩n).
4 As铆 que Abram tuvo relaciones sexuales con Agar, y ella qued贸 embarazada; pero cuando Agar supo que estaba embarazada, comenz贸 a tratar con desprecio a su se帽ora, Sarai.
5 Entonces Sarai le dijo a Abram:
鈥斅odo esto es culpa tuya! Puse a mi sierva en tus brazos pero, ahora que est谩 embarazada, me trata con desprecio. El Se帽or
mostrar谩 qui茅n est谩 equivocado, 隆t煤 o yo!
