Génesis 21:13 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 21:13

And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation,
&c.] A great nation, as is promised, ( Genesis 17:20 ) ; and such the Ishmaelites and Saracens have been, and the Turks now are, the descendants of Ishmael. The Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it, a people of thieves, or a thieving people; as were the Saracens, and who are thought to have that name from the Arabic word "sarac" F25, to thieve; though they would have it derived from Sarah: but it is not agreeable to the promise of God to Abraham, that when for his comfort he is told that his son Ishmael and his descendants should become a great nation, that they should be described as a company of thieves and robbers; and especially when the reason of the promise is given,

because he [is] thy seed;
or thy son; here the word "seed" is again used of a single individual; see ( Genesis 4:25 ) ( Galatians 3:16 ) .

Génesis 21:13 In-Context

11 Esto disgust贸 mucho a Abraham, porque Ismael era su hijo;
12 pero Dios le dijo a Abraham: 芦No te alteres por el muchacho y tu sierva. Haz todo lo que Sara te diga, porque Isaac es el hijo mediante el cual proceder谩n tus descendientes.
13 Yo tambi茅n har茅 una naci贸n de los descendientes del hijo de Agar, porque 茅l tambi茅n es hijo tuyo禄.
14 As铆 que a la ma帽ana siguiente Abraham se levant贸 temprano, prepar贸 comida y un recipiente de agua, y amarr贸 todo a los hombros de Agar. Luego la despidi贸 junto con su hijo, y ella anduvo errante por el desierto de Beerseba.
15 Cuando se acab贸 el agua, Agar puso al muchacho a la sombra de un arbusto.
