Génesis 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.

18 Lev谩ntate y t贸malo de la mano, que yo har茅 de 茅l una gran naci贸n禄.
19 En ese momento Dios le abri贸 a Agar los ojos, y ella vio un pozo de agua. En seguida fue a llenar el odre y le dio de beber al ni帽o.
20 Dios acompa帽贸 al ni帽o, y este fue creciendo; vivi贸 en el desierto y se convirti贸 en un experto arquero;
