Gênesis 21:13

Listen to Gênesis 21:13
13 Mas também do filho da escrava farei um povo; pois ele é seu descendente”.

Gênesis 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 ) .

Gênesis 21:13 In-Context

11 Isso perturbou demais Abraão, pois envolvia um filho seu.
12 Mas Deus lhe disse: “Não se perturbe por causa do menino e da escrava. Atenda a tudo o que Sara lhe pedir, porque será por meio de Isaque que a sua descendência há de ser considerada.
13 Mas também do filho da escrava farei um povo; pois ele é seu descendente”.
14 Na manhã seguinte, Abraão pegou alguns pães e uma vasilha de couro cheia d'água, entregou-os a Hagar e, tendo-os colocado nos ombros dela, despediu-a com o menino. Ela se pôs a caminho e ficou vagando pelo deserto de Berseba.
15 Quando acabou a água da vasilha, ela deixou o menino debaixo de um arbusto
