Genesi 16:8-16

Listen to Genesi 16:8-16
8 e le disse: "Agar, serva di Sarai, donde vieni? e dove vai?" Ed ella rispose: "Me ne fuggo dal cospetto di Sarai mia padrona".
9 E l’angelo dell’Eterno le disse: "Torna alla tua padrona, e umiliati sotto la sua mano".
10 L’angelo dell’Eterno soggiunse: "Io moltiplicherò grandemente la tua progenie, e non la si potrà contare, tanto sarà numerosa".
11 E l’angelo dell’Eterno le disse ancora: "Ecco, tu sei incinta, e partorirai un figliuolo, al quale porrai nome Ismaele, perché l’Eterno t’ha ascoltata nella tua afflizione;
12 esso sarà tra gli uomini come un asino selvatico; la sua mano sarà contro tutti, e la mano di tutti contro di lui; e abiterà in faccia a tutti i suoi fratelli".
13 Allora Agar chiamò il nome dell’Eterno che le avea parlato, Atta-El-Roi, perché disse: "Ho io, proprio qui, veduto andarsene colui che m’ha vista?"
14 Perciò quel pozzo fu chiamato "il pozzo di Lachai-Roi". Ecco, esso è fra Kades e Bered.
15 E Agar partorì un figliuolo ad Abramo; e Abramo, al figliuolo che Agar gli avea partorito, pose nome Ismaele.
16 Abramo aveva ottantasei anni quando Agar gli partorì Ismaele.

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 16

This chapter gives an account of Abram's marrying his maid, at the instance of his wife Sarai, Ge 16:1-3, who, upon conceiving, despised her mistress; of which complaint is made to Abram, who leaving his maid to his wife, to deal with her as she pleased, dealt harshly by her, and therefore fled from her, Ge 16:4-6; when she was met by an angel, who advised her to return and submit herself to her mistress, and told her her seed would be greatly multiplied, gave a name to the child she went with, and described his temper and disposition, Ge 16:7-12; and then we have the name of God that spoke to her, and of the place where the discourse passed between them, Ge 16:13,14; and the chapter is concluded with the birth of Ishmael, and the age of Abram at his birth, Ge 16:15,16.
