Génesis 16:4 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 16:4

And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived
The formality of the marriage being over, he enjoyed her as his wife, and she immediately conceived by him:

and when she saw that she had conceived;
when she perceived that she was with child:

her mistress was despised in her eyes;
she thought herself above her, and treated her as her inferior, with contempt, and reproached her for her barrenness, as Peninnah did Hannah, ( 1 Samuel 1:6 1 Samuel 1:7 ) ; and it was the more ungrateful, as it was at the motion of her mistress that she was given to Abram for wife.

Génesis 16:4 In-Context

2 Dijo, pues, Sarai a Abram: He aqu铆 ahora el SE脩OR me ha vedado de dar a luz; te ruego que entres a mi sierva; por ventura tendr茅 hijos de ella. Y oy贸 Abram al dicho de Sarai.
3 Y Sarai, la mujer de Abram, tom贸 a Agar su sierva egipcia, al cabo de diez a帽os que hab铆a habitado Abram en la tierra de Cana谩n, y la dio a Abram su marido por mujer.
4 Y 茅l entr贸 a Agar, la cual concibi贸; y cuando vio que hab铆a concebido, miraba con desprecio a su se帽ora.
5 Entonces Sarai dijo a Abram: Mi afrenta es sobre ti; yo puse mi sierva en tu seno, y vi茅ndose embarazada, me mira con desprecio; juzgue el SE脩OR entre m铆 y ti.
6 Y respondi贸 Abram a Sarai: He ah铆 tu sierva en tu mano, haz con ella lo que bien te pareciere. Entonces Sarai la afligi贸, y ella huy贸 de su presencia.
