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 ) .

13 Y tambi茅n al hijo de la sierva pondr茅 en gente, porque es tu simiente.
14 Entonces Abraham se levant贸 muy de ma帽ana, y tom贸 pan, y un odre de agua, y lo dio a Agar, poni茅ndolo sobre su hombro, y le entreg贸 al muchacho, y la envi贸. Y ella fue, y se perdi贸 en el desierto de Beerseba.
15 Y falt贸 el agua del odre, y ech贸 al muchacho debajo de un 谩rbol;
