撒萊對亞伯蘭說:「耶和華使我不能生育。求你和我的使女同房,或者我可以因她得孩子〔得孩子:原文是被建立〕。」亞伯蘭聽從了撒萊的話。 2 so she said to Abram, 「The LORD has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her.」 Abram agreed to what Sarai said.
於是亞伯蘭的妻子撒萊將使女埃及人夏甲給了丈夫為妾;那時亞伯蘭在迦南已經住了十年。 3 So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife.
撒萊對亞伯蘭說:「我因你受屈。我將我的使女放在你懷中,她見自己有了孕,就小看我。願耶和華在你我中間判斷。」 5 Then Sarai said to Abram, 「You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my servant in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the LORD judge between you and me.」
亞伯蘭對撒萊說:「使女在你手下,你可以隨意待她。」撒萊苦待她,她就從撒萊面前逃走了。 6 「Your servant is in your hands,」 Abram said. 「Do with her whatever you think best.」 Then Sarai mistreated Hagar; so she fled from her.
對她說:「撒萊的使女夏甲,你從哪裏來?要往哪裏去?」夏甲說:「我從我的主母撒萊面前逃出來。」 8 And he said, 「Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?」 「I'm running away from my mistress Sarai,」 she answered.
並說:「你如今懷孕要生一個兒子,可以給他起名叫以實瑪利〔就是神聽見的意思〕,因為耶和華聽見了你的苦情。 11 The angel of the LORD also said to her: 「You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, 16:11 ((Ishmael)) means ((God hears.)) for the LORD has heard of your misery.
他為人必像野驢。他的手要攻打人,人的手也要攻打他;他必住在眾弟兄的東邊。」 12 He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward 16:12 Or ((live to the east / of)) all his brothers.」
夏甲就稱那對她說話的耶和華為「看顧人的神」。因而說:「在這裏我也看見那看顧我的嗎?」 13 She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: 「You are the God who sees me,」 for she said, 「I have now seen 16:13 Or ((seen the back of)) the One who sees me.」
所以這井名叫庇耳‧拉海‧萊。這井正在加低斯和巴列中間。 14 That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi; 16:14 ((Beer Lahai Roi)) means ((well of the Living One who sees me.)) it is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
July 16 "Because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son……I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven; ……because thou hast obeyed my voice." (Gen. 22:16-18.) AND from that day to this, men have been learning that when, at God's voice, they surrender up to Him the one thing above all else that was dearest to their very hearts, that same thing is returned to them by Him a thousand times over. Abraham gives up his one and only son, at God's call, and with this disappear all his hopes for the boy's life and manhood, and for a noble family his name. But the boy is restored, the family becomes as the stars and sands in number, and out of it, in the fullness of time, appears Jesus Christ. That is just the way God meets every real sacrifice of every child of His. We surrender all and accept poverty; and He sends wealth. We renounce a rich field of service; He sends us a richer one than we had dared to dream of. We give up all our cherished hopes, and die unto self; He sends us the life more abundant, and tingling joy. And the crown of it all is our Jesus Christ. For we can never know the fullness of the life that is in Christ until we have made Abraham's supreme sacrifice. The earthly founder of the family of Christ must commence by losing himself and his only son, just as the Heavenly Founder of that family did. We cannot be members of that family with the full privileges and joys of membership upon any other basis. ─C. G. Trumbull. We sometimes seem to forget that what God takes He takes in fire; and that the only way to the resurrection life and the ascension mount is the way of the garden, the cross, and the grave. Think not, O soul of man, that Abraham's was a unique and solitary experience. It is simply a specimen and pattern of God's dealings with all souls who are prepared to obey Him at whetever cost. After thou hast patiently endured, thou shalt receive the promise. The moment of supreme sacriflce shall be the moment of supreme and rapturous blessing. God's river, which is full of water, shall burst its banks, and pour upon thee a tide of wealth and grace. There is nothing, indeed, which God will not do for a man who dares to step out upon what seems to be the mist; though as he puts down his foot he finds a rock beneath him. ─F. B. Meyer.
