Description
Genesis 16 depicts Abraham and Sarah’s impatience with God’s timing. Feeling barren, Sarah gives her servant Hagar to Abraham to bear a child. Hagar conceives and is mistreated, fleeing to the wilderness. God intervenes, providing mercy and promises for Hagar and her son Ishmael. The chapter teaches the dangers of taking shortcuts and underscores God’s compassion even amid human mistakes.
