KJV summary for : Genesis 16
Summary: Genesis Chapter 16 narrates the story of Abram (later Abraham), Sarai (later Sarah), and Hagar, highlighting themes of human impatience and the consequences of attempting to fulfill God's promises through human means. With Sarai unable to conceive, she suggests that Abram take Hagar, her Egyptian maidservant, as a concubine to bear a child. Abram agrees, and Hagar becomes pregnant, leading to tension between the women. Hagar begins to despise Sarai, prompting Sarai to mistreat her, which drives Hagar to flee into the wilderness. In the wilderness, Hagar encounters the Angel of the Lord, who instructs her to return to Sarai and submit to her. He also promises her that her offspring will be numerous. Hagar acknowledges God’s presence and names Him "El Roi," meaning "the God who sees me," illustrating the theme of divine care and attention even during human struggles. The chapter concludes with Hagar returning to Abram and Sarai, and she gives birth to Ishmael, marking a significant moment in the lineage and future narrative of the biblical text.
