GriefWaiting on God
Nå hadde Sarai, Abrams kone, ikke født ham noen barn, men hun hadde en egyptisk slave ved navn Hagar.

2 Sarai sa til Abram: "Herren har hindret meg fra å få barn. Vær så snill å ha omgang med min slave; kanskje jeg kan bygge en familie gjennom henne." Abram lyttet til Sarai.

3 Etter at Abram hadde bodd ti år i Kanaan, tok Sarai, Abrams kone, sin egyptiske slave Hagar og ga henne til sin mann Abram for å være hans kone.
