1. Mosebok 16,8

HagarSarah
Guidance and decisions

6 Abram svarte Sarai: "Din slave er i dine hender; gjør med henne hva du synes er best." Så behandlet Sarai Hagar hardt, og hun flyktet fra henne.

7 Herrens engel fant Hagar ved en kilde i ørkenen; det var kilden på veien til Sur.

Han sa: "Hagar, Sarais slave, hvor kommer du fra, og hvor går du?" Hun svarte: "Jeg flykter fra min frue Sarai."

9 Herrens engel instruerte henne: "Gå tilbake til din frue og aksepter hennes veiledning."

10 Engelen la til: "Jeg vil i stor grad øke dine etterkommere så de blir for tallrike til å telle."

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
