16:1 | 亞伯蘭的妻子撒萊不給他生兒女。撒萊有一個使女名叫夏甲,是埃及人。 |
16:2 | 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(註:原文作“被建立”)。”亞伯蘭聽從了撒萊的話。 |
16:3 | 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。 |
16:4 | 亞伯蘭與夏甲同房,夏甲就懷了孕。她見自己有孕,就小看她的主母。 |
16:5 | 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。” |
16:6 | 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。 |
16:7 | 耶和華的使者在曠野書珥路上的水泉旁遇見她, |
16:8 | 對她說:“撒萊的使女夏甲,你從哪裡來?要往哪裡去?”夏甲說:“我從我的主母撒萊面前逃出來。” |
對神應許的實現失去了信心,便往往會跟隨了……
16:1-3 撒萊按照當時的習俗,把夏甲給亞伯蘭為妾。沒有孩子的已婚婦人會被人羞辱,她們通常將使女給丈夫為妾,好傳宗接代。妾侍所生的兒女,會被當作妻子所生的。亞伯蘭雖然只是照當時的習俗而行,但這樣做顯出他對神應許的兌現缺乏信心。
以自己的方式成就神的應許,是人常經歷的試探,我是否也陷入這種試探中?
16:3 撒萊要自己來處理問題,將夏甲給亞伯蘭為妾。她和亞伯蘭一樣對相信神明確的應許感到困難,信心不足就為他們帶來一連串的麻煩。當我們想用人為的努力,不按照神特定的方向,來實現神的應許時,也會帶來許多困擾。在這件事上,時間對亞伯蘭和撒萊是最大的考驗,看他們是否願意讓神在他們的身上動工。有時候,我們需要的也僅是等候。當我們為一些事向神祈求,又必須等候時,若用自己的方法來處理而干預神的計劃,就是一種試探。
求主讓我坦承錯誤……
16:5 雖然是撒萊安排夏甲給亞伯蘭生孩子,她卻因結果不如理想而責怪亞伯蘭。人很容易把失敗歸咎於別人,而不願意承認自己的錯誤、請求饒恕。(有關亞當夏娃與之行為相同的例子,請參3:12-13)。
委過他人以逃避責任,後果……
16:6 撒萊生亞伯蘭的氣,並把憤怒發洩在夏甲身上,苦待她,使她受不住而逃走。因為自己的錯誤而發出的怒氣,尤其危險。
問題已經出現,逃避不是辦法,怎辦?
16:8 夏甲從主母和煩惱中逃出,耶和華的使者則勸她:(1)回到主母撒萊那裡去,面對問題的來源;(2)順服主母;不管她怎樣有理,都要改善對撒萊的態度。逃避並不能解決問題,正視問題、領受神的幫助、改變自己的態度、做當做的事,才是智慧之舉。

Genesis
16:1 | Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. | |
16:2 | And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. | |
16:3 | And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife. | |
16:4 | And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. | |
16:5 | And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee. | |
16:6 | But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face. | |
16:7 | And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. | |
16:8 | And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai. |
16:1-3 Salai in accordance with the custom of the time, Jiajia to Ebailanweiqie. A married woman without children would be humiliation, they usually will Weiqie woman to her husband, a good family name. Concubine born children will be born as his wife. Ebailan Although this is the custom at that time as to, but it shows that he fulfilled God promised the lack of confidence.
Achievements in their own ways God's promise is often experienced test whether I got into this trial?
16:3 Salai to their own to deal with problems, Jiajia to Ebailanweiqie. She and Ebailan like to believe that God promised that the clear difficulties, a lack of confidence for them to bring a series of troubles. When we want to use for the efforts, in accordance with the specific direction of God, to realize God's promise, will bring many problems. In this case, the time of Ebailan and Salai is the biggest test to see whether they are willing to let God in their possession to start. Sometimes, we also need only wait. When some of the things we pray to God, we must wait, if using their own methods to deal with God and the intervention plan is a kind of test.
Lord, let me wrong admits……
Although the arrangement is 16:5 Salai Ebailan Jiajia to the children, because of her unsatisfactory results blame Ebailan. People are very easy to blame the failure of others, and unwilling to admit their mistakes, request forgiveness. (Adam Eve with the same acts examples, please 3:12-13).
Appoint a person to evade responsibility for the consequences……
16:6 Salai Health Ebailan gas, and to vent their anger on the Jiajia, harsh with her and make her subject and unable to escape. Because of their own mistakes and issued by the anger, particularly dangerous.
Issue has emerged, not to escape, what do we do?
Zhu Wu Jiajia from 16:8 and worries escaped, the messenger of the Lord advised her: (1) to Zhumusalai there, the source of the problem, (2) Submission Zhuwu; no matter how rational she must improve Salai attitude. Avoid and resolve the problem, address the problem squarely and receive God's help, to change their attitude, so as a matter of wisdom is cited.
