1 | Was it wrong to send Hagar away? | Gen 21:14 | Makarios | 10407 | ||
Greetings Steve! Please forgive me for using an "expert" here, but this is very good in relation to your question.. "Cast out ... not be heir. Legal codes of Abraham's day- e.g., of Nuzi and of Hammurabi- forbade the putting out of a handmaiden's son if a rightful, natural heir was born. Sarah's request, thus, offended social law, Abraham's sensibilities, and his love for Ishmael (v. 11). Abraham, however, was given divine approval and assurances to overcome his scruples before sending Hagar and Ishmael out into the wilderness (vv. 12-15), cf. Gal. 4:22-31." Taken from page 44 of The MacArthur NKJV Study Bible Nolan |

2 | Was it wrong to send Hagar away? | Gen 21:14 | Searcher56 | 10513 | ||
Nolan, I want to know what the "experts" say, sometimes. In this case, God knew what Sarah was going to say-beit violation of the law they knew. God also knew the results of this action, as well as imparting life in the womb of Hagar. Steve |
