    Annotated Gen.16.4-6 "Sarai and Hagar"

    And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes./ And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom." St Paul compares the two and says,"Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.". (Gal.4.30) The Spirit introduces a similar case to distinguish Eliezer of Damascus cannot be heir as the one born out of thine own loins." but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir." (15.4) Hagar is set in the household where the bondmaid is to look to the hand of her mistress and not lie on the bosom of her Lord."Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress;" (Ps.123.2). St Paul addresses onlyone aspect and significance goes beyond the free or bond but to the mercy of God. Bh of imposter churches harping on a talking point as the gospel truth has been in error all along.The point here is the mercy of God. " so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us." Here we have an error of judgment and Sarai was in error. The Spirit setting Abram as the double for the Son exhorts us to pay heed to mind of whose house we are. God blesses Ishmael so we have Abraham naming him. (Heb.3.6) Correct Bible hermeneutics compel us to fix the holiness of God and the role of his Son holding the heart, Let all angels worship him' is not be sidelined. It was how the devil tricked imposter churches.

    Sarai moans," And when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the Lord judge between me and thee."

    6 But Abram said unto Sarai, do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face. In his household The face of Sarai is how Hagar could work with. One cannot upend the House rules and not suffer.
