Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

Abram said: O Jehovah God, what will you give me? I continue childless! The heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus.

She said to Abraham: Get rid of that slave woman and her son.

Isaac prayed to Jehovah for his wife because she was childless. Jehovah answered his prayer. His wife Rebekah became pregnant.

There was a man named Manoah from the town of Zorah. He was a member of the tribe of Dan. His wife was not able to have children.

They had no child for Elizabeth was barren and they both were well advanced in years.

He treated Abram well for her sake. Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, menservants and maidservants, and camels.

Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was laughing in mockery.
