Genesis 16:2

"Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, bore him no children. She had a servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar."

Key Reflection

This verse sets the stage for the introduction of Hagar, highlighting Sarai's barrenness and her subsequent decision to use Hagar as a surrogate. This act foreshadows the complexities of divine promise and human faith that will unfold later in the narrative, particularly with Hagar's pregnancy and its consequences.
