Advanced Lesson - Bible Stories - Hagar Bore Ishmael

  • Description
  • Vocabulary

亚怕兰的妻子撒莱不育,一直没有生下儿子,家产和事业的继承人问题使他日思夜想,愁绪难解。有一天夜里,在长时间的祷告中,上帝显现异象,对他说:

“你不要惧怕!我是你的盾牌,必大大地赏赐你。”

亚伯兰对上帝的信仰是无条件的,对上帝的神谕的信服也是无条件的。亚伯兰信悦上帝的话,上帝便以此为义。不能生育的撒莱看见丈夫因为没有后代而痛苦,便起了怜悯之心,决定按祖先的习俗行事。根据希伯来人祖先的习俗,不能生儿育女的妻子应该给丈夫找个妾,丈夫和这个妾生下的儿子可以成为合法的继承人,享有全部长子权。撒莱选中了自己的埃及使女夏甲给亚伯兰作妾…夏甲很快就生产了,果然是个儿子,亚伯兰就按天使的意思取名叫做以实玛利。以实玛利这个名字意思是“神听见”。那年亚怕兰已经86岁。
