lesson 5 

Hello! Its Rosalia again!  This lesson is about the Sarai and Hagar.  This is the next main story after the tower of babel.  

Sarai (Abram's wife) had no children, and she was getting old.  But she did have a girl servant named Hagar.  Sarai said to Abram, the Lord is not giving me a child.  Take Hagar as your wife also, because you will have more luck with getting children through her.  Ten years later, Hagar became pregnant.  Sarai was angry because Hagar was going to have a baby and she was not.  Abram told Sarai that he could do what she want with Hagar, cause Hagar was HER servant.  Sarai made life hard for Hagar, and she secretly fled.  Then an angel of the LORD found Hagar by a spring of water in the wilderness, and the angel of the LORD said to Hagar, where have you come from?  Where are you going?  I am fleeing from my master, Sarai.  And the angel of the LORD said, go back to your master, Sarai, and do what she says.  Then the angel said to Hagar that she would have a son and you shall call him Ishmael, and even though God was going to carry the promise of a great nation through Isaac, God would make a great nation through Ishmael, too.  And Hagar gave birth, and called the son Ishmael.  Abram was 86 years old when Hagar gave birth.


I think our 'take-away' from this lesson is to not be jealous.  Can you get a different 'take-away' from this lesson?  If you can, thats great!  Also, if you can think of one, type it in on the question section.  If I pick YOUR 'take-away', then YOUR name will be in the answers page!   See you next Saturday!   Rosalia.          
Read it in Genesis chapter 16!
