Genesis 16:5

Context
16:5 Then Sarai said to Abram, “You have brought this wrong on me!¹ I allowed my servant to have sexual relations with you,² but when she realized³ that she was pregnant, she despised me.⁴ May the Lord judge between you and me!”⁵

Genesis 50:5

Context
50:5 ‘My father made me swear an oath. He said,⁶ “I am about to die. Bury me⁷ in my tomb that I dug for myself there in the land of Canaan.” Now let me go and bury my father; then I will return.’”

¹tn Heb “my wrong is because of you.”

²tn Heb “I placed my female servant in your bosom.”

³tn Heb “saw.”

⁴tn Heb “I was despised in her eyes.” The passive verb has been translated as active for stylistic reasons. Sarai was made to feel supplanted and worthless by Hagar the servant girl.

⁵tn Heb “me and you.”

sn May the Lord judge between you and me. Sarai blamed Abram for Hagar’s attitude, not the pregnancy. Here she expects to be vindicated by the Lord who will prove Abram responsible. A colloquial rendering might be, “God will get you for this.” It may mean that she thought Abram had encouraged the servant girl in her elevated status.

⁶tn Heb “saying.”

⁷tn The imperfect verbal form here has the force of a command.
