It narrates Abraham’s long wait for an heir, the plan involving Hagar as a second wife, and the birth and naming of Ishmael. It then recounts God’s renewed appearance, the change of names to Abraham and Sarah, and the covenant instructions, including circumcision and the expectation of a promised son through Sarah.","105c Abraham’s Sons  \nGenesis 16-18  \nEnglish Bible  \n105c Abraham’s Sons  \nEnglish United States  \nCopyright © 2026, SIL Global  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

But Abram and Sarai were married for many years, and she did not bear him any children.  \nBackground info; Genesis 15:4-5  \nThen Abram and Sarai agreed on a plan for having children. Sarai gave her maid servant from Egypt, Hagar, to Abram to be a second wife. Sarai said,“Maybe she will have a son who will then be mine.” And Abram slept with Hagar.  \nGenesis 16:1-3  \nAbram was 86 years old when Hagar gave birth to a baby boy. Abram named him Ishmael. Abram hoped Ishmael was the child God promised him.  \nGenesis 16:15-16; 17:18  \nBut when Abram was 99 years old, God appeared to him again. He said,“I am God Allpowerful! I can do anything. Serve me faithfully! Obey me and do what is right! From now on your name is Abraham which means‘father to many nations’. \"  \nGenesis 17:1, 5  \n“This is my covenant that you must obey: Every male among you must be circumcised. This sign will remind you of the eternal covenant between me and you. For all generations to come, every baby boy must be circumcised when he is eight days old. \"  \nGenesis 17:9-13, 23  \n“I will bless your wife Sarai. She will now be called Sarah, which means ‘princess’. Many nations and kings will come from her. I will give you a son through her, and I will confirm my covenant with Sarah’s son.”  \nGenesis 17:15-16","cbCaie7oqzJmJWNS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie7oqzJmJWNS","pdf",7265709,3,1,27,"English","en",105,"# Genesis 16: Promise and Hagar\n# Genesis 17: Covenant, Name Changes, and Blessing","[{\"question\":\"Why did Abraham and Sarai involve Hagar in the plan for children?\",\"answer\":\"After many years of marriage without children, Sarai gave her Egyptian maid servant Hagar to Abram so that Hagar might bear a son who would belong to Sarai’s family line.\"},{\"question\":\"What happened when Hagar gave birth?\",\"answer\":\"Abraham was 86 when Hagar gave birth to a baby boy.
