Genesis 16:1 in Context — Genesis 16
1 Saraï, femme d’Abram, ne lui avait point donné d’enfants. Elle avait une servante égyptienne, nommée Agar.
2 Et Saraï dit à Abram: Voici, l’Éternel m’a rendue stérile; viens, je te prie, vers ma servante; peut-être aurai-je par elle des enfants. Abram écouta la voix de Saraï.
3 Alors Saraï, femme d’Abram, prit Agar, l’Égyptienne, sa servante, et la donna pour femme à Abram, son mari, après qu’Abram eut habité dix années dans le pays de Canaan.
