"Please, have relations with my servant. Perhaps I can have children by means of her" - Genesis 16:2

"Does the account suggest that Jehovah moved Sarah to make such an offer? No. Rather, her proposal reveals a very human outlook. She thought that God was responsible for her troubles, and she could not imagine that he had another solution. Sarah’s own solution would bring her pain and trouble. Still, her proposal showed an admirable lack of selfishness. - w17 #5 p. 12

"CAIN had a choice, a decision to make: Get the mastery over his sinful emotions or let his emotions rule his actions. [...] the ability to make good decisions can help us to live a relatively smooth, peaceful life rather than one that is full of chaos, controversy, and disappointment.—Prov. 14:8." - w17 3/15 p. 15 par1

CONCUBINES

Easton's Bible Dictionary
In the Bible denotes a female conjugally* united to a man, but in a relation inferior to that of a wife. Among the early Jews, from various causes, the difference between a wife and a concubine was less Marked than it would be amongst us. The concubine was a wife of secondary rank. There are various laws recorded providing for their protection (Exodus 21:7; Deuteronomy 21:10-14), and setting limits to the relation they sustained to the household to which they belonged (Genesis 21:14; 25:6). They had no authority in the family, nor could they share in the household government

* Definition of conjugal : relating to marriage or to a married couple

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

2. (n.) A wife of inferior condition; a lawful wife, but not united to the man by the usual ceremonies, and of inferior condition. Such were Hagar and Keturah, the concubines of Abraham.

"Thus, the concubine was not a kept mistress, and did not cohabit with a man unless married to him. The institution itself is an offshoot of polygamy" - R. Laird Harris, Robert Laird Harris, Gleason Leonard Archer and Bruce K. Waltke, Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament, electronic ed. (Chicago: Moody Press, 1999, c1980), 724.

"… is in fact a legitimate wife, but of second rank. We meet here with a figure typical of sovereigns, but rare in the private sphere” - Alberto Soggin, The Old Testament Library: Judges, tr. John Bowden (Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1981), 159

" In most contexts in the Old Testament the concubine was considered a legal if second-ranked wife" - Daniel Isaac Block, vol. 6, Judges, Ruth; The New American Commentary (Nashville: Broadman & Holman Publishers, 2001), 303

<< Barren Women in the Bible [INDEX] >>

"But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren" - Luke 1:7

"Now Sarai was barren; she had no child."- Genesis 11:30

"Now Sar´ai, A´bram’s wife, had borne him no children; but she had an Egyptian maidservant and her name was Ha´gar. 2 Hence Sar´ai said to A´bram: “Please now! Jehovah has shut me off from bearing children. Please, have relations with my maidservant. Perhaps I may get children from her.” So A´bram listened to the voice of Sar´ai. 3 Then Sar´ai, A´bram’s wife, took Ha´gar, her Egyptian maidservant, at the end of ten years of A´bram’s dwelling in the land of Ca´naan, and gave her to A´bram her husband as his wife. 4 Accordingly he had relations with Ha´gar, and she became pregnant. When she became aware that she was pregnant, then her mistress began to be despised in her eyes."- Genesis 16: 1 - 4 (New World Translation)
