Gen. 15:21      Gen. 16:2

Genesis 16:1

Abram and his wife Sarai were childless.
[In this culture, this was considered shameful. However, God had promised them a child of their own who would be their heir, see Gen. 12:2. Ten years earlier, Abram had tried to adopt his servant Eliezer to have an heir, but God then clarified His promise that it would indeed be his own son, see Gen. 15:2–4. Abram is now 85 years old and Sarai is 75, see Gen. 12:4; 17:17.]
Sarai had an Egyptian servant named Hagar [whom they probably received from Pharaoh when they were in Egypt, see Gen. 12:16].
