Galatians 4:22-26 For it is written in the law about Abraham’s two sons Gen.; one was by his slave woman Hagar and the other by the free woman, his wife, Sarah.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² For it is written in the law about Abraham’s two sons [Gen. 16]; one [was] by his slave woman [Hagar] and the other by the free woman, [his wife, Sarah]. ²³ Now the son [Ishmael], born to the slave woman, was born simply of their natural relationship; but the son [Isaac], born to the free woman, was born in fulfillment of a [divine] promise. ²⁴ This set of circumstances contains an illustration; for these two women [Hagar and Sarah] represent the two Agreements [between God and mankind]. The one [Agreement], given at Mount Sinai, represents Hagar, whose children became [the Israelites], enslaved under bondage [to the requirements of the law of Moses]. ²⁵ Now this woman, Hagar, is similar to Mount Sinai, in Arabia, and represents the present [earthly] Jerusalem [i.e., Israel], consisting of children in bondage [to the law of Moses]. ²⁶ But the heavenly Jerusalem [Heb. 12:22] consists of free people, and is the mother of us [Christians].
