Genesis 16:5
And Sarai said to Abram, My injury be upon you; I gave my slave-girl into your bosom, and she saw that she had conceived, and I was despised in her eyes. Let Jehovah judge between me and you.
And Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my servant to your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked on me with contempt. May the LORD judge between you and me!”
And Sarai said to Abram, I am injured by thee; I gave my handmaid into thy bosom, and when I saw that she was with child, I was dishonored before her. The Lord judge between me and thee.

| 595 | She is the Testimony Compare this saying with Matt. 11:12, “From the days of John the Baptist until now the queen of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take her by force” and Luke 16:22, “The poor man became, then, to die and was carried away by the messengers into the pocket-fold of Father-of-Tumult; then also the rich man died and was buried.” Notice how Sarah makes a vague connection with Hagar as herself. Compare, None have ever seen Theos, an only-kind Theos, the-one who is in the pocket-fold of the father, that one has shown-the-way-out. And she is the testimony of the Favor-of-Yah.” John 1:18-19 literal |
| 596 | The Great Displacement The passive form of being lightened is a subtle way of revealing that Hagar is not the one disesteeming Sarah, but rather is seeing Sarah being lightened (opposite of glory/weight). Notice she, Hagar ends up in Father-of-Tumult’s pocket-fold. Her eyes are opened. She sees that her lady-mistress, Sarah, is getting smeared. “Underneath three the earth has quaked, and underneath four she is not able to lift up. “Blessed are the gentle-ones because they will inherit the earth.” Matt. 5:5 literal |
