Y respondió Abram a Sarai: He ahí tu sierva en tu mano, haz con ella lo que bien te pareciere. Entonces Sarai la afligió, y ella huyó de su presencia.
Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 6. Sarah dealt hardly with her] hnat teanneha, she afflicted her; the term implying stripes and hard usage, to bring down the body and humble the mind. If the slave
was to blame in this business the mistress is not less liable to censure. She alone had brought her into those circumstances, in which it was natural for her to value herself beyond her mistress.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 4-6 - Abram's unhappy marriage to Hagar very soon made a great deal of mischief. We may thank ourselves for the guilt and grief that follo us, when we go out of the way of our duty. See it in this case Passionate people often quarrel with others, for things of which the themselves must bear the blame. Sarai had given her maid to Abram, ye she cries out, My wrong be upon thee. That is never said wisely, whic pride and anger put into our mouths. Those are not always in the right who are most loud and forward in appealing to God: such rash and bol imprecations commonly speak guilt and a bad cause. Hagar forgot tha she herself had first given the provocation, by despising her mistress Those that suffer for their faults, ought to bear it patiently, 1P 2:20.
