Gênesis 16

Gênesis 16

Hughes observes that Abram "hid behind the conventions of the Code of Hammurabi (Law 146), which stipulates that if a concubine claims equality with her mistress because she bore children, her mistress may demote her to her former status. Abram impotently abdicated any responsibility for the situation, or for that matter for poor Hagar who had recently become his wife." (BORROW Genesis: Beginning and Blessing page 240) Bob
