Galatians 4:24

Linguistic Bible Translation from Source Texts

Now these things may be interpreted allegorically: These women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery—this is Hagar.

  • Gal 3:15-21 : 15 Brothers and sisters, let me take an example from everyday life: Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly ratified, so it is in this case. 16 Now to Abraham the promises were spoken, and to his seed. It does not say, 'and to seeds,' as if referring to many, but, 'and to your seed,' meaning one, who is Christ. 17 This is what I mean: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus cancel the promise. 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God gave it to Abraham through a promise. 19 Why, then, was the law given? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise was made would come. It was administered through angels by a mediator. 20 Now a mediator implies more than one party, but God is one. 21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.

I will be their God, and they will be my people. 11 No longer will they teach their neighbors or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful toward their unrighteousness, and I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more. 13 By calling this covenant 'new,' he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
  • Heb 9:15-24 : 15 Therefore, Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that He has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. 16 For where there is a will, it must be established that the death of the one who made it has occurred. 17 For a will takes effect only when someone has died; it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. 18 This is why even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood. 19 For when every commandment of the law had been proclaimed by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, 'This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded you to follow.' 21 In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship. 22 Indeed, according to the Law, almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. 23 Therefore, it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves require better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.
  • Heb 10:15-18 : 15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First, He says: 16 "This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts and write them on their minds." 17 Then He adds: 'Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no longer.' 18 Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.
  • Heb 11:19 : 19 Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death as a symbol.

    25Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

    26But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.

    27For it is written: 'Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than those of the one who has a husband.'

    28Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.

    29But just as the one born according to the flesh persecuted the one born through the Spirit, so it is also now.

    30But what does the Scripture say? 'Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.'

    31So then, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
