Galatians 4:23-25

International Children’s Bible

²³ Abraham’s son from the slave woman was born in the normal human way. But the son from the free woman was born because of the promise God made to Abraham.

²⁴ This makes a picture for us. The two women are like the two agreements between God and men. One agreement is the law that God made on Mount Sinai.^[a] The people who are under this agreement are like slaves. The mother named Hagar is like that agreement. ²⁵ She is like Mount Sinai in Arabia and is a picture of the earthly Jewish city of Jerusalem. This city is a slave, and all its people are slaves to the law.
