Galatians:4:21-31

Tell me ,
you Goyim who wish to be under the Torah ,
do you not possess "
shema "
hearing of the Torah ?
*
For the Torah says that Avraham Avinu had shnei banim (
note :)
two sons (:
note ),
one of haAmah the slave woman and one of the hofshiyah free woman .
*
But the one of the slave woman has been born according to the basar ,
and the one of the free woman has been born through the havtachah (
note :)
promise (:
note ).
*
Now these things can be taken derech mashal (
note :)
figuratively (:
note );
for these are two beritot covenants--see strkjv @
3:17 ,
one from Mount Sinai bearing banim for avdut slavery ,
bondage :
this is Hagar .
*
Now ,
Hagar is the Mount Sinai in Arabia ;
and corresponds to the Yerushalayim of now ,
for she is in avdut with her banim .
*
But the Yerushalayim above is a bat chorin (
note :)
daughter of freedom (:
note ),
haEm lechulanu the Mother of us all--TEHILLIM strkjv @
87:5-6 ;
SHEMOT strkjv @
25:40 ;
YESHAYEH strkjv @
49:20f ;
strkjv @
54:1-13 .
*
For it has been written ,
RANNI AKARAH LO YALADAH PITZCHI RINNAH V '
TZAHALI LO CHALAH KI RABBIM BENEI SHOMEMAH MIB '
NEI VE '
ULAH (
note :)"
Sing /
rejoice ,
O barren ,
the one not giving birth ,
break forth into song and shout for joy ,
the one not suffering birth pains ;
because more are the children of the desolate woman than the one having the husband "
YESHAYEH strkjv @
54:1 (:
note ).
*
But you ,
Achim b '
Moshiach ,
are Bnei haHavtacha (
note :)
Sons of the Promise (:
note ),
like Yitzchak .
*
But just as at that time the one born according to the basar was bringing redifah (
note :)
persecution (:
note )
on the one born according to the Ruach haKodesh ,
so it is now also .
*
But what does the Kitvei haKodesh say ?
GARESH HA '
AMAH HAZOT V '
ES B '
NAH KI LO YIRASH BEN-HA '
AMAH HAZOT IM BENI (
note :)"
Cast out the slave woman and her son ,
for never will the son of the slave woman inherit with my son ,
the son of the free woman "
BERESHIS strkjv @
21:10 (:
note )
*
Therefore ,
Achim B '
Moshiach ,
we are not Bnei haAmah (
note :)
Sons of the Slave Woman (:
note )
but Bnei haHofshiyah Sons of the Free Woman .
