23. Now, the son of the slave woman was conceived in a natural way, but the son of the free woman was conceived through a promise ⌊made to Abraham⌋.
24. I’m going to use these historical events as an illustration. The women illustrate two arrangements. The one woman, Hagar, is the arrangement made on Mount Sinai. Her children are born into slavery.
25. Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia. She is like Jerusalem today because she and her children are slaves.
26. But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
