Abraham could make Hagar have a baby. He had sex with Hagar, the slave. Hagar’s body worked properly. Ishmael was born 9 months later. This all happened in the normal way. But Hagar and her son were slaves. Abraham and Sarah had sex in the usual way for married couples. Sarah was not a slave but her body did not work properly. They were married for a long time but Sarah never had a baby. One day, God promised Abraham that Sarah would have a son (Genesis 17:15-17). Sarah was 90 years old. It was impossible for her to have a baby at that age. Abraham could not make Sarah have a baby. But God made it happen because of his promise. Sarah and her son were not slaves. They were free people.
