Genesis16:5

5. And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee : I have given my maid into thy bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee .

(i. e.) The injury done to me by Hagar, who thus wickedly requites my kindness to her, be upon thee; i. e. is to be imputed to thee, thou art the cause of it, because thou dost not maintain my reputation, and repress her arrogancy.

(i. e.) give forth a righteous sentence between us, and deal with each of us according to our guilt or innocency in this matter. Compare 1 Sam. 24. 13, 16.
