Galatians 4:24 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Which things are an allegory — An allegory is a figurative speech, wherein one thing is expressed, and another intended. For those two sons are types of the two covenants. One covenant is that given from mount Sinai, which beareth children to bondage — That is, all who are under this, the Jewish covenant, are in bondage. Which covenant is typified by Agar.

Galatians 4:24
