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.
My wrong be upon thee - i:e., the wrong done to me (cf. Judges 9:24; Joel 4:19; Obadiah 1:10; Hab. 11:8,17). This was addressed to Abram, and seems to have been a passionate exclamation, signifying either the insolence I am now enduring is on account of thee-from my earnest and disinterested wish to gratify thee with a son and heir-or it is thy duty, I look to thee, my proper and legal guardian (cf. Genesis 27:13; Jeremiah 51:35), to undertake my cause and to redress my wrongs.
