I just watched ep.1 of the Handmaid's tale & the one actually quoted bible verse used to introduce the "act" of ritual ( 🫢 ) was inspired by this verse:
Genesis 16:1-2 NIV
[1] Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian slave named Hagar;
[2] so she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.” Abram agreed to what Sarai said.
https://bible.com/bible/111/gen.16.1-2.NIV It's a chapter about how Abraham and his wife had taken matters in their own hands; God wanted Abraham to focus on his assignment, not on children, but Sarah was impatient, and so was Abraham.
It did not lead to anything good - the slave grew resentful, and got banished (this is why unicorns are so rare in non-slave-situations, do not recommend🤣

And God fulfilled Abraham and Sarah's wish for their own children/with Sarai/Sarah, too, later, eventually
Genesis 18:10-15 NIV
[10] Then one of them said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him.
[11] Abraham and Sarah were already very old, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing.
[12] So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?”
[13] Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’
[14] Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”
[15] Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.” But he said, “Yes, you did laugh.”
https://bible.com/bible/111/gen.18.10-15.NIVGenesis 21:1-3, 5-7 NIV
[1] Now the Lord was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised.
[2] Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him.
[3] Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore him.
[5] Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
[6] Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” [7] And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
https://bible.com/bible/111/gen.21.1-7.NIVI still remain critical of religion, of course, but the more I read the more I wish I'd done so sooner
