Which covenant is represented by which woman?

Galates 4:24 (NEG79)

24 Ces faits ont une valeur allégorique; car ces femmes sont deux alliances. L'une du mont Sinaï, enfantant pour la servitude, c'est Agar

Hagar is said to represent the covenant from Mount Sinai, which would mean that she represents the Mosaic covenant (Exodus 19:1–25). Sarah would then represent the Abrahamic covenant (Isaiah 51:1–2). This is confirmed by the fact that Paul quotes from Isaiah 54:1 in Galatians 4:27, thereby linking Sarah to Jerusalem while also affirming that the time has come for the eschatological fulfillment of the covenant made with Abraham.1
