How does Hagar connect with the covenant from Mount Sinai?

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

It is not obvious how Hagar connects with the covenant from Mount Sinai. This is the only time in Scripture that such a statement is made.1 However, given the fact that Sarah is connected with the Abrahamic covenant (Isaiah 51:1–2), one can understand how further reflection would result in Hagar being connected with Moses.
