What does it mean that Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia?

Galates 4:25 (NEG79)

25 car Agar, c'est le mont Sina en Arabie et elle correspond à la Jérusalem actuelle, qui est dans la servitude avec ses enfants.

Elsewhere in Scripture, Sarah is connected with the Abrahamic covenant and Mount Zion (Isaiah 51:1–3). Zion represented the heavenly Jerusalem, the dwelling of God with his people (Psalm 87:1–7). Hagar is not connected to Zion but to Sinai in Arabia, a mountain outside the Promised Land,1 not the dwelling place of God with his people.
