• 16:1 Now Sar'ai, Abram's wife, bore him no children. She had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar;
    16:2 and Sar'ai said to Abram, 'Behold now, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children;go in to my maid;it may be that I shall obtain children by her.' And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sar'ai.
    16:3 So, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, Sar'ai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her maid, and gave her to Abram her husband as a wife.
    16:4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived;and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress.
    16:5 And Sar'ai said to Abram, 'May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my maid to your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked on me with contempt. May the LORD judge between you and me!'
    16:6 But Abram said to Sar'ai, 'Behold, your maid is in your power;do to her as you please.' Then Sar'ai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her.
    16:7 The angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur.
    16:8 And he said, 'Hagar, maid of Sar'ai, where have you come from and where are you going?' She said, 'I am fleeing from my mistress Sar'ai.'
    16:9 The angel of the LORD said to her, 'Return to your mistress, and submit to her.'
    16:10 The angel of the LORD also said to her, 'I will so greatly multiply your descendants that they cannot be numbered for multitude.'
    16:11 And the angel of the LORD said to her, 'Behold, you are with child, and shall bear a son;you shall call his name Ish'mael;because the LORD has given heed to your affliction.
    16:12 He shall be a wild ass of a man, his hand against every man and every man's hand against him;and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.'
    16:13 So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, 'Thou art a God of seeing';for she said, 'Have I really seen God and remained alive after seeing him?'
    16:14 Therefore the well was called Beer-la'hai-roi;it lies between Kadesh and Bered.
    16:15 And Hagar bore Abram a son;and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ish'mael.
    16:16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ish'mael to Abram.
