| 16:1 |
Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no children. She had an Egyptian slave-girl whose name was Hagar,
|
| 16:2 |
and Sarai said to Abram, "You see that the LORD has prevented me from bearing children; go in to my slave-girl; it may be that I shall obtain children by her." And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
|
| 16:3 |
So, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her slave-girl, and gave her to her husband Abram as a wife.
|
| 16:4 |
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 |
Then Sarai said to Abram, "May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my slave-girl 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 Sarai, "Your slave-girl is in your power; do to her as you please." Then Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she ran away 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, slave-girl of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?" She said, "I am running away from my mistress Sarai."
|
| 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 offspring that they cannot be counted for multitude."
|
| 16:11 |
And the angel of the LORD said to her, "Now you have conceived and shall bear a son; you shall call him Ishmael, for the LORD has given heed to your affliction.
|
| 16:12 |
He shall be a wild ass of a man, with his hand against everyone, and everyone's hand against him; and he shall live at odds with all his kin."
|
| 16:13 |
So she named the LORD who spoke to her, "You are El-roi"; for she said, "Have I really seen God and remained alive after seeing him?"
|
| 16:14 |
Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; it lies between Kadesh and Bered.
|
| 16:15 |
Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
|
| 16:16 |
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore him Ishmael.
