GE-16:1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she
had an
handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name [was] Hagar.
GE-16:2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath
restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it
may be
that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the
voice of
Sarai.
GE-16:3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian,
after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave
her to
her husband Abram to be his wife.
GE-16:4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when
she
saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her
eyes.
GE-16:5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong [be] upon thee: I
have
given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had
conceived,
I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.
GE-16:6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid [is] in thy
hand;
do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with
her,
she fled from her face.
GE-16:7 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of
water in
the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
GE-16:8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou?
and
whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my
mistress Sarai.
GE-16:9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy
mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
GE-16:10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will
multiply thy
seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
GE-16:11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou
[art]
with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name
Ishmael;
because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
GE-16:12 And he will be a wild man; his hand [will be] against
every
man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the
presence of all his brethren.
GE-16:13 And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto
her,
Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after
him
that seeth me?
GE-16:14 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold,
[it is]
between Kadesh and Bered.
GE-16:15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's
name,
which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
GE-16:16 And Abram [was] fourscore and six years old, when
Hagar bare
Ishmael to Abram.
