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.
