Gen.|16:1|-|Now |1|Sarai, Abram’s wife, |a|bore him no children; and she had an Egyptian female servant, whose name was |1b|Hagar.
Gen.|16:2|-|And Sarai said to Abram, Because |a|Jehovah has prevented me from bearing, please go in to my female servant; perhaps I will |1|have children through her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
Gen.|16:3|-|So after Abram had dwelt |a|ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her female servant, and gave her to Abram her husband to be a wife.
Gen.|16:4|-|And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
Gen.|16:5|-|And Sarai said to Abram, May the wrong done to me be upon you. I gave my female servant into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. May Jehovah judge between me and you.
Gen.|16:6|-|And Abram said to Sarai, Your female servant is now in your hand; do to her what is good in your eyes. So Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from before her.
Gen.|16:7|-|And the |1a|Angel of Jehovah found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.
Gen.|16:8|-|And He said, Hagar, Sarai’s female servant, where did you come from and where are you going? And she said, I am fleeing from before my mistress Sarai.
Gen.|16:9|-|And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.
Gen.|16:10|-|And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, I will greatly |a|multiply your seed, so that it will not be counted for multitude.
Gen.|16:11|-|And the Angel of Jehovah said to her,You have now conceived
And will bear a son,And you shall call his name |1|Ishmael,
Because Jehovah has heard of your affliction.
Gen.|16:12|-|And he will be a wild ass of a man;His hand will be against everyone,
And everyone’s hand, against him;And he will settle down opposite all his brothers.
Gen.|16:13|-|And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, |1|You are a |2|God who reveals Himself, for she said, |3|Do I even remain here after He has revealed Himself to me?
Gen.|16:14|-|Therefore the well was called |1|Beer-lahai-roi; there it is, between Kadesh and Bered.
Gen.|16:15|-|And |a|Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, |1|Ishmael.
Gen.|16:16|-|And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
