Now Sarai
Abram's
wife bare
him no children :
and
she had an handmaid,
an
Egyptian ,
whose
name
was
Hagar.
Now Abram’s
wife Sarai
had
borne
him no children ,
but
she had an Egyptian maidservant
named
Hagar.
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.
So
Sarai said to
Abram, “Look
now, the LORD has
prevented
me from bearing children.
Please
go to
my maidservant
; perhaps
I can
build
a
family
by her. ”
And Abram listened
to the voice of Sarai.
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.
So
after he
had lived
in Canaan for
ten
years
, his
wife
Sarai
took
her
Egyptian
maidservant
Hagar
and gave her to Abram to be his wife.
And he went
in
unto
Hagar, and she conceived :
and
when she
saw
that she had
conceived
, her mistress was
despised
in
her
eyes
.
And he slept
with
Hagar, and she conceived .
But
when Hagar
realized
that she was
pregnant
, she
began
to
despise
her mistress.
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
.
Then
Sarai said to
Abram, “May
the
wrong done
to
me
be upon you!
I delivered
my servant
into your
arms,
and ever
since
she saw that she was pregnant,
she
has
treated
me
with
contempt.
May
the LORD judge between you
and me
. ”
But
Abram
said
unto
Sarai
, Behold
, thy
maid
is in thine
hand;
do to
her as
it
pleaseth
thee
. And
when
Sarai dealt
hardly
with
her,
she fled from her face
.
“Here
, ”
said
Abram
, “your
servant
is in your
hands.
Do whatever
you
want
with
her. ”
Then
Sarai treated
Hagar
so
harshly
that
she fled from her.
And
the angel of the LORD found her
by a fountain
of water in the wilderness,
by
the fountain
in
the way
to Shur.
Now
the angel of the LORD found Hagar
by a spring
of water in the desert—
the spring
along
the road
to Shur.
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.
“Hagar,
servant
of
Sarai,”
he said, “where
have
you
come
from
, and where
are
you
going
? ”
“
I am
running
away
from my mistress Sarai ,”
she
replied
.
And
the angel of the LORD said
unto
her, Return to thy
mistress ,
and submit thyself
under
her hands
.
So
the angel of the LORD told
her, “
Return to your
mistress and submit to
her authority
. ”
And
the angel of
the
LORD
said
unto
her
, I will multiply thy
seed
exceedingly,
that it
shall
not
be numbered
for
multitude
.
Then
the angel added
, “
I will greatly
multiply your
offspring
so
that they
will
be too
numerous
to
count
. ”
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.
The angel of the LORD proceeded:
“
Behold, you
have
conceived
and will
bear a son .
And you
shall
name him
Ishmael ,
for
the LORD has
heard your
cry
of
affliction.
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
.
He will be a wild donkey
of
a
man ,
and
his hand will be against everyone
, and everyone’s
hand against him; he will
live
in hostility
toward
all his brothers
. ”
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 ?
So
Hagar
gave
this
name to
the LORD who
had
spoken
to
her :
“You
are
the
God who
sees
me ,”
for she said, “
Here I
have
seen
the
One
who
sees
me !”
Wherefore
the well was called Beerlahairoi;
behold,
it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Therefore
the well was called Beer-lahai-roi.
It is located
between Kadesh and Bered.
And Hagar bare
Abram a son :
and Abram called
his
son's
name ,
which
Hagar
bare,
Ishmael.
And Hagar bore
Abram a son ,
and Abram gave
the
name Ishmael to
the
son
she
had
borne
.
And
Abram was fourscore
and
six years old ,
when Hagar bare
Ishmael to Abram
.
Abram was eighty-
six years old when Hagar bore
Ishmael to him
.
