Now Sarai,
Abram's
wife ,
bare
him no children :
and
she had a
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, Jehovah
hath
restrained
me from bearing ;
go in,
I
pray
thee,
unto
my handmaid
; it
may
be
that
I shall
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
the
Egyptian,
her
handmaid,
after Abram
had dwelt
ten
years
in the
land
of
Canaan, and gave her to Abram her
husband
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 gave
my handmaid
into they
bosom;
and when
she saw that she had
conceived,
I
was despised
in
her
eyes:
Jehovah
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 thy
hand;
do to
her that
which
is
good
in
thine
eyes
. And
Sarai dealt
hardly
with
her,
and
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 Jehovah
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
handmaid
, whence
camest
thou?
and whither
goest
thou
? And
she
said,
I am fleeing
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 Jehovah
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
Jehovah
said
unto
her
, I will greatly multiply thy
seed,
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 Jehovah
said
unto
her,
Behold, thou
art
with
child,
and shalt
bear a son ;
and thou
shalt
call
his
name Ishmael, because
Jehovah
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 shall
be `as'
a wild ass
among
men;
his hand `shall
be '
against every
man
, and every
man's
hand against him; and
he shall
dwell
over
against
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
Jehovah
that
spake
unto
her ,
Thou
art
a
God
that
seeth
: for she said, Have
I
even
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 Beer-lahai-roi ;
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
the name of
his
son,
whom
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
.
