1 Now Sarai, Abram’s wife had borne him no children, and she had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar. 2 So Sarai said to Abram, “Now behold, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go in to my maid; perhaps I willaobtain children through her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. 3 After Abram hadblived ten years in the land of Canaan, Abram’s wife Sarai took Hagar the Egyptian, her maid, and gave her to her husband Abram as his wife. 4 He went in to Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her sight. 5 And Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong done me be upon you. I gave my maid into yourcarms, but when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in herdsight. May the LORD judge betweeneyou and me.” 6 But Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your maid is in yourfpower; do to her what is good in yourgsight.” So Sarai treated her harshly, and she fled from her presence. | |
7 Now the angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur. 8 He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s maid, where have you come from and where are you going?” And she said, “I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai.” 9 Then the angel of the LORD said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourselfhto her authority.” 10 Moreover, the angel of the LORD said to her, “I will greatly multiply youridescendants so thatjthey will be too many to count.” 11 The angel of the LORD said to her further, “Behold, you are with child, And you will bear a son; And you shall call his namekIshmael, Because the LORDlhas given heed to your affliction. 12 “He will be a wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, And everyone’s hand will be against him; And he willmlivento the east of all his brothers.” | |
15 So Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael. 16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael toshim. |
