1Now Sarai <08297>, Abram’s <087> wife <0802>, had not <03808> given birth <03205> to any children, but she had an Egyptian <04713> servant <08198> named <08034> Hagar <01904>.
2So Sarai <08297> said <0559> to <0413> Abram <087>, “Since <02009> the Lord <03068> has prevented <06113> me from having children <03205>, have sexual relations <0935> with <0413> my servant <08198>. Perhaps <0194> I can have a family <01129> by <04480> her.” Abram <087> did <08085> what Sarai <08297> told <06963> him.
3So after <07093> Abram <087> had lived <03427> in Canaan <03667> <0776> for ten <06235> years <08141>, Sarai <08297>, Abram’s <087> wife <0802>, gave <03947> Hagar <01904>, her Egyptian <04713> servant <08198>, to her husband <0582> to be <05414> his <087> wife <0802>.
4He had sexual relations <0935> with <0413> Hagar <01904>, and she became pregnant <02029>. Once Hagar realized <07200> she was pregnant <02029>, she despised <07043> Sarai <01404>.
5Then Sarai <08297> said <0559> to <0413> Abram <087>, “You have brought this wrong <02555> on <05921> me! I <0595> allowed <05414> my servant <08198> to have sexual relations <02436> with you, but when she realized <07200> that <03588> she was pregnant <02029>, she despised <07043> me. May the Lord <03068> judge <08199> between <0996> you and me!”
6Abram <087> said <0559> to <0413> Sarai <08297>, “Since your servant <08198> is under your authority <03027>, do <06213> to her whatever you think <05869> best <02896>.” Then Sarai treated <06031> Hagar harshly <06031>, so she ran away <01272> from Sarai <08297>.
7The Lord’s <03068> angel <04397> found <04672> Hagar near <05921> a spring <05869> of water <04325> in <05921> the desert <04057>– the spring <05869> that is along the road <01870> to Shur <07793>.
8He said <0559>, “Hagar <01904>, servant <08198> of Sarai <08297>, where <0335> have you come <0935> from, and where <0575> are you going <01980>?” She replied <0559>, “I’m <0595> running away <01272> from <06440> my mistress <01404>, Sarai <08297>.”
9Then the Lord’s <03068> angel <04397> said <0559> to her, “Return <07725> to <0413> your mistress <01404> and submit <06031> to her authority <03027>.
10I will greatly multiply <07235> <07235> your descendants <02233>,” the Lord’s <03068> angel <04397> added <0559>, “so that they will be too <03808> numerous <07230> to count <05608>.”
11Then the Lord’s <03068> angel <04397> said <0559> to her, “You are now <02009> pregnant <02030> and are about to give birth <03205> to a son <01121>. You are to name <08034> <07121> him Ishmael <03458>, for <03588> the Lord <03068> has heard <08085> your painful groans <06040>.
12He <01931> will be <01961> a wild donkey <06501> of a man <0120>. He will be hostile to everyone <03605>, and everyone <03605> will be hostile <05921> to him. He will live <07931> away from <06440> his brothers <0251>.”
13So Hagar named <08034> <07121> the Lord <03068> who spoke <01696> to <0413> her, “You <0859> are the God <0410> who sees <07210> me,” for <03588> she said <0559>, “Here <01988> I have seen <07200> one who sees <07200> me!”
14That is why <03651> the well <0875> was called <07121> Beer Lahai Roi <0883>. (It is located <02009> between <0996> Kadesh <06946> and <0996> Bered <01260>.)
15So Hagar <01904> gave birth <03205> to Abram’s <087> son <01121>, whom <0834> Abram <087> named <08034> <07121> Ishmael <03458>.
16(Now Abram <087> was 86 <08337> <08141> <08084> years <08141> old <01121> when Hagar <01904> gave birth <03205> to Ishmael <03458>.)
