Chapter 16
Gene LEB 16:1  Now Sarai, the wife of Abram, had borne him no children. And she had a female Egyptian servant, and her name was Hagar.
Gene LEB 16:2  And Sarai said to Abram, “Look, please, Yahweh has prevented me from bearing children. Please go in to my servant; perhaps ⌞I will have children by her⌟.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
Gene LEB 16:3  Then Sarai, the wife of Abram, took Hagar, her Egyptian servant, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband as his wife.
Gene LEB 16:4  And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, then her mistress grew small in her eyes.
Gene LEB 16:5  And Sarai said to Abram, “may my harm be upon you. ⌞I had my servant sleep with you⌟, and when she saw that she had conceived, ⌞she no longer respected me⌟. May Yahweh judge between me and you!”
Gene LEB 16:6  And Abram said to Sarai, “Look, your servant is ⌞under your authority⌟. Do to her that which is good in your eyes.” And Sarai mistreated her, and she fled from her presence.
Gene LEB 16:7  And the angel of Yahweh found her at a spring of water in the wilderness, at the spring by the road of Shur.
Gene LEB 16:8  And he said to Hagar, the servant of Sarai, “⌞From where⌟ have you come, and where are you going?” And she said, “I am fleeing from the presence of Sarai my mistress.”
Gene LEB 16:9  Then the angel of Yahweh said to her, “Return to your mistress and submit yourself under ⌞her authority⌟.”
Gene LEB 16:10  And the angel of Yahweh said to her, “⌞I will greatly multiply⌟ your offspring, so that they cannot be counted for their abundance.”
Gene LEB 16:11  And the angel of Yahweh said to her: “Behold, you are pregnant and shall have a son. And you shall call his name Ishmael, for Yahweh has listened to your suffering.
Gene LEB 16:12  And he shall be a wild donkey of a man, his hand will be against everyone, and the hand of everyone will be against him, and he will live ⌞in hostility with all his brothers⌟.”
Gene LEB 16:13  So she called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her, “You are El-Roi,” for she said, “Here I have seen after he who sees me.”
Gene LEB 16:14  Therefore the well was called Beer-Lahai-Roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Gene LEB 16:15  And Hagar had a child for Abram, a son. And Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore to him, Ishmael.
Gene LEB 16:16  And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
