1 Now Abram's wife Sarai had borne him no children, but she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar. | C | TOSK | TT |
2 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. | C | TOSK |
3 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. | C | TOSK |
4 And he slept with Hagar, and she conceived. But when Hagar realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress. | C | TOSK |
5 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." | C | TOSK |
6 "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. | C | TOSK |
7 Now the angel of the LORD found Hagar by a spring of water in the desert—the spring along the road to Shur. | C | TOSK |
8 "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. | C | TOSK |
9 So the angel of the LORD told her, "Return to your mistress and submit to her authority." | C | TOSK |
10 Then the angel added, "I will greatly multiply your offspring so that they will be too numerous to count." | C | TOSK |
11 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. | C | TOSK |
12 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." | C | TOSK |
13 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!" | C | TOSK |
14 Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi. It is located between Kadesh and Bered. | C | TOSK |
15 And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne. | C | TOSK | TT |
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to him. | C | TOSK |
