Sarai and Hagar

1

Now  aSaraih8297, Abram'sh87 wifeh802 had borneh3205 him noh3808 children, and she had  ban Egyptianh4713 maidh8198 whose nameh8034 was Hagarh1904.

2

So Saraih8297 saidh559 to Abramh87, "Nowh4994 beholdh2009, the LORDh3068 has preventedh6113 me from bearingh3205 children.  aPleaseh4994 goh935 in to my maidh8198; perhapsh194 I will  1obtainh1129 childrenh1129 throughh4480 her." And Abramh87 listenedh8085 to the voiceh6963 of Saraih8297.

3

Afterh4480 Abramh87 had  1livedh3427  atenh6235 yearsh8141 in the landh776 of Canaanh3667a, Abram'sh87 wifeh802 Saraih8297 tookh3947 Hagarh1904 the Egyptianh4713, her maidh8198, and gaveh5414 her to her husbandh376 Abramh87 as his wifeh802.

4

He wenth935 in to Hagarh1904, and she conceivedh2029; and when she sawh7200 that she had conceivedh2029, her mistressh1404 was despisedh7043 in her sighth5869.

5

And Saraih8297 saidh559 to Abramh87, " aMay the wrongh2555 done me be upon you. I gaveh5414 my maidh8198 into your  1armsh2436, but when she sawh7200 that she had conceivedh2029, I was despisedh7043 in her  2sighth5869.  bMay the LORDh3068 judgeh8199 betweenh996  3you and me."

6

But Abramh87 saidh559 to Saraih8297, "Beholdh2009, your maidh8198 is in your  1powerh3027; doh6213a to her whath2896a is goodh2896a in your  2sighth5869." So Saraih8297 treatedh6031a her harshlyh6031a, and  ashe fledh1272 from her presenceh6440.

7

Now  athe angelh4397 of the LORDh3068 foundh4672 her by a springh5871a of waterh4325 in the wildernessh4057b, by the springh5871a on the wayh1870 to  bShurh7793.

8

He saidh559, "Hagarh1904, Sarai'sh8297 maidh8198,  awhereh335h2088 have you comeh935 from and whereh575 are you goingh1980?" And she saidh559, "I am fleeingh1272 from the presenceh6440 of my mistressh1404 Saraih8297."

9

Then the angelh4397 of the LORDh3068 saidh559 to her, "Returnh7725 to your mistressh1404, and submith6031a yourself  1to her authorityh3027."

10

Moreover, the  aangelh4397 of the LORDh3068 saidh559 to her, " bI will greatlyh7235a multiplyh7235a your  1descendantsh2233 so that  2they will be tooh3808 manyh7230 to counth5608."

11

The angelh4397 of the LORDh3068 saidh559 to her further, "Beholdh2009, you are with childh2030, And you will bearh3205 a sonh1121; And you shall callh7121 his nameh8034  1Ishmaelh3458, Becauseh3588  athe LORDh3068  2has givenh8085 heedh8085 to your afflictionh6040a.

12

"He will be a  awildh6501 donkeyh6501 of a manh120, His handh3027 will be against everyoneh3605, And everyone'sh3605 handh3027 will be against him; And he will  1liveh7931  2 bto the easth6440 of allh3605 his brothersh251."

13

Then she calledh7121 the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068 who spokeh1696 to her, " 1You are  2a Godh410 whoh7210 seesh7200"; for she saidh559, " aHave I evenh1571  3remainedh7200 aliveh7200 hereh1988 afterh310 seeingh7210 Him?"

14

Thereforeh5921h3651 the wellh875 was calledh7121  1Beer-lahai-roih883; beholdh2009, it is betweenh996  aKadeshh6946 and Beredh1260.

15

So Hagarh1904 boreh3205 Abramh87 a sonh1121; and Abramh87 calledh7121 the nameh8034 of his sonh1121, whomh834 Hagarh1904 boreh3205, Ishmaelh3458.

16

Abramh87 was  aeighty-sixh8084 yearsh8141 oldh1121 when Hagarh1904 boreh3205 Ishmaelh3458 to  1him.
