16:1 And
Sarai,
Abram's
wife,
hath
not
borne
to
him,
and
she
hath
an
handmaid,
an
Egyptian,
and
her
name
[is]
Hagar;
16:2 and
Sarai
saith
unto
Abram,
`Lo,
I
pray
thee,
Jehovah
hath
restrained
me
from
bearing,
go
in,
I
pray
thee,
unto
my
handmaid;
perhaps
I
am
built
up
from
her;'
and
Abram
hearkeneth
to
the
voice
of
Sarai.
16:3 And
Sarai,
Abram's
wife,
taketh
Hagar
the
Egyptian,
her
handmaid,
at
the
end
of
the
tenth
year
of
Abram's
dwelling
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
giveth
her
to
Abram
her
husband,
to
him
for
a
wife,
16:4 and
he
goeth
in
unto
Hagar,
and
she
conceiveth,
and
she
seeth
that
she
hath
conceived,
and
her
mistress
is
lightly
esteemed
in
her
eyes.
16:5 And
Sarai
saith
unto
Abram,
`My
violence
[is]
for
thee;
I--I
have
given
mine
handmaid
into
thy
bosom,
and
she
seeth
that
she
hath
conceived,
and
I
am
lightly
esteemed
in
her
eyes;
Jehovah
doth
judge
between
me
and
thee.'
16:6 And
Abram
saith
unto
Sarai,
`Lo,
thine
handmaid
[is]
in
thine
hand,
do
to
her
that
which
is
good
in
thine
eyes;'
and
Sarai
afflicted
her,
and
she
fleeth
from
her
presence.
16:7 And
a
messenger
of
Jehovah
findeth
her
by
the
fountain
of
water
in
the
wilderness,
by
the
fountain
in
the
way
[to]
Shur,
16:8 and
he
saith,
`Hagar,
Sarai's
handmaid,
whence
hast
thou
come,
and
whither
dost
thou
go'
and
she
saith,
`From
the
presence
of
Sarai,
my
mistress,
I
am
fleeing.'
16:9 And
the
messenger
of
Jehovah
saith
to
her,
`Turn
back
unto
thy
mistress,
and
humble
thyself
under
her
hands;'
16:10 and
the
messenger
of
Jehovah
saith
to
her,
`Multiplying
I
multiply
thy
seed,
and
it
is
not
numbered
from
multitude;'
16:11 and
the
messenger
of
Jehovah
saith
to
her,
`Behold
thou
[art]
conceiving,
and
bearing
a
son,
and
hast
called
his
name
Ishmael,
for
Jehovah
hath
hearkened
unto
thine
affliction;
16:12 and
he
is
a
wild-ass
man,
his
hand
against
every
one,
and
every
one's
hand
against
him--and
before
the
face
of
all
his
brethren
he
dwelleth.'
16:13 And
she
calleth
the
name
of
Jehovah
who
is
speaking
unto
her,
`Thou
[art]
,
O
God,
my
beholder;'
for
she
said,
`Even
here
have
I
looked
behind
my
beholder'
16:14 therefore
hath
one
called
the
well,
`The
well
of
the
Living
One,
my
beholder;'
lo,
between
Kadesh
and
Bered.
16:15 And
Hagar
beareth
to
Abram
a
son;
and
Abram
calleth
the
name
of
his
son,
whom
Hagar
hath
borne,
Ishmael;
16:16 and
Abram
[is]
a
son
of
eighty
and
six
years
in
Hagar's
bearing
Ishmael
to
Abram.
