Now Sarai
Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an
handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
02 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now,
the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: I pray
thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may
obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to
the voice of Sarai.
03 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her
maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten
years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her
husband Abram to be his wife.
04 And he went in unto Hagar, and she
conceived: and when she saw that she had
conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
05 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be
upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom;
and when she saw that she had conceived, I was
despised in her eyes: the Lord judge between me
and thee.
06 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy
maid is in thine hand; do to her as it pleaseth
thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she
fled from her face.
07 And the angel of the Lord found her by a
fountain of water in the wilderness, by the
fountain in the way to Shur.

08 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence
camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she
said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.

09 And the angel of the Lord said unto her,
Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under
her hands.
10 And the angel of the Lord said unto her,
I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it
shall not be numbered for multitude.
11 And the angel of the Lord said unto her,
Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son,
and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord
hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will
be against every man, and every man's hand
against him; and he shall dwell in the presence
of all his brethren.
13 And she called the name of the Lord that
spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said,
Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
14 Wherefore the well was called
Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and
Bered.
15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram
called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
16 And Abram was fourscore and six years
old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
