1 And Sarai, wife of Abram, had not borne to him; and to her [was] a maidservant, an Egyptianess, and her name [was] Hagar. VP
2 And Sarai said to Abram, “Behold now, YHWH has restrained me from bearing. Go in, please, to my maidservant; perhaps I shall be built up from her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. VP
3 And Sarai, wife of Abram, took Hagar the Egyptianess, her maidservant, at the end of ten years [of] Abram’s dwelling in the land of Canaan, and she gave her to Abram her husband, to him for a wife. VP
4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived; and she saw that she had conceived, and her mistress became light in her eyes. VP
5 And Sarai said to Abram, “My violence [is] upon you! I, I gave my maidservant into your bosom, and she saw that she had conceived, and I became light in her eyes. May YHWH judge between me and between you.” VP
6 And Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your maidservant [is] in your hand. Do to her the good in your eyes.” And Sarai afflicted her, and she fled from her face. VP
7 And the angel of YHWH found her by the spring of waters in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur. VP
8 And he said, “Hagar, maidservant of Sarai, from where [is] this [that] you have come, and where are you going?” And she said, “From the face of Sarai my mistress I am fleeing.” VP
9 And the angel of YHWH said to her, “Return to your mistress and afflict yourself under her hands.” VP
10 And the angel of YHWH said to her, “I will surely multiply your seed, and it shall not be counted for multitude.” VP
11 And the angel of YHWH said to her, “Behold, you [are] pregnant, and you shall bear a son, and you shall call his name Ishmael, for YHWH has listened to your affliction. VP
12 And he shall be a wild donkey of a man; his hand against all, and the hand of all against him, and upon the face of all his brothers he shall dwell.” VP
13 And she called the name of YHWH, the One speaking to her, “You [are] El-Roi,” for she said, “Even here I have seen after the One seeing me?” VP
14 Upon thus the well was called Beer-lahai-roi. Behold, [it is] between Kadesh and between Bered. VP
15 And Hagar bore to Abram a son, and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael. VP
16 And Abram [was] a son of eighty years and six years when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram. VP
