And Sarai [the] wife of Abram not she had borne children to him and [belonged] to her a maidservant Egyptian and name her [was] Hagar.
2 And Sara said to Abram, Behold, the Lord has restrained me from bearing, go therefore in to my maid, that I may get children for myself through her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sara.
And she said Sarai to Abram here! please he has restrained me Yahweh from bearing children go please into maidservant my perhaps I will be built up (from her *LBH(a)*) and he listened Abram to [the] voice of Sarai.

And he went into Hagar and she conceived and she saw that she had conceived and she became insignificant mistress her in view her.
5 And Sara said to Abram, I am injured by you; I gave my handmaid into your bosom, and when I saw that she was with child, I was dishonoured before her. The Lord judge between me and you.
And she said Sarai to Abram injustice my [is] on you I I put maidservant my in bosom your and she has seen that she had conceived and I have become insignificant in view her may he judge Yahweh between me and between you.
6 And Abram said to Sara, Behold your handmaid is in your hands, use her as it may seem good to you. And Sara afflicted her, and she fled from her face.
And he said Abram to Sarai there! maidservant your [is] in hand your do to her the good in view your and she afflicted her Sarai and she fled from before her.
7 And an angel of the Lord found her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Sur.
And he found her [the] angel of Yahweh at [the] spring of water in the wilderness at the spring on [the] way of Shur.
8 And the angel of the Lord said to her, Agar, Sara's maid, whence come you, and wither go you? and she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sara.
And he said O Hagar [the] maidservant of Sarai where? from this have you come and where? are you going and she said from before Sarai mistress my I [am] fleeing.
9 And the angel of the Lord said to her, Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.
And he said to her [the] angel of Yahweh return to mistress your and humble yourself under hands her.
10 And the angel of the Lord said to her, I will surely multiply your seed, and it shall not be numbered for multitude.
And he said to her [the] angel of Yahweh certainly I will increase offspring your and not it will be counted from multitude.
11 And the angel of the Lord said to her, Behold you are with child, and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ismael, for the Lord has listened to your humiliation.
