Genesis 16

1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no children: and she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name [was] Hagar.

And Sara the wife of Abram bore him no children; and she had an Egyptian maid, whose name was Agar.

2 And Sarai said to Abram, Behold, now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee go in to my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

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.

3 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.

So Sara the wife of Abram having taken Agar the Egyptian her handmaid, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Chanaan, gave her to Abram her husband as a wife to him.

4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

And he went in to Agar, and she conceived, and saw that she was with child, and her mistress was dishonoured before her.

5 And Sarai said to 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.

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.

6 But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy maid [is] in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.

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.

7 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

And an angel of the Lord found her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Sur.

8 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.

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.

9 And the angel of the LORD said to her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

And the angel of the Lord said to her, Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.

10 And the angel of the LORD said to her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

And the angel of the Lord said to her, I will surely multiply your seed, and it shall not be numbered for multitude.

11 And the angel of the LORD said to her, Behold, thou [art] with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.

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.

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.

He shall be a wild man, his hands against all, and the hands of all against him, and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

13 And she called the name of the LORD that spoke to her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?

And she called the name of the Lord God who spoke to her, You are God who see me; for she said, For I have openly seen him that appeared to me.

14 Wherefore the well was called Beer-la-hai-roi; behold, [it is] between Kadesh and Bered.

Therefore she called the well, The well of him whom I have openly seen; behold it is between Cades and Barad.

15 And Hagar bore Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bore, Ishmael.

And Agar bore a son to Abram; and Abram called the name of his son which Agar bore to him, Ismael.

16 And Abram [was] eighty six years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

And Abram was eighty-six years old, when Agar bore Ismael to Abram.
