Genesis 16:1-4
1Now SaraiH8297, Abram’s wifeH802, bare him no childrenH3205: and she had a handmaid, an EgyptianH4713, whose nameH8034 was HagarH1904.
2And SaraiH8297 saidH559 unto AbramH87, Behold now, Jehovah hath restrainedH6113 me from bearingH3205; goH935 in, I pray thee, unto my handmaid; it may be that I shall obtain childrenH3205 by her. And AbramH87 hearkened to the voiceH6963 of SaraiH8297.
3And SaraiH8297, Abram’s wifeH802, tookH3947 HagarH1904 the EgyptianH4713, her handmaid, after AbramH87 had dweltH3427 tenH6235 yearsH8141 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and gaveH5414 her to AbramH87 her husbandH376 to be his wifeH802.
4And he wentH935 in unto HagarH1904, and she conceivedH2029: and when she sawH7200 that she had conceivedH2029, her mistressH1404 was despised in her eyesH5869.
