7And the angelH4397 of Jehovah foundH4672 her by a fountain of waterH4325 in the wildernessH4057, by the fountain in the wayH1870 to ShurH7793. 8And he saidH559, HagarH1904, Sarai’s handmaid, whence camest thou? and whither goest thou? And she saidH559, I am fleeingH1272 from the faceH6440 of my mistressH1404 SaraiH8297. 9And the angelH4397 of Jehovah saidH559 unto her, ReturnH7725 to thy mistressH1404, and submit thyself under her handsH3027. 10And the angelH4397 of Jehovah saidH559 unto her, I will greatlyH7235 multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233, that it shall not be numbered for multitudeH7230. 11And the angelH4397 of Jehovah saidH559 unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bearH3205 a sonH1121; and thou shalt callH7121 his nameH8034 IshmaelH3458, because Jehovah hath heardH8085 thy affliction.
