Genesis 16:9-13

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. 12And he shall beH1961 as a wildH6501 ass among menH120; his handH3027 shall beH1961 against every manH120, and every man’sH120 handH3027 against him; and he shall dwellH7931 over against all his brethren. 13And she calledH7121 the nameH8034 of Jehovah that spake unto her, Thou art a GodH410 that seeth: for she saidH559, Have I even hereH1988 lookedH7200 after him that seeth me?
