Genesis 16:9-13

9So the angel of the LORD told her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her authority.” 10Then the angel added, “I will greatly multiply your offspring so that they will be too numerous to count.”

11The angel of the LORD proceeded:

“Behold, you have conceived and will bear a son.And you shall name him Ishmael,1for the LORD has heard your cry of affliction.12He will be a wild donkey of a man,and his hand will be against everyone,and everyone’s hand against him;he will live in hostilitytoward all his brothers.”

13So Hagar gave this name to the LORD who had spoken to her: “You are the God who sees me,2” for she said, “Here I have seen the One who sees me!”
