Genesis 16:1-4
1Now Abram’sH87 wifeH802 SaraiH8297 had borneH3205 him noH3808 children, but she had an EgyptianH4713 maidservantH8198 namedH8034 HagarH1904. 2So SaraiH8297 saidH559 toH413 AbramH87, “LookH2009 nowH4994, the LORDH3068 has prevented meH6113 from bearingH3205 children. PleaseH4994 goH935 toH413 my maidservantH8198; perhapsH194 I can build a familyH1129 by herH4480.”
And AbramH87 listenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of SaraiH8297. 3So afterH7093 he had livedH3427 in CanaanH776H3667 for tenH6235 yearsH8141, his wifeH802 SaraiH8297 tookH3947 her EgyptianH4713 maidservantH8198 HagarH1904 and gaveH5414 herH853 to AbramH87 to be his wifeH802. 4And he slept withH935H413 HagarH1904, and she conceivedH2029. But when Hagar realizedH7200 thatH3588 she was pregnantH2029, she began to despiseH7043H5869 her mistressH1404.1
