Genesis 16:10-14

10Then the angelH4397H3068 addedH559, “I will greatly multiplyH7235 your offspringH2233 so thatH3808 they will be too numerousH7230 to countH5608.”

11The angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 proceededH559:

“BeholdH2009, you have conceivedH2030 and will bearH3205 a sonH1121.And you shall name himH7121H8034 IshmaelH3458,1forH3588 the LORDH3068H413 has heardH8085 your cry of afflictionH6040.12HeH1931 will beH1961 a wild donkeyH6501 of a manH120,and his handH3027 will be against everyoneH3605,and everyone’sH3605 handH3027 against him;he will liveH7931 in hostilityH5921towardH6440 allH3605 his brothersH251.”

13So Hagar gaveH7121 this nameH8034 to the LORDH3068 who had spokenH1696 to herH413: “You areH859 the GodH410 who sees meH7210,2” forH3588 she saidH559, “HereH1988 I haveH1571 seenH7200H310 the One who sees meH7200!” 14ThereforeH5921H3651 the wellH875 was calledH7121 Beer-lahai-roiH883.3 It is locatedH2009 betweenH996 KadeshH6946H996 and BeredH1260.
