Genesis 16:7-14

7Now the angelH4397 1 of the LORDH3068 foundH4672 Hagar byH5921 a springH5869 of waterH4325 in the desertH4057 H5921—the springH5869 along the roadH1870 to ShurH7793. 8“HagarH1904, servantH8198 of SaraiH8297,” he saidH559, “whereH335 H2088 have you come fromH935, and whereH575 are you goingH1980?”

“I amH595 running awayH1272 fromH6440 my mistressH1404 SaraiH8297,” she repliedH559.

9So the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 toldH559 her, “ReturnH7725 toH413 your mistressH1404 and submitH6031 to her authorityH8478 H3027.” 10Then the angelH4397 H3068 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 himH7121 H8034 IshmaelH3458,2forH3588 the LORDH3068 H413 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 meH7210,3” forH3588 she saidH559, “HereH1988 I haveH1571 seenH7200 H310 the One who sees meH7200!” 14ThereforeH5921 H3651 the wellH875 was calledH7121 Beer-lahai-roiH883.4 It is locatedH2009 betweenH996 KadeshH6946 H996 and BeredH1260.
