Genesis 16:8-12
8“HagarH1904, servantH8198 of SaraiH8297,” he saidH559, “whereH335H2088 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 authorityH8478H3027.” 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.”
