1And SaraiH8297 Abram's wifeH802 did not bearH3205 him [childrenH3205]. And she had an EgyptianH4713 maidservantH8198; and her nameH8034 was HagarH1904.

2And SaraiH8297 saidH559 to AbramH87, Behold now, Jehovah has shutH6113 me up, that I do not bearH3205. GoH935 in, I pray thee, to my maidservantH8198: it may be that I shall be builtH1129 up by her. And AbramH87 hearkened to the voiceH6963 of SaraiH8297.
