God’s Word Translation
Genesis 16:7-11
7The Messenger of the Lord found her by a spring in the desert, the spring on the way to Shur.
8He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s slave, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She answered, “I’m running away from my owner Sarai.”
9The Messenger of the Lord said to her, “Go back to your owner, and place yourself under her authority.”
10The Messenger of the Lord also said to her, “I will give you many descendants. No one will be able to count them because there will be so many.”
11Then the Messenger of the Lord said to her, “You are pregnant, and you will give birth to a son. You will name him Ishmael [God Hears], because the Lord has heard your cry of distress.
