Genesis 16:1-5

1Now 1Sarai, Abram’s wife had borne him no children, and she had 2an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar.

2So Sarai said to Abram, “Now behold, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children. 3Please go in to my maid; perhaps I will 4obtain children through her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

3After Abram had 5lived 6ten years in the land of Canaan, Abram’s wife Sarai took Hagar the Egyptian, her maid, and gave her to her husband Abram as his wife.

4He went in to Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her sight.

5And Sarai said to Abram, “7May the wrong done me be upon you. I gave my maid into your 8arms, but when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her 9sight. 10May the Lord judge between 11you and me.”
