Genesis 16:10-12

10Moreover, the 1angel of the Lord said to her, “2I will greatly multiply your 3descendants so that 4they will be too many to count.” 11The angel of the Lord said to her further, “Behold, you are with child, And you will bear a son; And you shall call his name 5Ishmael, Because 6the Lord 7has given heed to your affliction.12He will be a 8wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, And everyone’s hand will be against him; And he will 9live 1011to the east of all his brothers.”
