Genesis 16:6-9

6But AbramH87 saidH559 to SaraiH8297, “BeholdH2009, your maidH8198 is in your 1powerH3027; doH6213 to her whatH2896 is goodH2896 in your 2sightH5869.” So SaraiH8297 treatedH6031 her harshlyH6031, and 3she fledH1272 from her presenceH6440.

7Now 4the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 foundH4672 her by a springH5871 of waterH4325 in the wildernessH4057, by the springH5871 on the wayH1870 to 5ShurH7793. 8He saidH559, “HagarH1904, Sarai’sH8297 maidH8198, 6whereH335H2088 have you comeH935 from and whereH575 are you goingH1980?” And she saidH559, “I am fleeingH1272 from the presenceH6440 of my mistressH1404 SaraiH8297.” 9Then the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 saidH559 to her, “ReturnH7725 to your mistressH1404, and submitH6031 yourself 7to her authorityH3027.”
