Genesis 16:7-16
7Now 1the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 foundH4672 her by a springH5871 of waterH4325 in the wildernessH4057, by the springH5871 on the wayH1870 to 2ShurH7793. 8He saidH559, “HagarH1904, Sarai’sH8297 maidH8198, 3whereH335H2088 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 4to her authorityH3027.” 10Moreover, the 5angelH4397 of the LordH3068 saidH559 to her, “6I will greatlyH7235 multiplyH7235 your 7descendantsH2233 so that 8they will be tooH3808 manyH7230 to countH5608.” 11The angelH4397 of the LordH3068 saidH559 to her further, “BeholdH2009, you are with childH2030, And you will bearH3205 a sonH1121; And you shall callH7121 his nameH8034 9IshmaelH3458, BecauseH3588 10the LordH3068 11has givenH8085 heedH8085 to your afflictionH6040.12He will be a 12wildH6501 donkeyH6501 of a manH120, His handH3027 will be against everyoneH3605, And everyone’sH3605 handH3027 will be against him; And he will 13liveH7931 1415to the eastH6440 of allH3605 his brothersH251.” 13Then she calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 who spokeH1696 to her, “16You are 17a GodH410 whoH7210 seesH7200”; for she saidH559, “18Have I evenH1571 19remainedH7200 aliveH7200 hereH1988 afterH310 seeingH7210 Him?” 14ThereforeH5921H3651 the wellH875 was calledH7121 20Beer-lahai-roiH883; beholdH2009, it is betweenH996 21KadeshH6946 and BeredH1260.
15So HagarH1904 boreH3205 AbramH87 a sonH1121; and AbramH87 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of his sonH1121, whomH834 HagarH1904 boreH3205, IshmaelH3458. 16AbramH87 was 22eighty-sixH8084 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when HagarH1904 boreH3205 IshmaelH3458 to 23him.
