1Now 1SaraiH8297, Abram’sH87 wifeH802, had not borneH3205 him aH3205 childH3205, but she had 2an EgyptianH4713 slaveH8198 womanH8198 whose nameH8034 was HagarH1904.

2So SaraiH8297 saidH559 to AbramH87, “SeeH2009 nowH4994, the LordH3068 has preventedH6113 me from bearingH3205 children. 3PleaseH4994 haveH935 relationsH935 withH935 my slaveH8198 womanH8198; perhapsH194 I will 4obtainH1129 childrenH1129 throughH4480 her.” And AbramH87 listenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of SaraiH8297.
