Genesis 16:1-4

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.

3And so afterH4480 AbramH87 had livedH3427 5tenH6235 yearsH8141 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, Abram’sH87 wifeH802 SaraiH8297 tookH3947 HagarH1904 the EgyptianH4713, her slaveH8198 womanH8198, and gaveH5414 her to her husbandH376 AbramH87 as his wifeH802.

4Then he hadH935 relationsH935 withH935 HagarH1904, and she conceivedH2029; and when Hagar becameH7200 awareH7200 that she had conceivedH2029, her mistressH1404 wasH7043 insignificantH7043 in her sightH5869.
