Genesis 16:9-13

9And the angel of Yhwh said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

10And the angel of Yhwh said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

11And the angel of Yhwh said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because Yhwh hath heard thy affliction.1

12And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

13And she called the name of Yhwh that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
