9And the angelH4397 of YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto her, ReturnH7725 to thy mistressH1404, and submitH6031 thyself under her handsH3027.

10And the angelH4397 of YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto her, I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 exceedinglyH7235, that it shall not be numberedH5608 for multitudeH7230.

11And the angelH4397 of YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto her, BeholdH2009, thou art with childH2030, and shalt bearH3205 a sonH1121, and shalt callH7121 his nameH8034 IshmaelH3458; because YhwhH3068 hath heardH8085 thy afflictionH6040.1

12And he will be a wildH6501 manH120; his handH3027 will be against every man, and every man’s handH3027 against him; and he shall dwellH7931 in the presenceH6440 of all his brethrenH251.

13And she calledH7121 the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068 that spakeH1696 unto her, Thou GodH410 seest meH7210: for she saidH559, Have I also hereH1988 lookedH7200 after himH310 that seeth meH7210?
