1NowH802 SaraiH8297 Abram’sH87 wifeH802 bare him noH3808 childrenH3205: and sheH3808 had an handmaid, an EgyptianH4713, whoseH8034 nameH8034 was HagarH1904.

2And SaraiH8297 saidH559 unto AbramH87, BeholdH2009 nowH4994, the LORDH3068 hath restrainedH6113 meH413 from bearingH3205; goH935 in, I prayH4994 thee, unto my handmaid; it may be that I shall obtainH1129 childrenH3205 by herH413. And AbramH87 hearkened to the voiceH6963 of SaraiH8297.

3And SaraiH8297 Abram’sH87 wifeH802 tookH3947 HagarH1904 the EgyptianH4713, herH3947 handmaid, afterH7093 AbramH87 had dweltH3427 tenH6235 yearsH8141 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and gaveH5414 herH3947 to AbramH87 herH3947 husbandH376 to be his wifeH802.

4And he wentH935 in unto HagarH1904, and sheH3588 conceivedH2029: and when sheH3588 sawH7200 that sheH3588 had conceivedH2029, herH413 mistressH1404 was despisedH7043 in herH413 eyesH5869.
