Genesis 16:1-14

16:1

Now Sarai
<08297>

Abram's
<087>

wife
<0802>

bare
<03205> (0)

him no
<03808>

children
<03205> (8804)_:

and she had an handmaid
<08198>_,

an Egyptian
<04713>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Hagar
<01904>_.

16:2

And Sarai
<08297>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abram
<087>_,

Behold now, the LORD
<03068>

hath restrained me
<06113> (8804)

from bearing
<03205> (8800)_:

I pray thee, go in
<0935> (8798)

unto my maid
<08198>_;

it may
<0194>

be that I may obtain children
<01129> (8735)

by her. And Abram
<087>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

to the voice
<06963>

of Sarai
<08297>_.

{obtain...: Heb. be built by her}

16:3

And Sarai
<08297>

Abram's
<087>

wife
<0802>

took
<03947> (8799)

Hagar
<01904>

her maid
<08198>

the Egyptian
<04713>_,

after
<07093>

Abram
<087>

had dwelt
<03427> (8800)

ten
<06235>

years
<08141>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

her to her husband
<0376>

Abram
<087>

to be his wife
<0802>_.

16:4

And he went in
<0935> (8799)

unto Hagar
<01904>_,

and she conceived
<02029> (8799)_:

and when she saw
<07200> (8799)

that she had conceived
<02029> (8804)_,

her mistress
<01404>

was despised
<07043> (8799)

in her eyes
<05869>_.

16:5

And Sarai
<08297>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abram
<087>_,

My wrong
<02555>

[be] upon thee: I have given
<05414> (8804)

my maid
<08198>

into thy bosom
<02436>_;

and when she saw
<07200> (8799)

that she had conceived
<02029> (8804)_,

I was despised
<07043> (8799)

in her eyes
<05869>_:

the LORD
<03068>

judge
<08199> (8799)

between me and thee.

16:6

But Abram
<087>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Sarai
<08297>_,

Behold, thy maid
<08198>

[is] in thy hand
<03027>_;

do
<06213> (8798)

to her as it pleaseth thee
<02896> <05869>_.

And when Sarai
<08297>

dealt hardly with
<06031> (8762)

her, she fled
<01272> (8799)

from her face
<06440>_.

{as...: Heb. that which is good in thine eyes} {dealt...: Heb. afflicted her}

16:7

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

found her
<04672> (8799)

by a fountain
<05869>

of water
<04325>

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

by the fountain
<05869>

in the way
<01870>

to Shur
<07793>_.

16:8

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hagar
<01904>_,

Sarai's
<08297>

maid
<08198>_,

whence
<0335>

camest thou
<0935> (8804)_?

and whither wilt thou go
<03212> (8799)_?

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

I flee
<01272> (8802)

from the face
<06440>

of my mistress
<01404>

Sarai
<08297>_.

16:9

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Return
<07725> (8798)

to thy mistress
<01404>_,

and submit
<06031> (8690)

thyself under her hands
<03027>_.

16:10

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, I will multiply
<07235> (8686)

thy seed
<02233>

exceedingly
<07235> (8687)_,

that it shall not be numbered
<05608> (8735)

for multitude
<07230>_.

16:11

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Behold
<02009>_,

thou [art] with child
<02030>_,

and shalt bear
<03205> (8802)

a son
<01121>_,

and shalt call
<07121> (8804)

his name
<08034>

Ishmael
<03458>_;

because the LORD
<03068>

hath heard
<08085> (8804)

thy affliction
<06040>_.

{Ishmael: that is, God shall hear}

16:12

And he will be a wild
<06501>

man
<0120>_;

his hand
<03027>

[will be] against every man, and every man's hand
<03027>

against him; and he shall dwell
<07931> (8799)

in the presence
<06440>

of all his brethren
<0251>_.

16:13

And she called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

that spake
<01696> (8802)

unto her, Thou God
<0410>

seest me
<07210>_:

for she said
<0559> (8804)_,

Have I also here
<01988>

looked
<07200> (8804)

after him
<0310>

that seeth me
<07210>_?

16:14

Wherefore the well
<0875>

was called
<07121> (8804)

Beerlahairoi
<0883> <02416>_;

behold, [it is] between Kadesh
<06946>

and Bered
<01260>_.

{Beerlahairoi: that is, The well of him that liveth and seeth me}
