Hagar and Ishmael
Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. And she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar.
Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. And she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar.
so she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.”
Abram agreed to what Sarai said.
Abram agreed to what Sarai said.
So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife.
Then Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan.
He slept with Hagar, and she conceived.
When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.
When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.
Then Sarai said to Abram, “You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my slave in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the Lord judge between you and me.”
“Your slave is in your hands,” Abram said. “Do with her whatever you think best.” Then Sarai mistreated Hagar; so she fled from her.
So Abram said to Sarai, “Indeed your maid is in your hand; do to her as you please.” And when Sarai dealt harshly with her, she fled from her presence.
The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur.
Now the Angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.
And he said, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?”
“I’m running away from my mistress Sarai,” she answered.
“I’m running away from my mistress Sarai,” she answered.
And He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s maid, where have you come from, and where are you going?”
She said, “I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai.”
She said, “I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai.”
Then the angel of the Lord told her, “Go back to your mistress and submit to her.”
The Angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hand.”
The angel added, “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count.”
Then the Angel of the Lord said to her, “I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude.”
He shall be a wild man;
His hand shall be against every man,
And every man’s hand against him.
And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”
His hand shall be against every man,
And every man’s hand against him.
And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”
So Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.
So Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
