New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Genesis 15
²¹ and the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Girgashite and the Jebusite."
Genesis 16
¹ Now Sarai, Abram’s wife had borne him no children, and she had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar.
² So Sarai said to Abram, "Now behold, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children. Please go in to my maid; perhaps I will obtain children through her." And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
³ After Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Abram’s wife Sarai took Hagar the Egyptian, her maid, and gave her to her husband Abram as his wife.
⁴ He went in to Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her sight.
⁵ And Sarai said to Abram, "May the wrong done me be upon you. I gave my maid into your arms, but when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her sight. May the Lord judge between you and me."
⁶ But Abram said to Sarai, "Behold, your maid is in your power; do to her what is good in your sight." So Sarai treated her harshly, and she fled from her presence.
⁷ Now the angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.
⁸ He said, "Hagar, Sarai’s maid, where have you come from and where are you going?" And she said, "I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai."
⁹ Then the angel of the Lord said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself to her authority."
¹⁰ Moreover, the angel of the Lord said to her, "I will greatly multiply your descendants so that they will be too many to count."
