Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Genesis 16
⁵ Then Sarai said to Abram, "My wrong be upon you! I gave my maid into your embrace; and when she saw that she had conceived, I became despised in her eyes. The Lord judge between you and me."
⁶ 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.
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 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."
⁹ The Angel of the Lord said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hand."
¹⁰ Then the Angel of the Lord said to her, "I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude."
¹¹ And the Angel of the Lord said to her: "Behold, you are with child, And you shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, Because the Lord has heard your affliction.
¹² 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."
¹³ Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, "Have I also here seen Him who sees me?"
¹⁴ Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi; observe, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
¹⁵ So Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
