CHAPTER 16
Now Sarai Abram’s wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name
was
Hagar.
2
And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the L
ORD
hath restrained me from bearing:
I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened
to the voice of Sarai.
3
And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram
had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
4
And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her
mistress was despised in her eyes.
5
And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong
be
upon thee: I have
given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her
eyes: the L
ORD
judge between me and thee.
6
But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid
is
in
thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
7
And the angel of the L
ORD
found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain
in the way to Shur.
8
And he said, Hagar, Sarai’s maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou
go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
9
And the angel of the L
ORD
said unto
her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
10
And the angel of the L
ORD
said
unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11
And
the angel of the L
ORD
said unto her, Behold, thou
art
with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call
his name Ishmael; because the L
ORD
hath heard thy affliction.
12
And he will be a wild man; his
hand
will be
against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence
of all his brethren.
13
And she called the name of the L
ORD
that spake unto her, Thou God seest me:
for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
14
Wherefore the well was called
Beer-lahai-roi; behold,
it is
between Kadesh and Bered.
15
And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son’s name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
16
And Abram
was
fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
CHAPTER 17
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the L
ORD
appeared to Abram, and said unto him,
I
am
the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
2
And I will make my covenant
between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
3
And Abram fell on his face: and God
talked with him, saying,
4
As for me, behold, my covenant
is
with thee, and thou shalt be a father
of many nations.
5
Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham;
