7And the angel of the Lord having found her, by a fountain of water in the wilderness, which is in the way to Sur in the desert,

8He said to her: Agar, handmaid of Sarai, whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? And she answered: I flee from the face of Sarai, my mistress.

9And the angel of the Lord said to her: Return to thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hand.

10And again he said: I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, and it shall not be numbered for multitude.

11And again: Behold, said he, thou art with child, and thou shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Ismael, because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.

12He shall be a wild man: his hand will be against all men, and all men’s hands against him: and he shall pitch his tents over against all his brethren.

13And she called the name of the Lord that spoke unto her: Thou the God who hast seen me. For she said: Verily, here have I seen the hinder parts of him that seeth me.

14Therefore she called that well, the well of him that liveth and seeth me. The same is between Cades and Barad.
