Genesis 16:7–14

⁷Now ^athe angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to ^bShur.

⁸He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s maid, ^awhere have you come from and where are you going?” And she said, “I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai.”

⁹Then the angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself ¹to her authority.”

¹⁰Moreover, the ^aangel of the Lord said to her, “^bI will greatly multiply your ¹descendants so that ²they will be too many to count.”

¹¹The angel of the Lord said to her further,

“Behold, you are with child,

And you will bear a son;

And you shall call his name ¹Ishmael,

Because ^athe Lord ²has given heed to your affliction.

¹²“He will be a ^awild donkey of a man,

His hand will be against everyone,

And everyone’s hand will be against him;

And he will ¹live ^2bto the east of all his brothers.”

¹³Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “¹You are ²a God who sees”; for she said, “^aHave I even ³remained alive here after seeing Him?”

¹⁴Therefore the well was called ¹Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between ^aKadesh and Bered.
