Genesis 16:7–14

⁷Now the ^mAngel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, ⁿby the spring on the way to ^oShur. ⁸And 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.”

⁹The Angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and ^psubmit yourself under her hand.” ¹⁰Then the Angel of the Lord said to her, ^q“I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude.” ¹¹And the Angel of the Lord said to her:

“Behold, you are with child,

^rAnd you shall bear a son.

You shall call his name ⁴Ishmael,

Because the Lord has heard your affliction.

^12sHe shall be a wild man;

His hand shall be against every man,

And every man’s hand against him.

^tAnd he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”

¹³Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, You-Are-⁵the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, “Have I also here ⁶seen Him ^uwho sees me?” ¹⁴Therefore the well was called ^vBeer Lahai Roi; ⁷observe, it is ^wbetween Kadesh and Bered.
