Genesis 16:7-16 - Hagar And The Angel Of Yahweh

⁷ The Angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur. ⁸ He said, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?”

She replied, “I’m running away from my mistress Sarai.”

⁹ Then the Angel of the Lord said to her, “You must go back to your mistress and submit to her mistreatment.” ¹⁰ The Angel of the Lord also said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, and they will be too many to count.”

¹¹ Then the Angel of the Lord said to her:

You have conceived and will have a son.
You will name him Ishmael,
for the Lord has heard your cry of affliction.
¹² This man will be like a wild donkey.
His hand will be against everyone,
and everyone’s hand will be against him;
he will live at odds with all his brothers.

¹³ So she called the Lord who spoke to her: The God Who Sees, for she said, “In this place, have I actually seen the One who sees me?” ¹⁴ That is why she named the spring, “A Well of the Living One Who Sees Me.” It is located between Kadesh and Bered.

¹⁵ So Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son Hagar had.

¹⁶ Abram was 86 years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to him.
