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

⁷ The angel of Jehovah found Hagar near a spring in the desert. It was the spring that is beside the road to Shur. ⁸ He said: Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going? I am running away from my mistress Sarai, she answered.

⁹ Then the angel of Jehovah told her: Go back to your mistress and submit to her. ¹⁰ I will so increase your descendants that they will be too numerous to count.

¹¹ Jehovah's angel also said: You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael (means: God hears). Jehovah has heard of your misery. ¹² He (Ishmael) will be a wild donkey of a man. His hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him. He will live in hostility toward all his brothers.

¹³ She called the name of Jehovah, who spoke to her: You are the God who sees me, for she said, 'I have not seen the one who sees me.' ¹⁴ That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi (Well of the Living One Who Sees Me). It is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.

¹⁵ Hagar bore Abram a son. Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.

¹⁶ Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore him Ishmael.
