Genesis 16:1-6 - Sarai And Hagar

¹ Sarai, Abram's wife, bare him no children. But she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. ² Wherefore she said unto Abram, "Behold the LORD hath closed me, that I can not bear. I pray thee go in unto my maid, peradventure I shall be multiplied by means of her." And Abram heard the voice of Sarai. ³ Then Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar her maid the Egyptian - after Abram had dwelled ten years in the land of Canaan - and gave her to her husband Abram, to be his wife. ⁴ And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived her mistress was despised in her sight. ⁵ Then said Sarai unto Abram, "Thou dost me unright, for I have given my maid into thy bosom: and now because she seeth that she hath conceived, I am despised in her sight: the LORD judge between thee and me."

⁶ Then said Abram to Sarai, "Behold, thy maid is in thy hand, do with her as it pleaseth thee." And because Sarai fared foul with her, she fled from her.
