7. The Lord’s angel found her by a spring in the wilderness, the spring on the road to Shur,
8. and he asked, “Hagar, maid of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?” She answered, “I am running away from my mistress, Sarai.”
9. But the Lord’s angel told her: “Go back to your mistress and submit to her authority.
10. I will make your descendants so numerous,” added the Lord’s angel, “that they will be too many to count.”
11. Then the Lord’s angel said to her:“You are now pregnant and shall bear a son;you shall name him Ishmael,For the Lord has heeded your affliction.
12. He shall be a wild ass of a man,his hand against everyone,and everyone’s hand against him;Alongside all his kindredshall he encamp.”
13. To the Lord who spoke to her she gave a name, saying, “You are God who sees me”; she meant, “Have I really seen God and remained alive after he saw me?”
14. That is why the well is called Beer-lahai-roi. It is between Kadesh and Bered.
15. Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram named the son whom Hagar bore him Ishmael.
16. Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore him Ishmael.
