Genesis 16:5-10 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

5. And Sarai said to Abram, "May the wrong done me be upon you. I gave my maid into your arms, but when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her sight. May the Lord judge between you and me."

6. But Abram said to Sarai, "Behold, your maid is in your power; do to her what is good in your sight." So Sarai treated her harshly, and she fled from her presence.

7. Now the angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.

8. He said, "Hagar, Sarai's maid, where have you come from and where are you going?" And she said, "I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai."

9. Then the angel of the Lord said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself to her authority."

10. Moreover, the angel of the Lord said to her, "I will greatly multiply your descendants so that they will be too many to count."
