Read Bible Book Of Genesis Chapter 16 In Online
1 - Now Sarai, Abram's Wife, Had Borne Him No Children. But She Had An Egyptian Maidservant Named Hagar;
2 - So She Said To Abram, "The Lord Has Kept Me From Having Children. Go, Sleep With My Maidservant; Perhaps I Can Build A Family Through Her." Abram Agreed To What Sarai Said.
3 - So After Abram Had Been Living In Canaan Ten Years, Sarai His Wife Took Her Egyptian Maidservant Hagar And Gave Her To Her Husband To Be His Wife.
4 - He Slept With Hagar, And She Conceived. When She Knew She Was Pregnant, She Began To Despise Her Mistress.
5 - Then Sarai Said To Abram, "You Are Responsible For The Wrong I Am Suffering. I Put My Servant In Your Arms, And Now That She Knows She Is Pregnant, She Despises Me. May The Lord Judge Between You And Me."
6 - "Your Servant Is In Your Hands," Abram Said. "Do With Her Whatever You Think Best." Then Sarai Mistreated Hagar; So She Fled From Her.
7 - The Angel Of The Lord Found Hagar Near A Spring In The Desert; It Was The Spring That Is Beside The Road To Shur.
8 - And He Said, "Hagar, Servant Of Sarai, Where Have You Come From, And Where Are You Going?" "I'm Running Away From My Mistress Sarai," She Answered.
10 - The Angel Added, "I Will So Increase Your Descendants That They Will Be Too Numerous To Count."
11 - The Angel Of The Lord Also Said To Her: "You Are Now With Child And You Will Have A Son. You Shall Name Him Ishmael, For The Lord Has Heard Of Your Misery.
12 - He Will Be A Wild Donkey Of A Man; His Hand Will Be Against Everyone And Everyone's Hand Against Him, And He Will Live In Hostility Toward All His Brothers."
13 - She Gave This Name To The Lord Who Spoke To Her: "You Are The God Who Sees Me," For She Said, "I Have Now Seen The One Who Sees Me."
