Genesis 16.
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.679
Now Sarah, Abram's wife, had borne him no children.
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.399
She had a female Egyptian servant whose name was Hagar.
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:24.079
And Sarah said to Abram, Behold, now the Lord has prevented me from bearing children.
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:25.839
Go into my servant.
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:28.719
It may be that I shall obtain children by her.
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:31.519
And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:41.679
So after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarah, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, and gave her to Abram, her husband, as a wife.
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.240
And he went into Hagar, and she conceived.
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:47.679
And when she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress.
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.280
And Sarah said to Abram, May the wrong done to me be on you.
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:56.719
I gave my servant to your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked on contempt, on me with contempt.
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:58.479
May the Lord judge between you and me.
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.159
But Abram said to Sarah, Behold, your servant's in your power, do it to her as you please.
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:06.079
Then Sarah dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her.
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:15.439
The angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring of the way to Shur, and he said, Hagar, sir, Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:17.599
She said, I am fleeing from my mistress Sarah.
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:20.400
The angel of the Lord said to her, Return to your mistress and submit to her.
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:25.760
The angel of the Lord also said to her, I will surely multiply your offspring so that they cannot be numbered for multitude.
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:34.799
And the angel of the Lord said to her, Behold, you are pregnant, shall bear a son, and you shall call his name Ishmael, because the Lord has listened to your affliction.
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:42.799
He shall be a wild donkey of a man, his hand against everyone, and everyone's hand against him, and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:47.359
So she called the name of the Lord, who spoke to her, You are a God of seeing.
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.280
For she said, Truly, here I have seen him who looks after me.
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.359
Therefore the well was called Beer Lahiroi.
00:01:55.519 --> 00:02:04.400
It lies between Kadesh and Bared, and Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram called the name of his son, whom A Hagar bore Ishmael.
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:09.520
Abram was eighty-six year old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:11.759
This is the word of the Lord.
