Hagar and Ishmael
1 Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, ahad borne him no children. And she had ban Egyptian maidservant whose name was cHagar.
2 aSo Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the Lord bhas restrained me from bearing children. Please, cgo in to my maid; perhaps I shall1 obtain children by her.” And Abram dheeded the voice of Sarai.
3 Then Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife, after Abram ahad dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan.
4 So he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress became adespised in her eyes.
5 Then Sarai said to Abram, “My wrong be upon you! I gave my maid into your embrace; and when she saw that she had conceived, I became despised in her eyes. aThe Lord judge between you and me.”
