6And Abram said, The woman is in your power; do with her whatever seems good to you. And Sarai was cruel to her, so that she went running away from her.
7And an angel of the Lord came to her by a fountain of water in the waste land, by the fountain on the way to Shur.
8And he said, Hagar, Sarai's servant, where have you come from and where are you going? And she said, I am running away from Sarai, my master's wife.
9And the angel said to her, Go back, and put yourself under her authority.
10And the angel of the Lord said, Your seed will be greatly increased so that it may not be numbered.
11And the angel of the Lord said, See, you are with child and will give birth to a son, to whom you will give the name Ishmael, because the ears of the Lord were open to your sorrow.
12And he will be like a mountain ass among men; his hand will be against every man and every man's hand against him, and he will keep his place against all his brothers.
