Genesis 16 Sarai, Abram's wife, bare him no children. But she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Sarai, Abram's wife, bare him no children. But she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. ² Wherefore she said unto Abram, "Behold the LORD hath closed me, that I can not bear. I pray thee go in unto my maid, peradventure I shall be multiplied by means of her." And Abram heard the voice of Sarai. ³ Then Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar her maid the Egyptian — after Abram had dwelled ten years in the land of Canaan — and gave her to her husband Abram, to be his wife. ⁴ And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived her mistress was despised in her sight. ⁵ Then said Sarai unto Abram, "Thou dost me unright, for I have given my maid into thy bosom: and now because she seeth that she hath conceived, I am despised in her sight: the LORD judge between thee and me." ⁶ Then said Abram to Sarai, "Behold, thy maid is in thy hand, do with her as it pleaseth thee." And because Sarai fared foul with her, she fled from her. ⁷ And the Angel of the LORD found her beside a fountain of water in the wilderness: even by a well in the way to Shur. ⁸ And he said, "Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence comest thou and whither wilt thou go?" And she answered, "I flee from my mistress Sarai." ⁹ And the Angel of the LORD said unto her, "Return to thy mistress again, and submit thyself under her hands." ¹⁰ And the angel of the LORD said unto her, "I will so increase thy seed, that it shall not be numbered for multitude." ¹¹ And the LORD's angel said further unto her, "See, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael: because the LORD hath heard thy tribulation. ¹² He will be a wild man, and his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him. And yet shall he dwell fast by all his brethren." ¹³ And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, "Thou art the God that lookest on me," for she said, "I have of a surety seen here the back parts of him that seeth me." ¹⁴ Wherefore she called the well, "the well of the living that seeth me" which well is between Kadesh and Bered. ¹⁵ And Hagar bare Abram a son, and Abram called his son's name which Hagar bare, Ishmael. ¹⁶ And Abram was eighty six years old, when Hagar bare him Ishmael.
