Genesis 16 5-13 Then Sarai said to Abram, “it’s all your fault. For now this servant girl of mine despises me, though I myself gave her the priviledge of being your wife. May the Lord judge you for doing this to me!” 6″You have my permission to punish the girl as you see fit,” Abram replied. So Sarai beat her and she ran away. ⁷ The Angel of thr Lord found her beside a desert spring along the road to Shur.
8 The Angel: “Hagar, Sarai’s maid, where have you come from and where are you going?” Hagar: “I am running away from my mistress.”
9-12 The Angel: “Return to your mistress and act as you should, for I will make you into a great nation. Yes, you are pregnant amd your baby will be a son, and you are to name him Ishmael (‘God hears’), because God has heard your woes. This son of yours will be a wild one-free and untamed as a wild ass! He will be against everyone, and everyone will feel the same towards him. But he will live near the rest of his kin.” TLBV
