Sarai and Hagar

16 Now[fn] Sarai, the wife of Abram, had borne him no children. And she had a female Egyptian servant, and her namewas Hagar. 2 And Sarai said to Abram, “Look, please, Yahweh has prevented me from bearing children. Please go in to my servant; perhaps I will have children by her.”[fn] And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. 3 Then[fn] Sarai, the wife of Abram, took Hagar, her Egyptian servant, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband as his wife. 4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she[fn] saw that she had conceived, then her mistress grew small in her eyes. 5 And Sarai said to Abram, “may my harm be upon you. I had my servant sleep with you,[fn] andwhen she saw that she had conceived, she no longer respected me.[fn] May Yahweh judge between me and you!” 6 And Abram said to Sarai, “Look, your servant is under your authority.[fn] Do to her that whichis good in your eyes.” And Sarai mistreated her, and she[fn] fled from her presence.
