Hagar and the Angel of Yahweh

7 And the angel of Yahweh found her at a spring of water in the wilderness, at the spring by the road of Shur. 8 And he said to Hagar, the servant of Sarai, “From where[fn] have you come, and where are you going?” And she said, “I am fleeing from the presence of Sarai my mistress.” 9 Then[fn] the angel of Yahweh said to her, “Return to your mistress and submit yourself underher authority.”[fn] 10 And the angel of Yahweh said to her, “I will greatly multiply[fn] your offspring, so that they cannot be counted fortheir abundance.”

• 11 And the angel of Yahweh said to her:“Behold, you are pregnant
  • and shall have a son.
• And you shall call his name Ishmael,
  • for Yahweh has listened to your suffering.
  • 12  his hand will be against everyone,
  • and the hand of everyone will be against him,
• and he will live[fn]

13 So[fn] she called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her, “Youare El-Roi,”[fn] for she said, “Here I have seen after he who sees me.” 14 Therefore the well was called Beer-Lahai-Roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered. 15 And Hagar had a child for Abram, a son. And Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore to him, Ishmael. 16 And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
