Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לָהּ֙ מַלְאַ֣ךְ יְהוָ֔ה
and=he/it_said to/for=her/it angel YHWH
Some languages do not include the quote margins here and in verse 11, because the angel is still talking to Hagar. However, the repeated quote margins could be there to emphasize what the angel says next and/or to show that he paused or that he is changing the topic. Alternate translation: “Then the angel told her,” or “Then he added”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְלֹ֥א יִסָּפֵ֖ר
and=not counted
Alternate translation: “there will be too many to count,”
מֵרֹֽב
for,many
Alternate translation: “because of their large number.”
