RF GEN 16:1 Sarai advises Abram to marry Hagar.
Sarai, Abram's wife, had given him no children, but she had an Egyptian maid named Hagar.
RF GEN 16:2 So Sarai said to Abram, "See, now, the EVER-LIVING has kept me childless, therefore go to my maid, perhaps she will have a son for me." And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
RF GEN 16:3 Therefore Sarai, the wife of Abram, took Hagar the Egyptian maid, at the end of the tenth year of Abram's residence in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband, as a wife.
RF GEN 16:4 So he went to Hagar, and she conceived; when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despicable in her eyes.
RF GEN 16:5 Then Sarai said to Abram, "My wrong came from you. I gave my maid to you as wife, and she sees that she has conceived, and I am despicable in her eyes. Let the EVER-LIVING decide between me and you."
RF GEN 16:6 Abram answered Sarai, "Well, your maid is under your hand; do to her whatever you consider right." So Sarai persecuted her, and she fled from her presence.
RF GEN 16:7 A messenger of the EVER-LIVING met her, however, at the Well of Waters in the Desert, at the Well by the road to the Wall,1
RF GEN 16:8 and asked, "Hagar, servant of Sarai, where are you going, and what are you weeping for?" And she answered, "I am flying from the hand of Sarai, my mistress."
RF GEN 16:9 But the messenger of the EVER-LIVING said, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself to her."
RF GEN 16:10 The EVER-LIVING'S, messenger further said to her, "I will greatly increase your race, so that they cannot be numbered for multitude."
RF GEN 16:11 The EVER-LIVING'S messenger also continued, "You are now with child, and you will give birth to a son, and you must call his name Ishmael, 2 for GOD heard your sorrow.
RF GEN 16:12 And he shall be a free man; his hand shall be with every man, and the hand of every man with him, and he shall stand up in the presence of all his brothers."
RF GEN 16:13 She accordingly called the name of the EVER-LIVING Who spoke to her. "You—are the GOD I saw; I can say this, for I have lived after He appeared to me."
RF GEN 16:14 So the well was named "the Well of the Vision of Life." It is situated between Kadesh and Bend:
RF GEN 16:15 And Hagar gave birth to a son to Abram, and Abram called the name of his son by her, Ishmael.
RF GEN 16:16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael to Abram.
