When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.^{(B) 5} Then Sarai said to Abram, “You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my slave in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the Lord judge between you and me.”^(C)

⁶ “Your slave is in your hands,^(D)” Abram said. “Do with her whatever you think best.” Then Sarai mistreated^(E) Hagar; so she fled from her.

⁶ Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter,^(I) and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” ⁷ And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”^(J)
