Genesis 16:11-16
New International Version
11 The angel of the Lord(A) also said to her:
“You are now pregnant
and you will give birth to a son.(B)
You shall name him(C) Ishmael,[a](D)
for the Lord has heard of your misery.(E)
12 He will be a wild donkey(F) of a man;
his hand will be against everyone
and everyone’s hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
toward[b] all his brothers.(G)”
13 She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,(H)” for she said, “I have now seen[c] the One who sees me.”(I) 14 That is why the well(J) was called Beer Lahai Roi[d];(K) it is still there, between Kadesh(L) and Bered.
15 So Hagar(M) bore Abram a son,(N) and Abram gave the name Ishmael(O) to the son she had borne. 16 Abram was eighty-six years old(P) when Hagar bore him Ishmael.
