⁷ The angel of the Lord^(A) found Hagar near a spring^(B) in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur.^{(C) 8} And he said, “Hagar,^(D) slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?”^(E)

“I’m running away from my mistress Sarai,” she answered.

⁹ Then the angel of the Lord told her, “Go back to your mistress and submit to her.” ¹⁰ The angel added, “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count.”^(F)

¹¹ The angel of the Lord^(G) also said to her:

¹³ She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,^(A)” for she said, “I have now seen^[a] the One who sees me.”^(B)

¹⁴ Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar.^(A) He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the Desert of Beersheba.^(B)

¹⁵ When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes.

¹⁷ God heard the boy crying,^(A) and the angel of God^(B) called to Hagar from heaven^(C) and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid;^(D) God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. ¹⁸ Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.^(E)”

¹⁹ Then God opened her eyes^(F) and she saw a well of water.^(G) So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
