Genesis 16
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
16 Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. She had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar.
2 And Sarai said to Abram, See here, the Lord has restrained me from bearing [children]. I am asking you to have intercourse with my maid; it may be that I can obtain children by her. And Abram listened to and heeded what Sarai said.
3 So Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar her Egyptian maid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his [secondary] wife.
4 And he had intercourse with Hagar, and she became pregnant; and when she saw that she was with child, she looked with contempt upon her mistress and despised her.
5 Then Sarai said to Abram, May [the responsibility for] my wrong and deprivation of rights be upon you! I gave my maid into your bosom, and when she saw that she was with child, I was contemptible and despised in her eyes. May the Lord be the judge between you and me.
6 But Abram said to Sarai, See here, your maid is in your hands and power; do as you please with her. And when Sarai dealt severely with her, humbling and afflicting her, she [Hagar] fled from her.
7 But [a]the Angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness on the road to Shur.
8 And He said, Hagar, Sarai’s maid, where did you come from, and where are you intending to go? And she said, I am running away from my mistress Sarai.
9 The Angel of the Lord said to her, Go back to your mistress and [humbly] submit to her control.
10 Also the Angel of the Lord said to her, I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be numbered for multitude.
11 And the Angel of the Lord continued, See now, you are with child and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael [God hears], because the Lord has heard and paid attention to your affliction.
12 And he [Ishmael] will be as a [b]wild ass among men; his hand will be against every man and every man’s hand against him, and he will live to the east and on the borders of all his kinsmen.
13 So she called the name of the Lord Who spoke to her, You are a God of seeing, for she said, Have I [not] even here [in the wilderness] looked upon Him Who sees me [and lived]? Or have I here also seen [the future purposes or designs of] Him Who sees me?
14 Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi [A well to the Living One Who sees me]; it is [c]between Kadesh and Bered.
15 And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore [d]Ishmael.
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael.
Footnotes
- Genesis 16:7 “The Angel of the Lord” or “of God” or “of His presence” is readily identified with the Lord God (Gen. 16:11, 13; 22:11, 12; 31:11, 13; Exod. 3:1-6 and other passages). But it is obvious that the “Angel of the Lord” is a distinct person in Himself from God the Father (Gen. 24:7; Exod. 23:20; Zech. 1:12, 13 and other passages). Nor does the “Angel of the Lord” appear again after Christ came in human form. He must of necessity be One of the “three-in-one” Godhead. The “Angel of the Lord” is the visible Lord God of the Old Testament, as Jesus Christ is of the New Testament. Thus His deity is clearly portrayed in the Old Testament. The Cambridge Bible observes, “There is a fascinating forecast of the coming Messiah, breaking through the dimness with amazing consistency, at intervals from Genesis to Malachi. Abraham, Moses, the slave girl Hagar, the impoverished farmer Gideon, even the humble parents of Samson, had seen and talked with Him centuries before the herald angels proclaimed His birth in Bethlehem.”
- Genesis 16:12 “Nothing can be more descriptive of the wandering, lawless, freebooting life of the Arabs than this. From the beginning to the present they have kept their independence, and God preserves them as a lasting monument of His providential care and an incontestable argument of the truth of divine revelation. Had the books of Moses no other proof of their divine origin, the account of Ishmael and the prophecy concerning his descendants during a period of nearly 4,000 years would be sufficient. To attempt to refute it would be a most ridiculous presumption and folly” (Adam Clarke, The Holy Bible with A Commentary).
- Genesis 16:14 This, “it is between Kadesh and Bered,” is further proof of the antiquity of the original names, since the place had to be identified to the reader in the time of Moses.
- Genesis 16:15 Ishmael was the first person whom God named before his birth (Gen. 16:11). Others were: Isaac (Gen. 17:19); Josiah (I Kings 13:2); Solomon (I Chron. 22:9); Jesus (Matt. 1:21); and John the Baptist (Luke 1:13).

Hagar och Ismael
16 Abrams hustru Saraj hade inte fött några barn åt honom. Men hon hade en egyptisk slavinna som hette Hagar[a]. 2 Och Saraj sade till Abram: ”Se, Herren har gjort mig ofruktsam. Gå in till min slavinna. Kanske kan jag få barn genom henne[b].” Och Abram lyssnade till Sarajs ord. 3 När Abram hade bott tio år i Kanaans land[c], tog hans hustru Saraj sin egyptiska slavinna Hagar och gav henne till hustru åt sin man Abram. 4 Han gick in till Hagar och hon blev havande. Men när hon märkte att hon var havande, började hon förakta sin husmor.
5 Då sade Saraj till Abram: ”Den kränkning jag utsätts för ska komma över dig. Jag lade själv min slavinna i din famn, men när hon märkte att hon var havande började hon förakta mig. Herren får döma mellan mig och dig.” 6 Abram sade till Saraj: ”Se, din slavinna är i din hand. Gör med henne som du finner bäst.” När Saraj då bestraffade henne, flydde hon bort från henne.
7 Men Herrens ängel fann henne vid en vattenkälla i öknen, den källa som ligger vid vägen till Shur. 8 Han sade: ”Hagar, Sarajs slavinna, varifrån kommer du och vart går du?” Hon svarade: ”Jag är på flykt från min husmor Saraj.” 9 Då sade Herrens ängel till henne: ”Gå tillbaka till din husmor och ödmjuka dig under henne.” 10 Och Herrens ängel fortsatte: ”Jag ska göra dina efterkommande så talrika att man inte kan räkna dem.” 11 Sedan sade Herrens ängel till henne:
”Se, du är havande,
och du ska föda en son.
Du ska kalla honom Ismael[d],
för Herren har hört
hur du har lidit.
12 (A) Han ska vara som en vildåsna.
Hans hand ska vara mot alla
och allas hand mot honom.
Och han ska bo mitt emot[e]
alla sina bröder.”
13 Och hon gav ett namn åt Herren som hade talat med henne. Hon sade: ”Du är den Gud som ser mig”, för hon tänkte: ”Har jag här fått se en skymt av honom som ser mig?” 14 Därför kallar man brunnen Beer-Lahaj-Roi[f]. Den ligger mellan Kadesh och Bered.
15 (B) Hagar födde en son åt Abram. Och Abram gav sonen som Hagar fött namnet Ismael. 16 Abram var åttiosex år[g] när Hagar födde Ismael åt honom.

Hagar and Ishmael
16 Now Sarai,(A) Abram’s wife, had borne him no children.(B) But she had an Egyptian slave(C) named Hagar;(D) 2 so she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children.(E) Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.”(F)
Abram agreed to what Sarai said. 3 So after Abram had been living in Canaan(G) ten years,(H) Sarai his wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife. 4 He slept with Hagar,(I) and she conceived.
When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.(J) 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.”(K)
6 “Your slave is in your hands,(L)” Abram said. “Do with her whatever you think best.” Then Sarai mistreated(M) Hagar; so she fled from her.
7 The angel of the Lord(N) found Hagar near a spring(O) in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur.(P) 8 And he said, “Hagar,(Q) slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?”(R)
“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.”(S)
11 The angel of the Lord(T) also said to her:
“You are now pregnant
and you will give birth to a son.(U)
You shall name him(V) Ishmael,[a](W)
for the Lord has heard of your misery.(X)
12 He will be a wild donkey(Y) 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.(Z)”
13 She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,(AA)” for she said, “I have now seen[c] the One who sees me.”(AB) 14 That is why the well(AC) was called Beer Lahai Roi[d];(AD) it is still there, between Kadesh(AE) and Bered.
15 So Hagar(AF) bore Abram a son,(AG) and Abram gave the name Ishmael(AH) to the son she had borne. 16 Abram was eighty-six years old(AI) when Hagar bore him Ishmael.

Ажар и Исмоил
16 Сара, жена Иброма, не рожала ему детей. У неё была служанка из Египта по имени Ажар. 2 Сара сказала Иброму:
– Вечный не дал мне детей. Иди, ляг со служанкой: может быть, через неё у меня будут дети[a].
Ибром согласился с Сарой. 3 И вот, когда Ибром прожил в Ханоне десять лет, Сара, его жена, взяла свою служанку, египтянку Ажар, и отдала в жёны своему мужу. 4 Он лёг с Ажар, и она забеременела. Узнав, что беременна, Ажар начала презирать свою госпожу.
5 Тогда Сара сказала Иброму:
– Ты в ответе за то, что я терплю обиду. Я отдала служанку тебе на ложе, а теперь она знает, что беременна, и презирает меня. Пусть рассудит нас с тобой Вечный.
6 – Твоя служанка в твоих руках, – сказал Ибром. – Делай с ней всё, что хочешь.
Тогда Сара стала так притеснять Ажар, что та убежала от неё.
7 Ангел Вечного[b] нашёл Ажар в пустыне, неподалёку от источника; этот источник был рядом с дорогой к Суру.
8 Он спросил:
– Ажар, служанка Сары, откуда ты пришла и куда идёшь?
– Я бегу от моей госпожи Сары, – ответила она.
9 Тогда Ангел Вечного сказал ей:
– Возвратись к своей госпоже и покорись ей.
10 Ангел Вечного добавил:
– Я так умножу твоих потомков, что их невозможно будет сосчитать.
11 Ещё Ангел Вечного сказал ей:
– Ты теперь беременна и родишь сына. Назови его Исмоил («Всевышний слышит»), потому что Вечный услышал о твоём страдании. 12 Он будет подобен дикому ослу: он будет против всех, и все – против него, он будет жить во вражде со всеми своими братьями[c].
13 Вечному, Который говорил с ней, она дала имя «Всевышний, видящий меня», потому что она сказала:
– Сейчас я видела Того, Кто видит меня.
14 Вот почему тот колодец был назван Беэр-Лахай-Рои («колодец Живого, Видящего меня»); он и сейчас там, между Кадешем и Бередом. 15 И Ажар родила Иброму сына; и Ибром дал сыну, которого она родила, имя Исмоил.
16 Иброму было восемьдесят шесть лет, когда Ажар родила ему Исмоила.

Genesis 16
King James Version
16 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the Lord judge between me and thee.
6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
7 And the angel of the Lord found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
9 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
10 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
13 And she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
14 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
