7 cThe dangel of the Lord found her by a espring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur. 8 And he said, “Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai.” 9 The angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her.” 10 The angel of the Lord also said to her, f“I will surely multiply your offspring so that they cannot be numbered for multitude.” 11 And the angel of the Lord said to her,
“Behold, you are pregnant
and shall bear a son.
You shall call his name Ishmael,1
gbecause the Lord has listened to your affliction.
12 He shall be a hwild donkey of a man,
his hand against everyone
and everyone’s hand against him,
and ihe shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.”
13 So she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are a God of seeing,”2 for she said, “Truly here I have jseen him who looks after me.”3 14 Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi;4 it lies between Kadesh and Bered.
