Passage: Genesis 16:8-12 (RSV)


Genesis 16


8And he said, "Hagar, maid of Sar'ai, where have you come from and where are you going?" She said, "I am fleeing from my mistress Sar'ai."
9The angel of the LORD said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit to her."
10The angel of the LORD also said to her, "I will so greatly multiply your descendants that they cannot be numbered for multitude."
11And the angel of the LORD said to her, "Behold, you are with child, and shall bear a son; you shall call his name Ish'mael; because the LORD has given heed to your affliction.
12He shall be a wild ass of a man, his hand against every man and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen."
