1
However, when Sarah attempted to correct Hagar, Hagar grew angry and determined to return unto her father's people; wherefore she departed into the wilderness.
2
But an angel of the Lord met her by a well where she stopped to rest and he said unto her, Hagar, daughter of Sarah, who gave thee unto her husband Abraham and took thee into her own bed that thou mightest raise up seed unto her, why art thou thus fleeing into the wilderness from the camp of Abraham?
3
And Hagar replied, I am returning to the land of my father for it grieveth me to be bound to Sarah.
4
And the angel of the Lord said to her, Return unto Sarah and be subject unto her for she is given to thee to be a mother unto thee and this seed is hers as well as yours.
5
The Lord will multiply thy seed exceedingly so that it shall not be numbered for multitude and thou shalt bear a son and shall call his name Ishmael, because the Lord hath heard thy prayers and answered them.
6
He will be a man of the desert and a man of war; nevertheless, many shall join themselves unto him and his people shall be great.
