The Angel of the LORD Appears to Hagar

7

And a messenger of Jehovah findeth her by the fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur,

8

and he saith, `Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, whence hast thou come, and whither dost thou go?' and she saith, `From the presence of Sarai, my mistress, I am fleeing.'

9

And the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Turn back unto thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hands;'

10

and the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Multiplying I multiply thy seed, and it is not numbered from multitude;'

11

and the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Behold thou art conceiving, and bearing a son, and hast called his name Ishmael, for Jehovah hath hearkened unto thine affliction;

12

and he is a wild-ass man, his hand against every one, and every one's hand against him--and before the face of all his brethren he dwelleth.'

13

And she calleth the name of Jehovah who is speaking unto her, `Thou art , O God, my beholder;' for she said, `Even here have I looked behind my beholder?'

14

therefore hath one called the well, `The well of the Living One, my beholder;' lo, between Kadesh and Bered.
