01:015:017 And it came to pass, that, when the sun
went down, and it was
dark,
behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed
between
those pieces.
01:015:018 In the same day the lord made a covenant
with Abram, saying,
Unto
thy seed have I given this land, from the river of
Egypt
unto
the great river, the river Euphrates:
01:015:019 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
01:015:020 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
01:015:021 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and
the Girgashites, and
the
Jebusites.
01:016:001 Now Sarai Abram’s wife bare him no
children: and she had an
handmaid,
an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
01:016:002 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.
01:016:003 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.
01:016:004 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived:
and when she saw
that
she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her
eyes.
01:016:005 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.
01:016:006 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.
01:016:007 And the angel of the lord found her
by a fountain of water in
the
wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
01:016:008 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.
01:016:009 And the angel of the lord said unto
her, Return to thy
mistress,
and submit thyself under her hands.
01:016:010 And the angel of the lord said unto
her, I will multiply thy
seed
exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
01:016:011 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.
01:016:012 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.
