Genesis 16:9-14 (Listen)

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, g“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

hbecause the Lord has listened to your affliction.

12 He shall be ia wild donkey of a man,

his hand against everyone

and everyone's hand against him,

and he shall dwell jover 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, k“Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.”3 14 Therefore the well was called lBeer-lahai-roi;4 it lies between mKadesh and Bered.
