16:7 The Lord’s angel 6 found Hagar near a spring of water in the desert – the spring that is along the road to Shur. 7 16:8 He said, “Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She replied, “I’m running away from 8 my mistress, Sarai.”
16:9 Then the Lord’s angel said to her, “Return to your mistress and submit 9 to her authority. 16:10 I will greatly multiply your descendants,” the Lord’s angel added, 10 “so that they will be too numerous to count.” 11 16:11 Then the Lord’s angel said to her,
“You are now 12 pregnant
and are about to give birth 13 to a son.
You are to name him Ishmael, 14
for the Lord has heard your painful groans. 15
16:12 He will be a wild donkey 16 of a man.
He will be hostile to everyone, 17
and everyone will be hostile to him. 18
He will live away from 19 his brothers.”
16:13 So Hagar named the Lord who spoke to her, “You are the God who sees me,” 20 for she said, “Here I have seen one who sees me!” 21
18:1 The Lord appeared to Abraham 22 by the oaks 23 of Mamre while 24 he was sitting at the entrance 25 to his tent during the hottest time of the day.
48:15 Then he blessed Joseph and said,
“May the God before whom my fathers
Abraham and Isaac walked –
the God who has been my shepherd 27
all my life long to this day,
48:16 the Angel 28 who has protected me 29
from all harm –
bless these boys.
May my name be named in them, 30
and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac.
May they grow into a multitude on the earth.”
