4. Abram slept with Hagar, and she became pregnant. When Hagar realized this, she became very proud and began to feel that she was better than Sarai her owner.
5. Then Sarai said to Abram, “My slave girl now hates me, and I blame you for this. I gave her to you, and she became pregnant. Then she began to feel that she is better than I am. I want the Lord to judge which of us is right.”
6. But Abram said to Sarai, “She is your slave. You can do anything you want to her.” So Sarai was cruel to Hagar, and Hagar ran away.
7. The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring of water in the desert. The spring was by the road to Shur.
8. The angel said, “Hagar, Sarai’s slave girl, why are you here? Where are you going?” Hagar said, “I am running away from Sarai.”
9. The angel of the Lord said to her, “Sarai is your owner. Go home to her and obey her.”
10. The angel of the Lord also said, “From you will come many people—too many people to count.”
