Genesis 16:9-14 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

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.”

11. Then the angel of the Lord said, “Hagar, you are now pregnant, and you will have a son. You will name him Ishmael, because the Lord has heard that you were treated badly.

12. Ishmael will be wild and free like a wild donkey. He will be against everyone, and everyone will be against him. He will move from place to place and camp near his brothers.”

13. The Lord talked to Hagar. She began to use a new name for God. She said to him, “You are ‘God Who Sees Me.’” She said this because she thought, “I see that even in this place God sees me and cares for me!”

14. So the well there was called Beer Lahai Roi. It is between Kadesh and Bered.
