Show BIBLE QUOTATIONS BY C. V. HANSEN Hagar, Sarai's maid fled into the wilderness, and an angel of the Lord came to her and said: Hagar, Sarai's maid, when c o m e s t thou? and whither wilt thou go? She answered, I fled from the face of my mistress Sarai. The angel then said: Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands, and I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, exceed-ingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son and shall call his name Ishmael because the Lord hath heard thy affliction. 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 presence of all his brethren. And in due time, a son was born to Hagar and Abram Abram was at this time eighty-six years of age. Gen. 16:7-16. |
