1 Now Abram's wife Sarai had not borne a child for him. She had an Egyptian servant girl whose name was Hagar. 2 So Sarai told Abram, |You are well aware that the LORD has prevented me from giving birth to a child. Go have sex with my servant, so that I may possibly bear a son through her.| Abram listened to Sarai's suggestion, 3 so Abram's wife Sarai took her Egyptian servant, Hagar, and gave her as a wife to her husband Abram. This took place ten years after Abram had settled in the land of Canaan. Genesis 16:1-3, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
