10 I will greatly multiply your descendants,| the LORD's angel added, |so that they will be too numerous to count.|

11 Then the LORD's angel said to her, |You are now pregnant and are about to give birth to a son. You are to name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard your painful groans.

12 He will be a wild donkey of a man. He will be hostile to everyone, and everyone will be hostile to him. He will live away from his brothers.|

13 So Hagar named the LORD who spoke to her, |You are the God who sees me,| for she said, |Here I have seen one who sees me!|
