1 However, when Sarah attempted to correct Haḡar, Haḡar grew angry and determined to return to her father’s people; wherefore, she departed into the wilderness.
2 But a messenger of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 met her by a well where she stopped to rest and he said to her, Haḡar, daughter of Sarah, who gave you to her husband Aḇraham and took you into her own bed that you might raise up seed to her, why are you fleeing into the wilderness from the camp of Aḇraham?
3 And Haḡar replied, I am returning to the land of my father for it grieved me to be bound to Sarah.
4 And the messenger of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said to her, Return to Sarah and be subject to her for she is given to you to be a mother to you and this seed is hers as well as yours.
5 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 will multiply your seed exceedingly so that it shall not be numbered for multitude and you shall bear a son and shall call his name Yishma’ĕl, because 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has heard your prayers and answered them.
6 He will be a man of the desert and a man of war; nevertheless, many shall join themselves to him and his people shall be great.
