Genesis 16

Genesis 16:3

And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.

Then Sarai, Abram’s wife, being past all hope of issue, seeing she was now seventy-five years old, took Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, after she had waited ten years for the performance of God’s promise concerning Abram’s seed, (so long had Abram now dwelt in Canaan), and, by consent of all sides, out of her weakness and distrust, gave her to her husband to be his wife, in regard of all the rights of the marriage bed, though not of household government.

Genesis 16:12

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 the presence of all his brethren.

And he shall be a wild and savage man, of a fierce and untameable disposition; he shall be as ready, in the height of his courage, to fight with every man, and every man shall be as ready to wage war with him; all which notwithstanding, his success shall be such, that he shall live, and rule far and wide in all the coasts of his brethren.

Genesis 16:13

For she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?

For she said, Have I not here also, even in the waste desert, and not only in the house of Abram, seen that good God of mine, which hath first graciously looked upon me and mine affliction?
