    1Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had not borne him any children. But she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar.

    2So Sarai said to Abram, "Look, the LORD has prevented me from having children. Please go to my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her." And Abram listened to Sarai's voice.

    3After Abram had lived in the land of Canaan for ten years, Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her maidservant, and gave her to Abram as a wife.

    4He went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When Hagar saw that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.

    6Abram said to Sarai, "Your maidservant is in your hands; do with her whatever you think is best." Then Sarai mistreated Hagar, and she fled from her presence.
