Chap. XVI.
Sarai geueth her handmaid Agar as a wife to Abram. 4. who conceiuing
despiseth her mystresse, is therfore afflicted, & flyeth away. 7. But is warned
by an Angel to returne and humble herselfe, 15. which she doth and
beareth Ismael.
1 Sarai therfore, the wife of Abram, had brought forth
no children: but hauing an handmaid an Ægyptian named
Agar,
2 she said to her husband: Behold, our Lord hath
closed me, that I might not beare: Goe in vnto my handmaid,
if happely of her at the least I may haue children. And
when he agreed to her in this request,
3 she toke Agar the
Ægyptian her handmaid tenne yeares after that they first
dwelled in the land of Chanaan: and gaue her vnto her
husband09Q0056 to wife.
4 Who did companie with her, but she
noteperceauing that she was with childe, despised her mistresse.
5 And Sarai said to Abram: Thou doest vniustly against me:
I gaue my handmaid into thy bosome, who perceauing
herself to be with child, despiseth me. Our Lord iudge betwen
me and thee.
6 To whom Abram making answere:
Behold, saith he, thy h&abar;dmaid is in thine owne hand, vse her
as it pleaseth thee. When Sarai therfore did afflict her, she
ranne away.
7 And an angel of our Lord hauing found her,
beside a fountaine of water in the wildernesse, which is in
the way to Sur in the desert,
8 he said to her: Agar, the
handmaid of Sarai, whence comest thou? and whither goest
thou? who answered: From the face of Sarai my mistresse
doe I flye.
9 And the angel of our Lord said to her: Returne

Abram.
to thy mistresse, and humble thy selfe vnder her hand.
10 And
again: Multiplying, sayth he, wil I multiplie thy seed, and it
shal not be numbred for the multitude therof.
11 And againe
after that: Behold, saith he, thou art with child, and thou
shalt bring forth a sonne: and thou shalt cal his name Ismael,
because the Lord hath heard thin affliction.
12 He shal
be a wild man: his hand shal be against al men, and al mens
hands against him: and ouer against al his bretheren shal he
pitch his tents.
13 And she called the name of our Lord that
spake vnto her: Thou the God which hast sene me. For she
said: verily here haue I sene the backe partes of him that
hath sene me.
14 Therfore she called that wel, the Wel of
him that liueth and seeth me. The same is betwen Cadesse,
and Barad.
15 And Agar brought forth a sonne to Abram:
who called his name Ismael.
16 Eightie and sixe yeares old
was Abram when Agar brought him forth Ismael.
