AḆRAHAM 107

1 However, when Sarah attempt to correct Haḡar, Haḡar grew angry and determined to return unto 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 unto her, Haḡar, daughter of Sarah, who gave thee unto her husband Aḇraham and took thee into her own bed that thou mightest raise up seed unto her, why art thou thus fleeing into the wilderness from the camp of Aḇraham?

3 And Haḡar replied, I am returning to the land of my father for it grieveth me to be bound to Sarah.

4 And the messenger of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said to her, Return unto Sarah and be subject unto her for she is given to thee to be a mother unto thee and this seed is hers as well as yours.

5 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 will multiply thy seed exceedingly so that it shall not be numbered for multitude and thou shalt bear a son and shall call his name Yishma’ĕl, because 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 hath heard thy prayers and answered them.

6 He will be a man of the desert and a man of war; nevertheless, many shall join themselves unto him and his people shall be great.
