- Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar;
- so she said to Abram, "The LORD has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her." Abram agreed to what Sarai said.
- So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife.
- He slept with Hagar, and she conceived. When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.
- Then Sarai said to Abram, "You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my servant in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the LORD judge between you and me."
