2 So Sarai said to Abram, |Since the LORD has prevented me from having children, have sexual relations with my servant. Perhaps I can have a family by her.| Abram did what Sarai told him. 3 So after Abram had lived in Canaan for ten years, Sarai, Abram's wife, gave Hagar, her Egyptian servant, to her husband to be his wife. 4 He had sexual relations with Hagar, and she became pregnant. Once Hagar realized she was pregnant, she despised Sarai. Genesis 16:2-4, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
