LXX
ΣΑΡΑ δὲ γυνὴ ¨Αβραμ οὐκ ἔτικτεν αὐτῷ. ἦν δὲ αὐτῇ παιδίσκη Αἰγυπτία, ᾗ ὄνομα Ἄγαρ.
BSB
BSB:
Now Abram’s wife Sarai had borne him no children, but she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar.
2
LXX
εἶπε δὲ Σάρα πρὸς ¨Αβραμ· ἰδοὺ συνέκλεισέ με Κύριος τοῦ μὴ τίκτειν· εἴσελθε οὖν πρὸς τὴν παιδίσκην μου, ἵνα τεκνοποιήσωμαι ἐξ αὐτῆς. ὑπήκουσε δὲ ¨Αβραμ τῆς φωνῆς Σάρας.
BSB
BSB:
So Sarai said to Abram, “Look now, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go to my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family by her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
3
LXX
καὶ λαβοῦσα Σάρα ἡ γυνὴ ¨Αβραμ Ἄγαρ τὴν Αἰγυπτίαν τὴν ἑαυτῆς παιδίσκην, μετὰ δέκα ἔτη τοῦ οἰκῆσαι ¨Αβραμ ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν τῷ ¨Αβραμ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς αὐτῷ γυναῖκα.

So after he had lived in Canaan for ten years, his wife Sarai took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to Abram to be his wife.

LXX
καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς Ἄγαρ, καὶ συνέλαβε. καὶ εἶδεν ὅτι ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχει, καὶ ἠτιμάσθη ἡ κυρία ἐναντίον αὐτῆς.
BSB
BSB:
And he slept with Hagar, and she conceived. But when Hagar realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.
5
LXX
εἶπε δὲ Σάρα πρὸς ¨Αβραμ· ἀδικοῦμαι ἐκ σοῦ· ἐγὼ δέδωκα τὴν παιδίσκην μου εἰς τὸν κόλπον σου, ἰδοῦσα δὲ ὅτι ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχει, ἠτιμάσθην ἐναντίον αὐτῆς· κρίναι ὁ Θεὸς ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ.
BSB
BSB:
Then Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong done to me be upon you! I delivered my servant into your arms, and ever since she saw that she was pregnant, she has treated me with contempt. May the LORD judge between you and me.”
6
LXX
εἶπε δὲ ¨Αβραμ πρὸς Σάραν· ἰδοὺ ἡ παιδίσκη σου ἐν ταῖς χερσί σου· χρῶ αὐτῇ ὡς ἄν σοι ἀρεστόν ᾖ. καὶ ἐκάκωσεν αὐτὴν Σάρα, καὶ ἀπέδρα ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῆς.
BSB
BSB:
“Here,” said Abram, “your servant is in your hands. Do whatever you want with her.” Then Sarai treated Hagar so harshly that she fled from her.

Εὗρε δὲ αὐτὴν ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς τοῦ ὕδατος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ Σούρ.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου. Ἄγαρ, παιδίσκη Σάρας, πόθεν ἔρχῃ καὶ ποῦ πορεύῃ; καὶ εἶπεν· ἀπὸ προσώπου Σάρας τῆς κυρίας μου ἐγὼ ἀποδιδράσκω.

BSB:
“Hagar, servant of Sarai,” he said, “where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I am running away from my mistress Sarai,” she replied.

εἶπε δὲ αὐτῇ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου· ἀποστράφηθι πρὸς τὴν κυρίαν σου καὶ ταπεινώθητι ὑπὸ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς.

So the angel of the LORD told her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her authority.”

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου· πληθύνων πληθυνῶ τὸ σπέρμα σου, καὶ οὐκ ἀριθμηθήσεται ὑπὸ τοῦ πλήθους.
BSB
BSB:
Then the angel added, “I will greatly multiply your offspring so that they will be too numerous to count.”
11
LXX
καί εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου· ἰδού, σὺ ἐν γαστρί ἔχεις καὶ τέξῃ υἱὸν καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰσμαήλ, ὅτι ἐπήκουσε Κύριος τῇ ταπεινώσει σου.
BSB
BSB:
The angel of the LORD proceeded: “Behold, you have conceived and will bear a son. And you shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard your cry of affliction.
12
LXX
οὗτος ἔσται ἄγροικος ἄνθρωπος αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πάντας, καὶ αἱ χεῖρες πάντων ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ κατοικήσει.
BSB
BSB:
He will be a wild donkey of a man, and his hand will be against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him; he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”
13
LXX
καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἄγαρ τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου τοῦ λαλοῦντος πρὸς αὐτήν· σὺ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ἐπιδών με, ὅτι εἶπε· καὶ γὰρ ἐνώπιον εἶδον ὀφθέντα μοι.
BSB
BSB:
So Hagar gave this name to the LORD who had spoken to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “Here I have seen the One who sees me!”
14

Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi. It is located between Kadesh and Bered.
