Genesis 16:1-3

Revised Geneva Translation

16 Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, bore him no children. And she had a maid—an Egyptian—Hagar by name.

² And Sarai said to Abram, “Behold now, the LORD has restrained me from childbearing. I urge you to go in to my maid. It may be that I shall receive a child by her.” And Abram obeyed the voice of Sarai.

³ Then Sarai, Abram’s wife (after Abram had dwelled ten years in the land of Canaan) took Hagar, her maid (the Egyptian) and gave her to her husband, Abram, for his wife.
