015:014 I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve.
Afterward they will come out with great wealth,
015:015 but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried
in a good old age.
015:016 In the fourth generation they will come here again,
for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full."
015:017 It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it
was dark, behold, a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch
passed between these pieces.
015:018 In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your
seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to
the great river, the river Euphrates:
015:019 the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
015:020 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
015:021 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."
016:001 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no children. She had a handmaid,
an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
016:002 Sarai said to Abram, "See now, Yahweh has restrained me from bearing.
Please go in to my handmaid. It may be that I will obtain
children by her." Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
016:003 Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid,
after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan,
and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife.
016:004 He went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she
had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
016:005 Sarai said to Abram, "This wrong is your fault.
I gave my handmaid into your bosom, and when she saw
that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes.
Yahweh judge between me and you."
016:006 But Abram said to Sarai, "Behold, your maid is in your hand.
Do to her whatever is good in your eyes." Sarai dealt harshly
with her, and she fled from her face.
016:007 The angel of Yahweh found her by a fountain of water in
the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
016:008 He said, "Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, where did you come from?
Where are you going?" She said, "I am fleeing from the face
of my mistress Sarai."
016:009 The angel of Yahweh said to her, "Return to your mistress,
and submit yourself under her hands."
016:010 The angel of Yahweh said to her, "I will greatly multiply
your seed, that they will not be numbered for multitude."
016:011 The angel of Yahweh said to her, "Behold, you are with child,
and will bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael,
because Yahweh has heard your affliction.
016:012 He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will
be against every man, and every man's hand against him.
He will live opposite all of his brothers."
016:013 She called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her, "You are
a God who sees," for she said, "Have I even stayed alive
after seeing him?"
