Birth of Ishmael

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?”

Yahweh’s angel 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.

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.”

Hagar bore a son for Abram. Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
