And Sarai said to Abram, "May the violence done to me be upon you. I gave my servant-woman into your embrace, but she saw that she had conceived, so I became contemptible in her sight. May Yahweh judge between you and me."

Moreover, the angel of Yahweh said to her, "I will greatly multiply your seed so that they will be too many to be counted."

And the angel of Yahweh said to her further, "Behold, you are with child, And you will bear a son; And you shall call his name Ishmael, Because Yahweh has heard your affliction.
