2: So saidH0559 SaraiH8297 toH0413 Abram,H0087 SeeH2009 now,H4994 has restrained meH6113 YahwehH3068 from bearing [children]-H3205 go inH0935 please,H4994 toH0413 my maidservant-H8198 perhapsH0194 I shall obtain childrenH1129 by her.H4480 And heededH8085 AbramH0087 the voiceH6963 of Sarai.H8297

10: And saidH0559 the AngelH4397 of Yahweh,H3068 exceedinglyH7235 I will multiplyH7235 -H0853 your descendants,H2233 so that notH3808 they shall be countedH5608 for multitude.H7230

11: And saidH0559 the AngelH4397 of Yahweh,H3068 behold,H2009 you have conceived,H2030 and you shall bearH3205 a son,H1121 and you shall callH7121 his nameH8034 Ishmael-H3458 forH3588 has listenedH8085 YahwehH3068 toH0413 your affliction.H6040

12: And HeH1931 shall beH1961 a wild H6501 man-H0120 His hand [shall be]H3027 against every man,H3605 and the handH3027 of every manH3605 and over againstH5921 the presence ofH6440 of allH3605 his brothers.H0251 he shall dwellH7931

13: And she calledH7121 the nameH8034 of YahwehH3068 who spokeH1696 to her,H0413 You [are]H0859 the GodH0410 who sees me,H7210 forH3588 she said,H0559 alsoH1571 hereH1988 have I seenH7200 the backH0310 of Him who sees me.H7200

14: UponH5921 thusH3651 was calledH7121 the wellH0875 Roi-H0883 behold,H2009 [it is] betweenH0996 KadeshH6946 andH0996 Bered.H1260
