Hagar Mother of Many Nations Genesis 16:1-14
Summary of Chapter 16 – Sarai is barren. Hagar, an Egyptian maidservant, is given to Abram. Hagar conceives. Hagar flees to wilderness after harsh treatment from Sarai, then is instructed by an angel of the Lord to return. Ishmael is born to Hagar and Abram – he will be a wild man, with every man’s hand against him, but he will beget a multitude. The well where Hagar is told this is called Beer Lahai Roi (you are the God who sees).
