Easy-to-Read Version

Hagar’s Son Ishmael

⁷ The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring of water in the desert. The spring was by the road to Shur. ⁸ The angel said, “Hagar, Sarai’s slave girl, why are you here? Where are you going?”

Hagar said, “I am running away from Sarai.”

⁹ The angel of the Lord said to her, “Sarai is your owner. Go home to her and obey her.”
