Ask a QuestionThen the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the LORD.
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
The Angel of the LORD said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hand."
So Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
And Abraham came near and said, "Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Therefore the well was called Beer La-hai' Roi; observe, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. And she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar.
So the LORD went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.
Then Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan.
Now the Angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.
So Abram said to Sarai, "Indeed your maid is in your hand; do to her as you please." And when Sarai dealt harshly with her, she fled from her presence.
So the LORD said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes."
Then Abraham answered and said, "Indeed now, I who am but dust and ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord:
"Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it?
And he spoke to Him yet again and said, "Suppose there should be forty found there?" So He said, "I will not do it for the sake of forty."
"Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
He shall be a wild man; His hand shall be against every man, And every man's hand against him. And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren."
Then she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, "Have I also here seen Him who sees me?"
So he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress became despised in her eyes.
And He said, "Hagar, Sarai's maid, where have you come from, and where are you going?" She said, "I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai."
