Genesis 16:1-3

Easy-to-Read Version

Hagar the Servant Girl

16 Sarai was Abram’s wife, but she did not have any children. She had an Egyptian slave named Hagar. ² Sarai told Abram, “The Lord has not allowed me to have children, so sleep with my slave. Maybe she can have a son, and I will accept him as my own.” Abram did what Sarai said.

³ So after living ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai gave her Egyptian slave to Abram as a second wife.
