[:en]Thoughts from Genesis 16[:]

[:en]The wife of Abram Sarai had no children and she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar.  She told Abram to sleep with Hagar to build a family through her.  Abram agreed and slept with Hagar and she conceived.  When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.  So Sarai mistreated Hagar and Hagar fled from her.  Then the angel of the Lord told her to go back to her mistress and submit to her.  Hagar bore Abram a son and Abram gave the name Ishmael.  Abram was 86 year old when Hagar bore him Ishmael.[:]
