And he went in935 unto 1904, and she conceived2029: and when she saw7200 that she had conceived2029, her mistress1404 was despised7043 in her eyes5869. And 8297 said559 unto 87, My wrong2555 be upon thee: I have given5414 my maid8198 into thy bosom2436; and when she saw7200 that she had conceived2029, I was despised7043 in her eyes5869: the LORD3068 judge8199 between me and thee.

And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said559 unto her, Return7725 to thy mistress1404, and submit6031 thyself under her hands3027. And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said559 unto her, I will multiply7235 thy seed2233 exceedingly7235, that it shall not be numbered5608 for multitude7230.

And she called7121 the name8034 of the LORD3068 that spake1696 unto her, Thou God410 seest me7210: for she said559, Have I also here1988 looked7200 after him310 that seeth me7210? Wherefore the 875 was called7121 Beerlahairoi883 2416; behold, it is between Kadesh6946 and Bered1260.
