Please go in to my servant. It may be that I will obtain children by her." Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/16-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>So Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/16-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>He slept with Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/16-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Sarai said to Abram, "This wrong is your fault.
