And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. Abram’s wife was named Sarai, and Nahor’s wife was named Milcah; she was the daughter of Haran, who was the father of both Milcah and Iscah.

But Sarai was barren; she had no children.

When Pharaoh’s officials saw Sarai, they commended her to him, and she was taken into the palace of Pharaoh.

So Pharaoh summoned Abram and asked, “What have you done to me? Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife?

Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!”

Now Abram’s wife Sarai had borne him no children, but she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar.

And he slept with Hagar, and she conceived. But when Hagar realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.

“Hagar, servant of Sarai,” he said, “where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I am running away from my mistress Sarai,” she replied.

So Hagar gave this name to the LORD who had spoken to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “Here I have seen the One who sees me!”

And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram gave the name Ishmael to the son she had borne.

And I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will descend from her.”

So she laughed to herself, saying, “After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?”

One night, however, God came to Abimelech in a dream and told him, “You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken, for she is a married woman.”

Before the servant had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor.
