1 Abram's wife Sarai had not been able to have any children. But she owned a young Egyptian slave woman named Hagar,
2 and Sarai said to Abram, “The Lord has not given me any children. Sleep with my slave, and if she has a child, it will be mine.” Abram agreed,
3 and Sarai gave him Hagar to be his wife. This happened after Abram had lived in the land of Canaan for ten years.
4 Later, when Hagar knew she was going to have a baby, she became proud and treated Sarai hatefully.
