5 And Sarai said to Abram: 'You have acted unfairly against me. I gave my handmaid into your bosom, who, when she saw that she had conceived, held me in contempt. May the Lord judge between me and you.'
6 Abram responded to her by saying, 'Behold, your handmaid is in your hand to treat as it pleases you.' And so, when Sarai afflicted her, she took flight.
7 And when the Angel of the Lord had found her, near the fountain of water in the wilderness, which is on the way to Shur in the desert,
8 he said to her: 'Hagar, handmaid of Sarai, where have you come from? And where will you go?' And she answered, 'I flee from the face of Sarai, my mistress.'
9 And the Angel of the Lord said to her, 'Return to your mistress, and humble yourself under her hand.'
