1 Ali Sara žena Avramova ne rađaše mu dece. A imaše robinju Misirku, po imenu Agara.

2 Pa reče Sara Avramu: Gospod me je zatvorio da ne rodim; nego idi k robinji mojoj, ne bih li dobila dece od nje. I Avram prista na reč Sarinu.

3 I Sara žena Avramova uze Agaru Misirku robinju svoju, i dade je za ženu Avramu mužu svom posle deset godina otkako se nastani Avram u zemlji hananskoj.

4 I on otide k Agari, i ona zatrudne; a kad vide da je trudna, ponese se od gospođe svoje.

5 A Sara reče Avramu: Uvreda moja pade na tebe; ja ti metnuh na krilo robinju svoju, a ona videvši da je trudna ponese se od mene. Gospod će suditi meni i tebi.

6 A Avram reče Sari: Eto, robinja je tvoja u tvojim rukama, učini s njom šta ti je volja. I Sara je stade zlostavljati, te ona pobeže od nje.

7 Ali anđeo Gospodnji nađe je kod studenca u pustinji, kod studenca na putu u Sur.

8 I reče joj: Agaro, robinjo Sarina, otkud ideš, kuda li ideš? A ona reče: Bežim od Sare gospođe svoje.

9 A anđeo joj Gospodnji reče: Vrati se gospođi svojoj, i pokori joj se.

10 Opet joj reče anđeo Gospodnji: Umnožiću veoma seme tvoje, da se neće moći prebrojati od množine.

11 Još joj reče anđeo Gospodnji: Eto si trudna, i rodićeš sina, i nadeni mu ime Ismailo; jer je Gospod video muku tvoju.

12 A biće čovek ubica; ruka će se njegova dizati na svakog a svačija na njega, i nastavaće na pogledu svoj braći svojoj.

13 Tada Agara prizva ime Gospoda koji govori s njom: Ti si Bog, koji vidi. Jer govoraše: Zar još gledam iza Onog koji me vide?

14 Toga radi zove se studenac onaj studenac Živoga koji me vidi; a on je između Kadisa i Varada.

15 I rodi Agara Avramu sina; i nadede Avram sinu svom, kog mu rodi Agara, ime Ismailo.

16 A beše Avramu osamdeset i šest godina kad mu Agara rodi Ismaila.

1931. He said, Hagar, Sarai’s handmaid. That this signifies information, is evident from the series, for Hagar is addressed by the angel as if he were to be informed. It is a common thing in the Word for Jehovah to question a man, and for men to reply, although Jehovah knew all before, not only what is done, but also the causes and the ends, and thus all the least and inmost things. But as man is not aware of this, and believes that no one can possibly know what he does in secret when no one sees it, and still less what he thinks, therefore the matter takes place according to the man’s belief. But still it is really true that even ordinary spirits perceive a man’s thoughts better than does the man himself; angelic spirits still more interior things of his thoughts; and angels things even more interior, namely, the causes and the ends, of which the man knows but little. It has been given me to know this by much and continual experience lasting many years. As spirits and angels perceive these things, what must be the case with the Lord, or Jehovah, who is infinite, and who gives to all their ability to perceive.
