Genesis 16:11-13

Contemporary English Version

^10-11 I will give you a son, who will be called Ishmael,^[a] because I have heard your cry for help. And someday I will give you so many descendants that no one will be able to count them all. ¹² But your son will live far from his relatives; he will be like a wild donkey, fighting everyone, and everyone fighting him.”

¹³ Hagar thought, “Have I really seen God and lived to tell about it?”^[b] So from then on she called him, “The God Who Sees Me.”^[c]
