1 Abram's wife Sarai had never had any children by him. But she had a female servant from Egypt named Hagar.
2 So she said to Abram, "The Lord has kept me from having children. Go and make love to my servant. Maybe I can have a family through her." Abram agreed to what Sarai had said.
3 After he had been living in Canaan for ten years, his wife Sarai gave him her servant Hagar to be his wife.
4 He made love to Hagar. And she became pregnant. When Hagar knew she was pregnant, she began to look down on the woman who owned her.
