Gen Z: Genesis 16
1So, Sarai, Abram’s wifey, was childless, but she had a handmaid, an Egyptian named Hagar.
2Sarai told Abram, "Yo, the Lord's got me on lockdown for kids. Go get with my girl Hagar, maybe she can pop out some babies for us." Abram was like, "Bet."
3After ten years in Canaan, Sarai gave Hagar to Abram as a wifey.
4He went in to Hagar, and she got pregnant; suddenly, Sarai was looking sus to her.
5Sarai told Abram, "This is all on you! I gave my maid to you, and now she thinks she’s all that. Lord, you gotta judge between us!"
6Abram was like, "Chill, your maid's your business; do what you wanna do." When Sarai got savage with her, Hagar dipped.
7Then the angel of the Lord found Hagar chilling by a water fountain in the desert.
8The angel asked, "Hagar, where you coming from and where you headed?" She replied, "I’m running away from Sarai."
9The angel said, "Go back to Sarai and keep it respectful."
10The angel added, "I’ll make your fam so big, you won’t even be able to count them. Lit."
11The angel of the Lord was like, "Yo, you’re pregnant, and you’re gonna name him Ishmael 'cause God heard your struggle. No cap."
12He’s gonna be a wild one, always ready to throw hands; everyone’s gonna be on that beef with him. He’ll chill with his fam, no doubt.
13She named God, saying, “You see me, for real?” She was like, "Did I just find someone who sees me?"
14So they called the well Beer-lahai-roi; it’s right between Kadesh and Bered, vibing there.
15Hagar had a son for Abram, and he named him Ishmael, periodt.
16Abram was 86 years old when Hagar dropped Ishmael. That's wild.
