Genesis 16:12 in Context — Genesis 16
10 Disse-lhe também o anjo do SENHOR: Multiplicarei tanto tua linhagem, que não será contada por causa da multidão.
11 Disse-lhe ainda o anjo do SENHOR: Eis que concebeste, e darás à luz um filho, e chamarás seu nome Ismael, porque o SENHOR ouviu a tua aflição.
12 E ele será homem como um jumento selvagem; sua mão será contra todos, as mãos de todos serão contra ele, e habitará à margem de todos os seus irmãos.
13 Então chamou o nome do SENHOR que com ela falava: Tu és o Deus da vista; porque disse: Não vi também aqui ao que me vê?
14 Pelo qual chamou ao poço, Poço do Vivente que me vê. Eis que está entre Cades e Berede.
