Genesis 16:8-9

Context
16:8 He said, “Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She replied, “I’m running away from 1  my mistress, Sarai.”

16:9 Then the Lord’s angel said to her, “Return to your mistress and submit 2  to her authority.

1 tn Heb “from the presence of.”

2 tn The imperative וְהִתְעַנִּי (vÿhitanni) is the Hitpael of עָנָה (’anah, here translated “submit”), the same word used for Sarai’s harsh treatment of her. Hagar is instructed not only to submit to Sarai’s authority, but to whatever mistreatment that involves. God calls for Hagar to humble herself.
