The Greek word “For” is spelled gar which perhaps explains the omission of Hagar in some manuscripts as caused by a mistake of the eye, when copyists’ eyes jumped from gar to the end of Hagar.

KJV ASV : The Greek words for “plyou” and “we” were pronounced alike in later Greek. Perhaps copyists were influenced by verse 26 and 31 to understand the first person plural pronoun. The text reading is supported by early manuscripts of several kinds of ancient text.
