Genesis 16:9

וַ יֹּאמֶר לָהּ מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה שׁוּבִי אֶל גְּבִרְתֵּךְ וְ הִתְעַנִּי תַּחַת יָדֶיהָ
And a messenger of Yahweh is saying to her, `Turn back600 toward your mighty-one, and face yourself underneath her dual-hands.`
600

Strong’s #7725, shub. To turn back, return. This is the first message and call to repentance in the Scriptures and forms the basis of Gospel’s call of repentance. The messenger calls to Hagar, “repent and bow down (#6301) under Sarah’s hand.”
