Exegesis
The prepositional address el-sarai {אֶל־שָׂרַי | ʾel-śārāy} specifies the addressee, paired with the emphatic particle hinneh {הִנֵּה | hinnēh} ‘behold/look.’
In context — Genesis 16:6
And Abram said to Sarai, “Look, your slave-woman is in your hand; do to her what is good in your eyes.” Then Sarai afflicted her, and Hagar fled from her presence.
