Initially, their relationship is probably alright. Hagar is one of Sarah's slaves, and Sarah choose her to be a mistress for Abraham. I kind of understand the legal implications of this. In a worldly sense, the important thing was that Abraham have an heir. Because of Sarah's lack of faith in God to do as he had promised, or perhaps considering that she wasn't the one who would bear Abraham the promised son, she decided Hagar could bear a child for Abraham in her name. As soon as Hagar conceives however, animosity develops between the two women, as Hagar "despises" Sarah. (Genesis 16:4) There must be some cultural implications that I'm missing here, because I don't really understand why Hagar would despise Sarah... perhaps because her son wouldn't be her own, but would be Sarah's son by law? An interesting question that is definitely worth looking into.
In the Bible, Sarah's handmaid was Hagar.
Sarah and Hagar.
Hagar was Sarah's slave, and hen Sarah found she was barren, she allowed Abraham to have sex with her and a son Ishmael was born.
I think Abraham did that. Hagar is female. Therefore, circumcision is not applicable.
Yes, Hagar was a surrogate mother to Abraham and Sarah in the Bible. She bore a son, Ishmael, on Sarah's behalf when Sarah was unable to conceive.
Hajar is the alternate spelling of Hagar, Sarah's Egyptian servant in the Bible. Hagar bore Ishmael when she was a concubine for Abraham, and Sarah dismissed her into the wilderness for this.
No, God told Abraham to send Hagar and Ishmael away.
Because Sarah is stupid
Sarah mistreated her and then Hagar ran away to a well.
No. Not at all!
Hagar and her son Ishmael
