Specialty Definition: HAGAR

Domain	Definition
Bible	Hagar flight, or, according to others, stranger, an Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid (Gen. 16:1; 21:9, 10), whom she gave to Abraham (q.v.) as a secondary wife (16:2). When she was about to become a mother she fled from the cruelty of her mistress, intending apparently to return to her relatives in Egypt, through the desert of Shur, which lay between. Wearied and worn she had reached the place she distinguished by the name of Beer-lahai-roi ("the well of the visible God"), where the angel of the Lord appeared to her. In obedience to the heavenly visitor she returned to the tent of Abraham, where her son Ishmael was born, and where she remained (16) till after the birth of Isaac, the space of fourteen years. Sarah after this began to vent her dissatisfaction both on Hagar and her child. Ishmael's conduct was insulting to Sarah, and she insisted that he and his mother should be dismissed. This was accordingly done, although with reluctance on the part of Abraham (Gen. 21:14). They wandered out into the wilderness, where Ishmael, exhausted with his journey and faint from thirst, seemed about to die. Hagar "lifted up her voice and wept," and the angel of the Lord, as before, appeared unto her, and she was comforted and delivered out of her distresses (Gen. 21:18, 19). Ishmael afterwards established himself in the wilderness of Paran, where he married an Egyptian (Gen. 21:20,21). "Hagar" allegorically represents the Jewish church (Gal. 4:24), in bondage to the ceremonial law; while "Sarah" represents the Christian church, which is free. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary.

Specialty Definition: Hagar

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In the Book of Genesis, Hagar (Hajar) is an Egyptian-born servant of Sarah, wife of Abraham.

Her main significance in the story is as the mother of Ishmael. As was the custom, the childless Sarah offered Hagar to her husband Abraham to provide him with an heir. This was ignoring God's promise to provide Abraham with an heir through Sarah herself.

When this promise was fulfilled in the birth of Isaac, Hagar's position became extremely dangerous, and she took Ishmael and fled.

Hagar the Horrible is a comic strip by Dik Browne; the strip is about a Viking.
