In the New Testament, Hagar is used allegorically by the Apostle Paul to represent the old covenant of the Law given at Mount Sinai. Cultural and Historical Background: Hagar was an Egyptian servant in the household of Abraham and Sarah. Due to Sarah's barrenness, she gave Hagar to Abraham as a concubine to bear a child.
