She is most notably recognized as the mother of Ishmael, Abraham's first son. 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. This was a common practice in ancient Near Eastern cultures to ensure an heir. Hagar's account is significant in the Abrahamic faiths, as she is considered the matriarch of the Ishmaelites. Her narrative highlights themes of faith, promise, and God's providence.
