Hagar

Hagar is a figure from the Bible, specifically in the Book of Genesis. She was an Egyptian servant of Sarah, Abraham’s wife. When Sarah couldn’t have children, she gave Hagar to Abraham as a concubine, and Hagar bore Abraham a son named Ishmael. Hagar’s story highlights themes of hardship, faith, and God's compassion, as she faced difficult circumstances, including being mistreated, and was later promised by God that her son Ishmael would become the ancestor of a great nation. Her narrative underscores the importance of endurance and divine promise amid adversity.
