Hagar's Flight: A Moment of Divine Intervention in Biblical History This evocative image captures the poignant moment of Hagar, the concubine of Abraham, as she is driven out from her home with her son Ishmael, following Sarah's giving birth to Isaac. The scene is taken from the Old Testament of the Bible, in the book of Genesis, and is a pivotal moment in the religious history of the Abrahamic faiths. Hagar, an Egyptian slave girl, had been given to Abraham by his wife Sarah as a concubine, in order to bear a child. However, when Sarah finally gave birth to Isaac, her long-awaited son, she became jealous of Hagar and demanded that she and Ishmael be cast out. In this moment of despair, Hagar and Ishmael are left to wander in the wilderness, with no food or water. However, they are not abandoned. An angel of the Lord appears to Hagar, offering her comfort and assurance that her son will grow up to be a great nation. The angel also instructs Hagar to name the boy Ishmael, which means 'God hears'. This powerful image captures the emotional intensity of Hagar's moment of divine intervention, as she looks up in awe and wonder at the angel who has come to her aid. The barren wilderness behind her serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities that Hagar and Ishmael faced, yet the presence of the angel offers hope and a promise of a future. This historical event continues to resonate with people of all faiths, as a reminder of the importance of compassion, resilience, and the power of divine intervention in times of need.
