“From Hebrew "Hagar" whose exact etymology is uncertain — proposed meanings include "flight" or "stranger", or possibly from Egyptian "Hw-Gr" meaning "stranger" or "foreigner". In the Hebrew Bible, Hagar is the Egyptian slave of Sarah who becomes the mother of Ishmael by Abraham — her story of exile and divine rescue in the desert has made her a symbol of the marginalized finding divine compassion.”

In the Hebrew Bible, Sarah (originally "Sarai") is the wife of Abraham, the first matriarch of the Jewish people, who bears her son Isaac at an impossibly old age — her story encodes the paradox of faith and laughter, waiting and miraculous fulfillment.”
