Today, we pick up where we left off last week, and continue on with the famous tale of Sarai, Abram, and Hagar.
Hello everyone, and welcome back to a brand new episode of The Bible You Thought You Knew.
As you know, last week, I started recounting the famous tale of Sarai, Abram, and Hagar.
Today, we pick up where we left off and continue on with the saga.
If you remember well, the story starts with a couple, Sarai and Abram, who couldn't have children.
Because of that, Sarai asks her husband to sleep with her Egyptian maid Hagar, who later becomes pregnant.
However, things quickly take a sour turn, and Hagar finds herself pregnant and on the run from her mistress. That’s until she meets the Lord's angel who tells her to go back.
In today's episode, we discuss the aftermath of that decision, from Hagar giving birth to Ishmael to the birth of Sarai's own son, Isaac.
Curious how all this goes?
Tune in now!
