	Biblical Personalities: Isaac and Ishamael
		Banned from the tent of the matriarch Sarah, who finds the surrogate mother, Hagar, haughty and disrespectful, the young Ishmael, torn away from the kindest of all Biblical figures, his father Abraham, faces a life and a destiny defined by pangs of abandonment and wanderlust.
		Particularly as the Biblical text reveals that it is Ishmael who returns from the middle of the desert, without enmity and rancor (unlike his nephew Esau, who openly reviles and threatens his twin brother, Jacob), to attend his father’s funeral, and defer to his younger brother Isaac at the burial.
		A particularly endearing characteristic of the Biblical text, and its accompanying rabbinical commentaries, is their constant evaluation of the great personalities coursing through the Scriptural narrative.

	Biblical Personalities: Hagar
		The complexity of the narrative of Hagar, the Egyptian, and her resultant place in Biblical history cannot be overstated.
		Hagar is given this name because her deeds had become as beautiful as incense (ketoret) and because she remained chaste (in Aramaic, keturah means “restrained”) from the time she was separated from Abraham.
		Hagar was a wife to Abraham, but a handmaid to Sarah (Midrash Aggadah, Bereishit 16:10).

	SEFER SAFARI Online
		Provides illuminating commentaries on the biblical texts read on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kipper by a number of contemporary female authors, scholars, theologians, and educators offer a fresh perspective on Jewish history, tradition, and religion, especially focused on Sarah, Hagar, Hannah, and chidbirth.
		There are entries on divine names recognized as such by the biblical authors; divine names in theophoric toponyms and anthroponyms; secular terms which occur as divine names in neighbouring civilizations, conjectural divine names, at times based on textual emendation, proposed by modern scholarship; and humans who acquired a semi-divine status in tradition.
		An eminent Jewish scholar examines the total body of texts, legends, and traditions referring to the Binding of Isaac and weaves them all together into a definitive study of the Akedah as one of the central events in human history.

	Sisters in the Wilderness: The Challenge of Womanist God-Talk
		In this landmark work of emerging African American womanist theology, Delores Williams finds in the biblical figure of Hagar - mother of Ishmael, cast into the desert by Abraham and Sarah, but protected by God - a prototype for the struggle of African-American women.
		Part II considers the theological implications of the womanist understanding of Hagar's history.
		Exploring all the themes inherent in Hagar's story - poverty and slavery, ethnicity and sexual exploitation, exile and encounters with God - Sisters in the Wilderness traces parallels in the history of African-American women from slavery to the present.

	Mt. Sinai in Midian
		When Ron studied the Biblical account, he noted these references - that the mountain to which Moses was to lead the people was in Midian; and that the place where Moses spoke to God in the burning bush was specifically stated to be in the "backside of the desert".
		Hagar [Agar] represents that given on Mt. Sinai, and, Paul notes in passing the appropriateness of the fact that Mt. Sinai is in Arabia, the land to which Hagar took her son."
		All these quotes only confirm that in the last century, men were led to investigate the evidences of the true site of Mt. Sinai because the traditional site simply did not fit the Biblical description.

	National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
		"Biblical family values" present just as many problems as "biblical families." Abraham's use of his slave, Hagar, to sire a child, and his subsequent banishment of her and the child to the wilderness (Genesis 21:14) would be considered unspeakably callous by today's standards.
		The structures of biblical families are rooted in ancient cultural practices far removed from the sensibilities of Western society; the authors of the Bible would scarcely recognize the partnership of equals that marks a contemporary American marriage.
		First, it's important to recognize that the most common marriage pattern in the Bible is polygamy: not a union of one man and one woman, but a union of one man and as many women as he could afford to keep (see Solomon, and his 700 wives and 300 concubines).

	RELIGION-Bible-Feminists,
		But Rendsburg is more fascinated by non-Israelite outsiders with low social status who got biblical stardom, including: Yael, the Kenite tent-dweller; Rahab, the Canaanite prostitute; Hagar, the Egyptian maidservant; and Ruth, the poor Moabite widow.
		Sarah may have dominated Hagar but she was sometimes victimized herself, as when Abraham lied about her being his wife and sent her into Egypt's harem for his own benefit (Genesis 12:10-20).
		Sarah eventually banished the rival Hagar and son Ishmael, but God cherished and saved them in the desert when they were near death.

	Family Values [pp. 1, 16]
		Of course, if a candidate also associates "family values" with the so-called biblical principles on which our country was founded, he is certain to score even more points with the Christian right.
		The duplicity of this political tactic is twofold: (1) our country was not founded on "biblical principles," and (2) the "family values" found in the Bible are completely contrary to what the religious right supposedly stands for.
		If news of his private life became public knowledge, it would probably end his public career, but a biblical character who did this very thing has been lauded for thousands of years as a great hero of faith.

		Phillis Trible, a professor at Union Theological Seminary in New York City, is a noted authority on feminist interpretation and literary analysis of biblical stories of the Hebrew Scriptures/Old Testament.
		From the start of her career, Trible has addressed the topic of how gender and gender/sex relationships are represented in the bible.

	All About Romance: At the Back Fence #125
		Another author whose books I devoured was Lois T. Henderson, who wrote fictional biographies of Biblical women: Ruth, Hagar, Lydia, Esther.
		These books are not really romances, (there's no way of softening up Hagar's story - she's essentially abandoned by Abraham and left to wander in the desert with her son Ishmael) but there were enough touches of romance in them to satisfy my early adolescent cravings.
		Her first three in a series of five, Unveiled, Unashamed, Unshaken about Tamar, Rahab, and Ruth respectively have been selling well, but whereas Lois T. Henderson's stories might have appealed to Jewish or Islamic women, Rivers's books are unabashedly evangelical.

	Extra-Biblical Hermeneutics
		In a hermeneutical symposium where I spoke on the side of interpreting the bible with the Bible, a pastor who attended stated that with the discovery of the "Nuzu texts" light was shed on the reason that Hagar was given to Abraham to bear children.
		My response to the inclusion of the Nuzu Texts for biblical understanding was that it may open up a cultural understanding but to understand this event from a biblical point of view it is necessary to search the Scriptures and see what spiritual application God is making.
		I previously mentioned the Nuzu Texts which were excavated in 1925-1941.

		It was the legal responsibility of a barren woman to supply her husband with a maidservant with whom to have intercourse, thus to produce an heir, in the manner of Sarah and Hagar.
		Only with the work of Sternberg and Berlin, and others like them, with eyes trained for close reading, to use the hackneyed expression, did scholars come to realize the sophisticated nature of biblical prose storytelling.
		A great amount of Egyptological evidence was put forward to demonstrate that the customs reflected in Genesis 37-50 are an accurate reflection of life in Egypt.Semites could achieve high levels in the government of Egypt, including rising to the title of vizier.

	End Times Bible Prophecy - Avoiding the Great Deception
		However, we are so accustomed to using biblical stories to illustrate principles of doctrine that we often feel obliged to build doctrinal positions from end times prophecy.
		Her unwillingness to wait for God's timing and his way has created centuries of conflict for God's people through the descendants of Hagar.
		If end times events do not play out exactly this way, then the believer is placed in the uncomfortable position of claiming that a specific person cannot be the antichrist, while there might be massive evidence to the contrary, simply because the believer is still on the earth!

		Ishmael was born to Abrahm through Hagar ( Genesis 16), the hand maiden.
		The Midianites were descendants of Midian, a son of Abraham and his concubine Keturah ( Genesis 25:1-2).

	IBSS - Biblical Archaeology - Date of the Exodus
		Zoan or Tanis was the residence of the Pharaohs during the twenty-first and twenty-second Dynasties about 1070-715 BC It was a major political and commercial center during the Ptolemaic period about 332-30 BC It is located at modern San el-Hagar on the Tanitic branch of the Nile.
		This places the exodus at 1513 BC, the capture of Troy at 1182, and the dedication of the Temple at 1033 BC If Solomon is dated to 966 BC, then this would put the Exodus at 1446 BC This is a 67 year difference.

	Women and Contemporary Biblical Interpretation (The Bible: The Book that Bridges the Millennia)
		Womanist Bible scholars and authors like Renita Weems, Delores Williams, Joan Martin, Clarice Martin, Katie Canon, Cheryl Gilkes, Kelly Brown, and many others have stepped into the biblical dialogue by using the experience of African-American women as the starting place for a dialogue with the sacred stories of the Bible.
		They emphasized the African-American interpretation of the story of Hagar, the Egyptian woman in Genesis, as a formative story of relationships between women of different races in a world dominated by male power structures.
		Theologian Jacquelyn Grant defines a womanist as "one who has developed survival strategies in spite of the oppression of her race and sex in order to save her family and her people," and stresses the importance of black women speaking out for themselves in order to validate their own experience.
