Abstract
The article looks at the Biblical story of the slave woman Hagar. According to the article, the attitude toward the other continues to be a problem in modern times. The article discusses feminist interpretations of the Hagar story, the casting out of Hagar and her son Ishmael, the relationship between Hagar and Sarah, Islamic versions of Hagar's expulsion, Abraham's two sons Isaac and Ishmael, the Midrash, the Muslim tradition that Ishmael and Abraham established the Kaaba in Mecca, and Israel's enslavement in Egypt.
