Agar

Agar is the form of the name Hagar used in Paul's allegory in Galatians, where the Egyptian handmaid of Sarah stands for the covenant from Mount Sinai and the present Jerusalem in bondage. The narrative figure — Sarah's servant, mother of Ishmael, and ancestress of the desert Hagrites — appears in the Genesis account and her descendants are listed in the chronicler and the psalms.
