Shortly after God established the 1st Covenant with Abram, he [Abram] broke it by impregnating Hagar, his wife's servant [Sarai's handmaiden]!
How do we know that Abram and Hagar's sexual relationship was counted as a sin? After all, the scripture in Genesis does say that Hagar was given to be Abram's wife?
"And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife." Genesis 16:3
We know that Hagar was not Abram's God ordained wife because of three primary reasons:
- 1. The bloodline from Adam to Jesus was to be kept pure.
"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." Genesis 3:15
- 2. Hagar was an Egyptian [See Genesis 16:3 above].
Her bloodline probably started with the man who was called by the name "Egypt." His real name was actually Mizraim. Mizraim's bloodline came from Nimrod, and his bloodline came from Cush - the son of Noah. Noah's son Shem was the chosen bloodline to be continued from Adam to Jesus.
Some Muslims have written that Hagar was Abram's wife because of what Genesis 16:3 says.
We know for sure that Hagar was not Abram's wife because of the reasons already given above, but I have not given you the third piece of evidence yet. Which is, collectively:
The third reason is written in Article 10.
