Leaving Egypt
2012 6' X 5'
My father the Pharaoh, after abducting Sarah, and being punished by God, freed her. Then he gave me as a servant to her. He thought that his own daughter would be better off in her pious home. But I was a royal princess.![Gallery item](http://richardmcbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2SarahsCommand_2012_6X5-589-2000-1200-100-770x926.jpg)
Sarah’s Command
2012 6' X 5'
Because Sarah was barren she ordered me to sleep with Abraham and try to get pregnant in her place. I was being used and felt awful.![Gallery item](http://richardmcbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/3AbrahamHagar_2012_6X5-592-2000-1200-100-770x922.jpg)
Abraham & Hagar
2012 6' X 5'
After he forced me to have sex Abraham was very tender and affectionate. I was confused. Was he my master or did he really care for me?![Gallery item](http://richardmcbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/4HagarPregnant_2012_6X5-594-2000-1200-100-770x918.jpg)
Hagar Pregnant
2012 6' X 5'
I immediately became pregnant and Abraham was even more affectionate. I think he fell in love with me. Sarah was so jealous.![Gallery item](http://richardmcbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/5SarahsFury_2012_6X5-597-2000-1200-100-770x933.jpg)
Sarah’s Fury
2012 6' X 5'
She made it impossible for me, forcing me to to do endless tasks even though I was pregnant. But when she kicked me out Abraham did nothing.![Gallery item](http://richardmcbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/6Annunciation1_2012_6X5-601-2000-1200-100-770x918.jpg)
Annunciation 1
2012 6' X 5'
I ran away as far as I could, but suddenly a great light stopped me and an angel demanded, “Return.”![Gallery item](http://richardmcbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/8Annunciation3_2012_6X5-605-2000-1200-100-770x918.jpg)
Annunciation 3
2012 6' X 5'
Something wonderful was happening to me. I felt my baby kick and thanked God. The Lord was truly a God of Seeing.![Gallery item](http://richardmcbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/9HagarReturns_2012_6X5.HagarReturns_2012_6X5-607-2000-1200-100-770x918.jpg)
Hagar Returns
2012 6' X 5'
When I came home my mistress was still angry but I could see Abraham had hoped I would return.![Gallery item](http://richardmcbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/10Ishmael_2012_6X5-611-2000-1200-100-770x920.jpg)
Ishmael
2012 6' X 5'
I gave birth and handed Ishmael to his father. He was overjoyed at holding the heir to his greatness. I almost felt sorry for Sarah.![Gallery item](http://richardmcbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/11Fight_2012_6X5-614-2000-1200-100-770x934.jpg)
The Fight
2012 6' X 5'
Somehow Sarah had managed to get pregnant and had a son. They grew up together as brothers but different as night and day. Ishmael was strong and brave while Isaac was passive. They fought over who was Abraham’s “real” son.![Gallery item](http://richardmcbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/12Exile_2012_6X5-619-2000-1200-100-770x929.jpg)
Exile
2012 6' X 5'
I was terrified when the water ran out and Ishmael collapsed under a barren tree. I thought he was going to die. Then God spoke to me again.![Gallery item](http://richardmcbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/13Fleeing_2012_6X5-622-2000-1200-100-770x923.jpg)
Fleeing Akeidah
2012 6' X 5'
Now I was happy to get out of Abraham and Sarah’s house. I had heard that Abraham tried to sacrifice his son and the shock of that killed Sarah. Poor woman. Ishmael and I fled as far as we could.![Gallery item](http://richardmcbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/14Return_2012_6X5-627-2000-1200-100-770x926.jpg)
Return to Egypt
2012 6' X 5'
We went back to Egypt, back to my home. My father had died. An Egyptian woman would surely make a good wife for my Ishmael. I knew that God would fulfill his word that He would make Ishmael a great nation.
