Egypt in Genesis 16
EE-jipt
This place shows up in Genesis 16:1: “Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, bore him no children. She had a servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 16:1
“Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, bore him no children. She had a servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.”
