Hagar Confesses Her Flight from Sarai to the Angel

Midrash Aggadah, Genesis 16:7

"And he said, Hagar, maid of Sarai," etc. She said to the angel, "From before Sarai my mistress I am fleeing." From here the Sages, of blessed memory, said that a person must state the fault that is in him. And because the angel called her "maid of Sarai," she replied, "From before Sarai my mistress I am fleeing." From here you learn that Hagar became a wife only to Abraham, but to Sarai she was called a maidservant.
