Chasidut su Genesi 16:8
וַיֹּאמַ֗ר הָגָ֞ר שִׁפְחַ֥ת שָׂרַ֛י אֵֽי־מִזֶּ֥ה בָ֖את וְאָ֣נָה תֵלֵ֑כִי וַתֹּ֕אמֶר מִפְּנֵי֙ שָׂרַ֣י גְּבִרְתִּ֔י אָנֹכִ֖י בֹּרַֽחַת׃
Egli (le) disse: Hagar, schiava di Sarai, onde vieni, e dove vai? Ella disse: Da Sarai mia signora io fuggo.
Kedushat Levi
Genesis 16,8 or Genesis 16,11., “The angel of G’d said to her (Hagar) etc.” It is somewhat surprising that whereas Manoach upon realizing that he had seen an angel was afraid that he would die forthwith, (Judges 14,22) Hagar did not react with fear at all. The reason may be that the angel which appeared to Hagar had appeared as an angel in the garb people expected angels to appear in. The angel that had appeared to Manoach and his wife had assumed human form, though he had looked awe-inspiring, so that Manoach and his wife had assumed that he was merely a prophet. When upon his departure to the celestial regions in the smoke rising from Manoach’s offering, it turned out that they had seen a heavenly being, Manoach reacted with fright, and his wife had to calm him by showing that his fear was quite unreasonable. (Verse 20-23 there).
