Overview & Key Concepts

Who are Bible Project?

The Bible Project is a non-profit animation studio that produces short-form, fully animated videos. The videos help make the biblical story accessible

to everyone, everywhere. We create videos, podcasts, and study guides that explore the Bible's unified story.

Who is Yahweh?

Yahweh was the national god of the Iron Age kingdoms of Israel (Samaria) and Judah. His exact origins are disputed, although they reach back to the

early Iron Age and even the Late Bronze: his name may have begun as an epithet of El, head of the Bronze Age Canaanite pantheon, but the earliest plausible mentions of Yahweh are in Egyptian texts that refer to a similar-sounding place name associated with the Shasu nomads of the southern Transjordan. In the oldest biblical literature, Yahweh is a typical ancient Near Eastern "divine warrior", who leads the heavenly army against Israel's enemies; he later became the main god of the Kingdom of Israel (Samaria) and of Judah, and over time the royal court and temple promoted Yahweh as the god of the entire cosmos, possessing all the positive qualities previously attributed to the other gods and goddesses.

What is an Angel?

An angel is generally a supernatural being found in various religions and mythologies. In Abrahamic religions, angels are often depicted as benevolent

celestial beings who act as intermediaries between God or Heaven and Humanity. Other roles of angels include protecting and guiding human beings, and carrying out God's tasks. Within Abrahamic religions, angels are often organized into hierarchies, although such rankings may vary between sects in each religion, and are given specific names or titles, such as Gabriel or 'Destroying angel'.

Who was Hagar?

According to the Book of Genesis, Hagar is an Egyptian slave, a hand-maiden of Sarah, whom Sarah gave to her own husband Abram (later renamed Abraham)

as a wife to bear him a child. Abraham's firstborn son through Hagar, Ishmael, became the progenitor of the Ishmaelites, generally taken to be the Arabs. Various commentators have connected her to the Hagrites (sons of Agar), perhaps claiming her as their eponymous ancestor. Hagar is alluded to, although not named, in the Quran, and Islam considers her Abraham's second wife.

Frequently Asked Questions

1.What are Angels?

Angels are spiritual, non-material beings who put God's commands and laws into action in this world. They have no will of their own, unlike man, and are intermediaries between God and the world.

2.What do angels look like?

Because angels are not physical, they cannot be seen by the physical human eye, though prophets and righteous individuals have occasionally perceived them in dreams and visions.

3.What functions do angels perform?

These are of two kinds: their functions in the physical world, and the spiritual development of man.

In the physical world, the working of nature is governed by laws, as science has shown by discovering many of these laws. Islam teaches that these laws have been devised by God, and the angels - the obeying functionaries of God - put them into action.

On the spiritual side, the angels communicate God's revelation to the Prophets and other righteous ones, bring comfort and strength to the hearts of true believers, and inspire noble thoughts in the minds of all persons. They do this, of course, by acting through the spiritual senses of human beings, not their physical senses like the eyes or ears.

4.How do the Angels pray?

The Book of Revelation records that all the heavenly angels fall prostrate onto their faces before the divine throne to pray.

5.Where did the name Yahweh come from?

The name Yahweh is the principal, sacred vocalisation of the Hebrew Tetragrammaton (YHWH), revealed historically to Moses in the Old Testament Book of Exodus as God's personal covenant name. Biblical scholars note its linguistic roots link directly to an archaic Hebrew verb meaning "To Be," signifying the eternal, self-existing, and uncreated nature of the Creator.

6.Was Hagar really Abrahams wife?

Yes, Hagar was legally considered to be Abraham's first wife. (Note: Biblical texts in Genesis 16 describe her as a wife given by Sarah, while historically, she is often classified as a secondary wife or concubine.)
