In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul presents an allegory in which Hagar, the slave woman, is identified with the [[Old Covenant|old covenant]]—the '''[[The Law of Moses|Law of the Old Testament]]''' given at Mount Sinai—and with the '''earthly Jerusalem''', while Sarah, the free woman, is identified with the '''[[New Covenant|new covenant]]''' established by [[Christ]] and with the '''heavenly Jerusalem'''. In the [[History of Abraham’s Family|history of Abraham’s family]], Ishmael—born to the slave woman Hagar—did not inherit Abraham’s estate, whereas Isaac inherited it because his mother was Sarah, the free woman. This account illustrates which covenant believers must follow and whom they must believe in to inherit the [[Kingdom of Heaven|kingdom of heaven]]. Although Ishmael was Abraham’s firstborn, he was not made heir because he was born of the slave woman. In Christian interpretation, this signifies that humanity, bound under sin and death, cannot receive the inheritance of [[Kingdom of Heaven|heaven]]—that is, salvation—through the old covenant, which was imperfect.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+8%3A7-13&version=NIV |title=Hebrews 8:7–13 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> While Hagar symbolizes the old covenant and the earthly [[Jerusalem]], Sarah symbolizes the new covenant and the [[New Jerusalem|heavenly Jerusalem]].
