Manslaughter is defined as homicide without the intent to kill. For this reason, it is less serious than a murder charge, which will always lead to jail time if a conviction is made. However, there are different degrees of manslaughter, and while some always lead to jail time, others have a chance to enable you to avoid jail time. As always, it depends on the circumstances.
Ishmael was the first son of Abraham. His mother was Hagar, who was the Egyptian handmaid to Sarah, who was Abraham's wife. Ishmael was the half-brother of Isaac, who was the son of Abraham and Sarah. Sarah had been unable to have children. So she presented her maid, Hagar, to Abraham to bear an heir for Abraham.
When she [Hagar] âsaw that she had conceived, her mistress [Sarah] was despised in her eyesâ (16:4) When Sarah tried to deal with the situation, Hagar fled into the wilderness, where an angel promised her that her son would become a nation. Hagar returned and gave birth to Ishmael (Genesis 16). Years later, when Sarah noticed that Ishmael was a bad influence on Isaac, Abraham ordered Hagar to leave, sending her and Ishmael into the wilderness with meager provisions. âAnd she departed, and strayed in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
