[I.e., Do not contest his statement] He answered: “From the verse: ‘And he said: “Hagar, maidservant of Sarai, where are you coming from?” ‘ – to which she responded: ‘I am fleeing from Sarai, my mistress’”  [Though Hagar was no longer the maidservant of Sarai, since the angel referred to her as such, she responded in kind.] [n.b.– Bracketed explanations are from sefaria.org]  Baba Kamma 92b  TEMIMAH-GEN 70
