هاجرن

Observant Noahites are known in the Torah as הגרים (Hagarim or Ha-Garim or Ha-Gerim or Ha-Geirim meaning The Gers or The Pilgrims or The Migrants. They are children of Noah who honour the G-d of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. They are called Muslamai in the Targum of Rabbi Onkelos. Augustus Caesar was an observant Noahite. Judeo-Arabic scriptures refer to them as משלם.

The word "Hagar" is the epithet given to Keturah which was changed in an attempt to distinguish Hagar from Keturah by the Karaites around 1000 years ago when the Karaites inserted the Nikudot into the Masoretic text. Keturah came from Hagarim (Noahites) so Hagarim are not physical descendants of Keturah.

Hagarim are of three types:

Chokhmei Umot HaOlam anywhere.

Chassidei Umos HaOlam who subscribe to a Jewish Makom.

Tzadikei Umos HaOlam who have joined the Nation of Priests.
