أظنّ أن الصورة مستوحاة من حياة البدو، ونخطئ إن ترجمنا الكلمة
Against
بمعنى الشجار أو الخصام، وأعتقد أن الصورة مستوحاة من آية في الكتاب المقدس في نبوة عن إسماعيل
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen 16:12
His hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him
وبالعربية
يَدُهُ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ، وَيَدُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَيْهِ
وهي بالطبع حياة سكان الصحراء/البدو
وهذا الشرح مستوحى من أطروحة دكتوراه لزوجي طُبعت في هذا الكتاب

Please check the meaning for that verse as mentioned by a review below:
The central passage he tackles is Genesis 16:12, "He will be a wild donkey of a man, his hand will be against everyone, and everyone's hand will be against him; and he will live to the east of all his brothers." Contrary to popular opinion, this prophecy by the God of Abraham was actually a blessing rather than a curse. Although Hagar was enslaved, her son, Ishmael, will be free as a donkey to roam the desert in pursuit of his own destiny. Unlike his subjected and powerless mother, he will be independent and strong, able to hold his own in the fierce Bedouin culture of the day.
