| Sarah was originally called Sarai (שָׂרַי / שָׂרָי , Standard Hebrew Saray, Tiberian Hebrew Śāray / Śārāy) and was married to and lived with her husband, then called Abram (אברם) in the city of Haran. When God told Abram to leave his homeland and journey to an unknown land (later identified as Canaan), Sarai accompanied him. However, when they arrived they were met with a famine, and decided to take refuge in Egypt. Fearing that Sarai's beauty would put his life in danger if their true relationship became known, Abram proposed that she pass as his sister. Image File history File links Information. ...

As Abram had feared, Sarai was taken by Pharaoh, who rewarded Abram richly on her account. However, God struck Pharaoh and all his house with severe plagues, after which Pharaoh suspected the truth. He censured Abram and bade him to take his wife and depart. According to the classic Jewish commentaries, Pharaoh was nevertheless impressed with Abram's righteousness, and sent his own daughter, Hagar, to be a handmaid to Sarai. The dismissal of Hagar, by Pieter Pietersz Lastman Hagar (Arabic هاجر; Hajar; Hebrew הָגָר Stranger, Standard Hebrew Hagar, Tiberian Hebrew ) is an Egyptian-born handmaiden of Sarah, wife of Abraham. ...
While God promised Abram that he would yet be a father of nations, Sarai remained childless. To help her husband fulfill his destiny, she offered her Egyptian handmaid Hagar to him as a concubine. Hagar became pregnant immediately, and began to despise her mistress. Sarai bitterly upbraided her husband, and Abram responded that she should do with her handmaid as she deemed best. Sarai's harsh treatment of Hagar forced the handmaid to flee to the desert, where she encountered an angel who announced that her children would be numerous and urged her to return to her mistress. After Hagar returned, she bore Abraham a son whom he named Ishmael. Hagar and Ishmael in the Wilderness, by Karel Dujardin Ishmael (Hebrew: יִשְ×מָעֵ×ל, Standard Tiberian ; Arabic: إسماعيل, IsmÄÄ«l) was Abrahams eldest son, born by his wifes handmaiden Hagar. ...
Afterwards God changed their names to Abraham and Sarah to help them fulfill their new destiny as progenitors of the future nation of Israel. In Hebrew, the name Avram means "exalted father" or, alternately, "father of Aram," the country where Abraham was born. Sarai means "my woman of high rank", referring to her relationship with her husband. Now their names would be Avraham, meaning "father of many," and Sarah, meaning "woman of high rank". Then God sent three angels in the guise of men to inform the couple of the impending birth of Isaac. Abraham laughed with joy at the news, as he would be 100 years old at the time of the birth, but Sarah laughed with doubt, as she would be 90 years old and the ways of women had long since ceased for her. The Children of Israel, or Bnei Yisrael (×‘× ×™ ישר×ל) in Hebrew (also Bnai Yisrael, Bnei Yisroel or Bene Israel) is a Biblical term for the Israelites. ...

Abraham next moved to Gerar, where Sarah was again taken by the ruler to become his wife after she claimed Abraham was her brother. Abimelech, however, was warned by God in a dream not to touch Sarah. When Abimelech reproved Abraham for the deception, Abraham justified himself by explaining that Sarah was the daughter of his father but not of his mother (Gen. 20:1-12). Gerar - lodging-place - A very ancient town and district in the south border of Palestine, which was ruled over by a king named Abimelech. ...
Immediately after this incident, Sarah bore a son, Isaac. God instructed Abraham to name him after the laughter which Sarah had made when her son's birth was prophesied by the angel.
According to Rashi, a Jewish commentator on the Torah, people questioned whether the 100-year old Abraham really was the father of the child, as he and Sarah had lived together for decades without conceiving. Instead, people gossiped that Abimelech was the true father. For this reason, according to Rashi, God made Isaac's features exactly the same as Abraham's, so no one could claim a different paternity. Rashi (1040-1105) (Artists imagination) Rashi רשי is a Hebrew acronym for רבי שלמה יצחקי (Rabbi Shlomo Yitzhaqi), (February 22, 1040 – July 13, 1105), a rabbi in France, famed as the author of the first comprehensive commentaries on the Talmud and Tanakh. ...

As Isaac grew up, according to the Bible, his older half-brother Ishmael began to mock him and Sarah demanded that Abraham send away both Hagar and Ishmael to protect Isaac. Some believe that Sarah's shunning, and the hard life of exile that followed, angered Ishmael and that this is one of the causes of strife between Islam and Christianity, as Ishmael became a prophet. Years later, at the death of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael came together again to bury their father in the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron (Gen. 25:9). The Enclosure of the Cave of the Patriarchs The Cave of the Patriarchs is a religious compound located in the ancient city of Hebron (which lies in the southwest part of the West Bank, in the heart of ancient Judea), and is generally considered by Jews, Christians, and Muslims, to...

Sarah died in Kiryat Arba (קרית ארבע), or Hebron, at the age of 127 years. Her death prompted Abraham to purchase a family burial plot, and he approached Ephron the Hittite to sell him the Cave of Machpelah (Cave of the Patriarchs). Ephron demanded an exhorbitant price of 400 pieces of silver, which Abraham paid in full. The Cave of Machpelah would eventually be the burial site for all three Jewish patriarchs and three of the four matriarchs—Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, and Jacob and Leah.

Islam In Islamic tradition, Sarah is the wife of Ibrahim, a major prophet. Some Muslim scholars regard Sarah herself to be a prophetess.[1] Abraham married Sarah as she showed uncompromising commitment to God, after the rest abandoned Abraham. After marriage Abraham travelled with Sarah to Ur, then later to Haran, Palestine and finally to Egypt.[2] The Quran identifies a number of men as prophets of Islam. ...

The hadith tell of an incident when Abraham called Sarah his sister, though Sarah was not biologically related to him. Muslim theoligians explain that Abraham referred to Sarah as a sister in faith when he said "There are no believers on the surface of the earth except you [Sarah] and me." Thus Abraham neither lied, nor married his biological sister.[3] This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ...
After their marriage, Sarah and Abraham had no children. Sarah, knowing that Abraham desired a child, gave her handmaiden Hajar to Abraham in marriage.[2] Sarah and Abraham received some guests one day who rbought them two prophecies: the destruction of the people of Lot and that Sarah would bear a son, despite her and Abraham's advance age.
