There are four great women of the Pentateuch, but I think Sarah is the greatest of all. The following is the main background information about Sarah. Sarah Imeinu is the wife of Abraham and Mother of the Jewish Nation. Sarah was the first matriarch, and Abraham was the first patriarch (father), of our Jewish people. She was born and raised from the city of Ur, Kasdim, the Sumerian city of Ur.
Sarah’s early life consists of many different names for herself. As a young girl, she was originally known as Yisach (Jessica), which means “to see.” She is said to have been born blessed with divine inspiration. She was exceedingly beautiful, so her original name reflected her beauty. She was a prophetess and had the ability to see into the future. Another reason for the name “Yisach” was because people used to gaze at her beauty. She changed her

I see her as our mother. She a “modern” woman. She led her life with a clear vision and purpose. She had the courage to follow her own convictions, no matter how progressive they were at the time. She led her life as a role model for women of her era. She changed the world positively. She left the world a changed place because of her strength and insight. The most impressive thing about Sarah to me was her popularity, power, and strength. Siftei Chachamim, a famed 17th-century Torah commentator, wrote that Sarah’s level of prophecy was actually superior to that of Abraham. It is said that Sarah was such a powerful prophetess that God spoke to her directly, while to the others he spoke through a messenger. She was entirely free of sin, and she was exceptionally modest. One event that changed Sarah’s life was her giving birth to Isaac. God made a covenant with Abraham. This was that his wife (Sarah) would conceive a son. The couple both laughed at this promise. God’s covenant come true and Sarah gave birth to a son named Isaac. His name is ironic because it means

In Delta, Louisiana Sarah Breedlove was born to parents Minerva and Owen Breedlove on December 23, 1867. Sarah was the first unrestricted child to her recently freed (from slavery) parents. Sarah’s parents worked on a cotton field, when Sarah was old enough she worked with them. Although Sarah had a lot of work she managed to have fun with other children. They went to fish fries where people sang and danced, in addition they went to church on Sundays with their families. When Sarah was about 5 years old her mother unexpectedly died and less than 2 years later her father died. Sarah went to live with her sister, Louvenia and her husband, who was very cruel to Sarah. In 1878 the 3 moved to Vicksburg, Mississippi because of the yellow fever outburst.
Also mentioned in the Old Testament was Sarah. Though she did not lead any wars, she was very sacrificial. Sarah belonged to royal lineage; she was the wife of the prophet Abraham, and the mother of Isaac. She was originally named Sarai, she was Abraham’s first wife. It was Sarah who suggested that Abraham fulfill God’s promises by having sexual relations with Hagar, her personal maid, which was a great sacrifice on her part. However, as the man, this mistake was on Abraham’s shoulders, because he chose to listen to his wife and do the wrong thing. Sarah bore her first son, Isaac, when she was 91 years of age, past the time of being able to conceive (Gen. 18:13). The idea behind this unusual birth was to foreshadow the birth of our Lord. Their
