Sarah

Sarah, originally named Sarai, was the wife of Abraham and the mother of Isaac, through whom the covenant promises were transmitted. Despite being barren into old age, God miraculously enabled her to conceive at ninety, and she bore Isaac ('he laughs'), a name reflecting her incredulous laughter at the announcement of the birth (Genesis 17:17; 18:12–15; 21:1–7). She is remembered for her faith in the New Testament (Hebrews 11:11) and praised by Peter as a model of the faithful and submissive wife (1 Peter 3:6). Sarah died at 127 years of age in Hebron and was buried in the cave of Machpelah, the first piece of Canaan acquired by the patriarchal family (Genesis 23).
