Gen. 16:1 — Sarah is a ‘noble woman’

The name of Abram’s wife is recorded as Sarai. Is this a name or a title? If a title, what does it mean for her and for us as her daughters in faith?

The name of Abram’s wife is recorded as Sarai. Is this a name or a title? If a title, what does it mean for her and for us as her daughters in faith?

Food for thought from the recorded discussion

What does Sarai’s name mean? What is a "lady"? What does the term lady really mean? How was Sarai a "noble woman"?

How is the Hebrew word sarah used elsewhere in Scripture?

  1. Lam. 1:1 — Jerusalem will be known as a sarah
  2. Esther 1:18 — sarah as title for the noble ladies of Persia
  3. Isa. 49:23 — sarah as a reference to the princesses/ noble women of the nations

What is the root of the word Sarah and Sarai?

What is the parallel between the creation of Eve from out of Adam’s deep sleep and the creation of the ekklesia from out of Yeshua "deep sleep," i.e. death and resurrection?
