Who is Sarai in The Bible?
Sarai is the wife of Abram. After Abram made a covenant with GOD, GOD changed his name to Abraham. His wife was no longer Sarai, but Sarah. She is the Mother of nations, not the Bible. For the Bible was not written yet. It would not get its first book for another 500 years or so.
Where is sarai in the Bible found?
Sarai's name is first mentioned in Genesis 11:29-31. Sarai is believed to mean: Princess. The Lord changed her name to Sarah (princess of nations). At the same time the Lord changed Abram's name (exalted father) to Abraham( father of many nations) See Geneses 17:5,15. Sarai was Abram's brothers daughter, Haran, who died. She and Lot where adopted by Abram's father, Terah. When Abram travelled to Egypt with Sarai, his wife at that time, he did not lie when he told the Egyptians that she was his sister. Technically she was, being the adopted daughter of his father.>

Commentary on Genesis chapter 16?
Abram was married to Sarai who couldn't have children. She had a servant called Hagar and because Sarai was so desperate for children she told Abram to sleep with Hagar and if Hagar got pregnant, she would have the baby and then Abram and Sarai would raise it as their own. Abram agreed and Hagar got pregnant. Hagar began to hate Sarai and Sarai was upset and said that God should judge whether Sarai or Abram was right or wrong. Abram told her that Hagar was her servant and she should do what she wanted with her. Sarai was horrible to Hagar and Hagar ran away. While Hagar was running away, she saw an angel who aksed her what she was doing and she told the angel that she was running away from Sarai. The angel told her to go back to Sarai. The angel also told her to name the child Ishmael and that no-one would like him.
What is the name of Abram's wife in the Bible?
Sarah; originally Sarai (Genesis ch.11 and 17).
Why did Sarai become Sarah?
This is hard to explain. The Book of Genesis says that God gave Sarai the new name, Sarah, when he gave Abram the new name of Abraham. However, Sarai and Sarah have the same meaning in Hebrew, both meaning 'Princess'.
When is sara first mentioned in the bible?
Sara is not mentioned in the Bible. Sarah is probably who you are asking about. The name Sarah is first mentioned in Genesis 17:15 when God changed Sarai's name to Sarah (after he changed Abram's name to Abraham). Sarai is first mentioned in Genesis 11:29 as Abram's wife.
What was sarai's problem?
Sarai's problem was that she was unable to conceive a child, which caused her emotional distress and led her to offer her maid, Hagar, to bear a child with her husband, Abram, in order to fulfill God's promise of descendants.
What is the first mention of angel in the bible?
Genesis 16:6-8 "But Abram said to Sarai, "Behold, your maid is in your power; do to her what is good in your sight." So Sarai treated her harshly, and she fled from her presence. Now the angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur. He said, "Hagar, Sarai's maid, where have you come from and where are you going?" And she said, "I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai."
Who are Abrahams and Sarah sons in the bible in Genses?
Abraham actually had two sons, Sarah only had one. Let me explain. God had appeared to Abraham, who was called Abram back then, and told him that he was going to have a baby. Of course, Abram was unsure about this since he and his wife were each about one hundred years old. Sarah, who was called Sarai back then, heard this and she didn't believe it. So, she told Abram to take her slave, Hagar, and go have a baby. Back then, that wasn't considered a problem. So, Hagar and Abram had a baby named Ishmael. Much later on, Abram and Sarai had a baby and they named him Isaac. They were later renamed Abraham and Sarah.
