Best Answer

Sarah was Abraham's wife. Originally, her name was Sarai, but God changed her name and Abraham's (from Abram) when he made the covenant with them. She was recognized for having a child in her old age (past the years of childbearing); his name was Isaac, and God tested Abraham to see if he was faithful when he told him to sacrifice Isaac at the altar.

Who is the oldest mother in the Bible?

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.


Who was Sarah's father in the Bible?

This detail is not supplied in the Bible. No mention is made of Sarai's parents (Sarai was her original name).AnswerTwice in the Bible, Abraham passed Sarah off as his sister, although she was (also) his wife. This claim would make Terah, Abraham's father, the father of Sarah. If Sarah was the daughter of Terah, and with the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah, and of Jacob and Leah and Rachel, the patriarchal family line is a self-contained unit, originating solely in Terah, with no pathways to or from the outer world. The children of Israel were all descended solely from Terah, through both male and female lines all the way back to Abraham and Sarah. The Bible does not confirm that Sarah was Abraham's sister, but there is a consistency here that makes compelling sense for her to be, and therefore the daughter of Terah.
