Cultural and Historical Background: Sarah, originally named Sarai, was a key matriarch in the Hebrew Bible. Her life is chronicled in the Book of Genesis, where she is depicted as a woman of beauty and faith. Despite her initial barrenness, God promised Abraham that she would be "a mother of nations" (Genesis 17:16). Her name was changed from Sarai to Sarah, meaning "princess," signifying her role in the divine promise. Her account is intertwined with the cultural practices of the time, including the custom of concubinage, as seen in her relationship with Hagar.
