Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: The Greek word Σάρρα is derived from the Hebrew name שָׂרָה (Sarah), which means "princess" or "noblewoman."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H8283 שָׂרָה (Sarah)

Usage: The name Σάρρα appears in the New Testament, specifically in references to the Old Testament figure Sarah, highlighting her role in the narrative of God's covenant with Abraham and the birth of Isaac.

Context: Sarah, originally named Sarai, is a prominent figure in the biblical narrative, known for her role as the wife of Abraham and the mother of Isaac. Her story is primarily found in the Book of Genesis, where she is depicted as a woman of faith and perseverance. Despite her initial barrenness, Sarah is promised by God that she will bear a son, Isaac, through whom God's covenant with Abraham will be fulfilled.

In the New Testament, Sarah is mentioned in several passages, including Romans 4:19, Hebrews 11:11, and 1 Peter 3:6, where she is commended for her faith and obedience. Her story is often used as an example of God's faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises, even when circumstances seem impossible.

Sarah's life is marked by significant events, such as her name change from Sarai to Sarah, symbolizing her role in God's plan. Her laughter upon hearing the promise of a son in her old age (Genesis 18:12) is a testament to the miraculous nature of Isaac's birth. Sarah's legacy is further emphasized in the New Testament, where she is portrayed as a model of faith for believers.
