Strong's Lexicon serach: Serah Original Word: סֶרַח Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root סָרַח (sarah), meaning "to extend" or "to spread out." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Serah in the Septuagint or New Testament, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The name "Serah" refers to a female figure in the Hebrew Bible, specifically mentioned as a daughter of Asher, one of the sons of Jacob. The name is often associated with abundance or extension, possibly reflecting her role or significance within her family lineage. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israelite society, genealogies were crucial for establishing tribal identities and inheritance rights. Serah's inclusion in the genealogical records, such as in Genesis 46:17, highlights her importance within the tribe of Asher. Jewish tradition holds that Serah lived an exceptionally long life and was a bearer of oral history, including the knowledge of Joseph's burial place.
