Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the name Serach, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not appear in the Greek New Testament.

Usage: The name Serach appears in the context of genealogical records within the Hebrew Bible. She is noted as a daughter of Asher, one of the sons of Jacob.

Context: Serach is mentioned in the genealogical listings of the tribes of Israel. She is identified as the daughter of Asher, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, making her a granddaughter of Jacob. Her name appears in the following passages:

Genesis 46:17: "The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and their sister Serach. The sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel."
Numbers 26:46: "And the name of the daughter of Asher was Serach."
1 Chronicles 7:30: "The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, and Beriah. Their sister was Serach."

Serach's inclusion in these genealogies is notable, as it is relatively uncommon for women to be listed in such records unless they hold particular significance. Jewish tradition and extra-biblical sources often expand on her story, attributing to her a long life and wisdom, though these accounts are not found in the canonical text.
