Usage: The name "Sharay" is used in the context of the Hebrew Bible to refer to a specific individual, Sarai, who is later renamed Sarah. She is a significant biblical figure, known as the wife of Abraham and the mother of Isaac. Context: • Sarai/Sharai: Sarai, later known as Sarah, is a prominent figure in the Hebrew Bible. She is introduced in Genesis as the wife of Abram (later Abraham) and is noted for her beauty and her role in the covenantal promises made by God to Abraham. Sarai is initially barren, which is a central theme in her narrative, leading to the birth of Ishmael through her maidservant Hagar. However, God promises Abraham that Sarai will bear a son, Isaac, through whom the covenant will be established. Her name change from Sarai to Sarah signifies her transformation and the fulfillment of God's promise. The name "Sarah" means "princess," reflecting her status as the matriarch of the Israelite people. Sarai's story is foundational in the Abrahamic faiths, illustrating themes of faith, patience, and divine intervention.
