Sa´rah (a princess, a noble lady), the wife of Abraham, and mother of Isaac. She was at first called Sarai, which Ewald explains to mean contentious, quarrelsome. As Sarah never appears but in connection with some circumstance in which her husband was principally concerned, all the facts of her history have already been given in the article Abraham, and her conduct to Hagar is considered in the article Hagar.
