Sarah (sâ'rah), princess. 1. The wife and half-sister, Genesis 20:12, of Abraham, and mother of Isaac. Her name is written Sarai in Genesis 11:29. The change of her name from Sarai, my princess (i.e. Abraham's), to Sarah, princess, was made when Abram's name was changed to Abraham. She died at Hebron at the age of 127 years, 28 years before her husband, and was burled by him in the cave of Machpelah. She is referred to in the New Testament as a type of conjugal obedience in 1 Peter 3:6, and as one of the types of faith in Hebrews 11:11.
