Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

It came to pass the same day, that in Ecbatane a city of Media Sara the daughter of Raguel was also reproached by her father’s maids;

And Raphael was sent to heal them both, that is, to scale away the whiteness of Tobit’s eyes, and to give Sara the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son of Tobit; and to bind Asmodeus the evil spirit; because she belonged to Tobias by right of inheritance. The selfsame time came Tobit home, and entered into his house, and Sara the daughter of Raguel came down from her upper chamber.

The selfsame time came Tobit home, and entered into his house, and Sara the daughter of Raguel came down from her upper chamber.

The angel said to the young man, Brother, to day we shall lodge with Raguel, who is thy cousin; he also hath one only daughter, named Sara; I will speak for her, that she may be given thee for a wife.

And when they were come to Ecbatane, they came to the house of Raguel, and Sara met them: and after they had saluted one another, she brought them into the house.

And likewise Edna his wife and Sara his daughter wept. Moreover they entertained them cheerfully; and after that they had killed a ram of the flock, they set store of meat on the table. Then said Tobias to Raphael, Brother Azarias, speak of those things of which thou didst talk in the way, and let this business be dispatched.

Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them;

Then Raguel arose, and gave him Sara his wife, and half his goods, servants, and cattle, and money:

And he said to his daughter, Honour thy father and thy mother in law, which are now thy parents, that I may hear good report of thee. And he kissed her. Edna also said to Tobias, The Lord of heaven restore thee, my dear brother, and grant that I may see thy children of my daughter Sara before I die, that I may rejoice before the Lord: behold, I commit my daughter unto thee of special trust; where are do not entreat her evil.

But Tobias gave thanks before them, because God had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sara his daughter in law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and blessed be thy father and thy mother. And there was joy among all his brethren which were at Nineve.

Now therefore, when thou didst pray, and Sara thy daughter in law, I did bring the remembrance of your prayers before the Holy One: and when thou didst bury the dead, I was with thee likewise.

And now God hath sent me to heal thee and Sara thy daughter in law.

And God appeared unto Abraham saying: Unto thy seed will I give this land; and thy name shall be called Abraham, and Sarai thy wife shall be called Sara. And I will give thee of her an eternal seed and make my covenant with thee. And Abraham knew Sara his wife, and she conceived and bare Isaac.

And Jesus came in the morning and assembled all the people and said unto them: Thus saith the Lord: One rock was there from whence I digged out your father, and the cutting of that rock brought forth two men, whose names were Abraham and Nachor, and out of the chiselling of that place were born two women whose names were Sara and Melcha. And they dwelled together beyond the river. And Abraham took Sara to wife and Nachor took Melcha.

And they dwelled together beyond the river. And Abraham took Sara to wife and Nachor took Melcha.

And Abraham returned to his abode, and he took Sara (Sarah) his wife, and went forth and did not go back to his father, and his mother, and his house, and his kinsfolk; and he forsook them all for God's sake.

Ye in whose bellies the Pearl shall be carried shall be saved with your wives, and none of you shall be destroyed, from your father Adam unto him that shall come, thy kinsman `Eyakem (Joachim), and from Eve thy mother, the wife of Adam, to Noah and his wife Tarmiza, to Tara (Terah) and his wife `Aminya, and to Abraham and his wife Sara (Sarah), and to Isaac and his wife Rebka (Rebecca), and to Jacob and his wife Leya (Leah), and to Yahuda and his bride Te'emar (Tamar), and to thy father and his wife Bersabeh.

And Terah, the father of Abraham, lived two hundred and fifty years, and he died, and Abraham and Lot buried him in Harr4n. And there God spoke unto Abraham, and said unto him, “‘ Get thee forth from thy land, and from among thy people, and come to the land which I will show thee.” And Abraham took his household, Sara his wife, and Lot, his brother’s son, and he went up to the land of the Amérayé (Amorites); and he was seventy-five years old when he crossed the desert from the Euphrates. And he was eighty years old when he pursued the kings, and rescued Lot, his brother’s son.

And at that time Abraham had no son, because Sara was barren.

And when Abraham was eighty-six years old Ishmael was born to him by Haghar, the Egyptian woman, whom Pharaoh had given to Sara as a handmaiden. Now Sara was the sister of Abraham on the father’s side, because Terah took two women to wife. When YAawnit, the mother of Abraham, died, Terah took to wife a woman whose name was “ Naharyath’”’ (or Shalmath, or Tona, or Tahdif), and of her Sara was born. It was because of this [fact] that Abraham said, ‘“‘ She is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother” (Gen. xx. '2,°5):

And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when God went into his house and gave Sara a son, and he was one hundred years old when Isaac was born to him. And Isaac was thirteen years old when his father took him and went up to the mountain of Yabhds (Jebus) to Melchisedek, the priest of God, the Most High.. Now Mount Yabhés is the mountain of the Amérayé (Amorites), and in that place the Cross of Christ was set up, and on it grew the tree which held the ram that saved Isaac. And that same place is the centre of the earth, and the grave of Adam, and the altar of Melchisedek, and Golgotha, and Karkafta, and Gefifta (Gabbatha). And there David saw the angel bearing the sword of fire. There, too, Abraham took up Isaac his son for a burnt offering, and he saw the Cross, and Christ, and the redemption of our father Adam. The tree (i.e. thicket) was a symbol of the Cross of Christ our Lord, and the ram [caught] in its branches was the mystery of the manhood of the Word, the Only One. And, because of this, Paul cried out and said, ‘“‘ If they had only known [it] they were not crucifying the Lord of glory.”’ Let the mouths of the heretics be stopped who in their madness impute passibility to the Eternal God.

And when Sara, the wife of Abraham, died, Abraham took to wife Kentéra, the daughter of Baktor, the king of the desert. And there were born unto him by her Zamran, and Yakshan, and Madhan, and Medhyan, and Ashbak, ‘and’ Shok:- And from these are sprung the Arabs.

And when Isaac was forty years old, Eliezer, a son of the house of Abraham, went down and brought Rabka (Rebecca) from the east, and Isaac took her to wife. And when Abraham died Isaac buried him by the side of Sara.

Terah took two wives, Y6na and Salmith; by Yona he begot Abraham, and by Salmiith he begot Sara (Sarah).
