She already had two children, Aaron and Miriam, when Moses was born. We don’t know a lot about her, except that she was a slave in Egypt along with all of the other Israelites at that time. Exodus 2:8 (ESV) “And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, ‘Go.’ So the girl went and called the child’s mother.”Īnother mother of great importance in the Old Testament is Jochebed, the mother of Moses.
Sarah was blessed, and many kings came from her lineage because of her obedience to God and to Abraham. This son of promise, and his descendants, eventually became the nation of Israel just as the Lord said in this passage. However, at the last second, God provided an alternate sacrifice, and the boy was saved. In spite of Abraham’s horror and pain, he took his son to a mountain in the region of Moriah and was prepared to give him back to God. When this precious son was 12 years old, the Lord tested Abraham and asked him to take Isaac up on the mountain and sacrifice him. At the time, Sarah was barren, but the Lord came to Abraham and told him that they would have a son, Isaac. Abraham obeyed the Lord’s call, and traveled a great distance to get to the land of Canaan where God promised him that he would become a great nation. Her husband, Abraham, was called to leave his family and friends in Ur of the Chaldeans and go to a place that God would show him. Sarah, the mother of Isaac, is often considered the “mother” of the Israelite nation.
I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations, kings of peoples will come from her.” Genesis 17:16 (NIV) “I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her.
