Biblical Women in the Bible
Introduction
Several women in the Bible did wrong, and many are examples of those who did valiantly. In this article, I will share seven great women in the Bible. Therefore, as we approach the celebration of the yearly Mother’s day event, the lives of these women should be an inspiration for Christian women today.
Eve:
The first woman created by God, Eve, is known for her role in the story of Adam and Eve in the book of Genesis. She is often associated with the temptation in the Garden of Eden. Eve is the first Biblical woman chronologically.
EVE, noun The consort of Adam, and mother of the human race; so called by Adam, because she was the mother of all living. In this case, the word would properly belong to the Hebrew. But the Hebrew name is havah or chavah, coinciding with the verb, to shew, to discover, and Parkhurst hence denominates eve the manifester. In the Septuagint, eve in Genesis 3:20, is rendered life; but in Genesis 4:1,
it is rendered Euan or Evan. The reason of this variation is not obvious, as the Hebrew is the same in both passages. In Russ. eve is Evva. In the Chickasaw language of America, a wife is called awah, says Adair.

Sarah:
The wife of Abraham, Sarah, is remembered for her faith and for giving birth to Isaac in her old age, despite initially doubting God’s promise.
Reference: Genesis 17:15–21; Genesis 21:1–7.
Sarah
(princess).
The wife and half-sister, (Genesis 20:12) of Abraham, and mother of Isaac. Her name is first introduced in (Genesis 11:29) as Sarai. The change of her name from Sarai, my princess (i.e. Abraham’s), to Sarah, princess (for all the race), was made at the same time that Abram’s name was changed to Abraham,on the establishment of the covenant of circumcision between him and God. Sarah’s history is of course that of Abraham. [ABRAHAM] She died at Hebron at the age of 127 years, 28 years before her husband and was buried by him in the cave of (B.C. 1860.) 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)
