sarah - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Sarah
  princess, the wife and at the same time the half-sister of
  Abraham (Gen. 11:29; 20:12). This name was given to her at the
  time that it was announced to Abraham that she should be the
  mother of the promised child. Her story is from her marriage
  identified with that of the patriarch till the time of her
  death. Her death, at the age of one hundred and twenty-seven
  years (the only instance in Scripture where the age of a woman
  is recorded), was the occasion of Abraham's purchasing the cave
  of Machpelah as a family burying-place.
  
    In the allegory of Gal. 4:22-31 she is the type of the
  "Jerusalem which is above." She is also mentioned as Sara in
  Heb. 11:11 among the Old Testament worthies, who "all died in
  faith." (See ABRAHAM.)
