Serach

Serach bat Asher was, in the Torah, a daughter of Asher, the son of Jacob. She is one of the seventy members of the Patriarch's family who emigrated from Canaan to Egypt in Genesis 46:17. Her name occurs in connection with the census taken by Moses in the wilderness in Numbers 26: 46. She is also mentioned among the descendants of Asher in 1 Chronicles 7:30. Since she is the only woman mentioned in the genealogical lists, this is believed to indicate her extraordinary longevity—an outcome of the blessing she received from Jacob. She is also the heroine of several legends.
