Sarah my master’s wife
This phrase highlights the significant role of Sarah, the wife of Abraham, in the fulfillment of God's covenant. The Hebrew name "Sarah" means "princess," reflecting her esteemed position. In the biblical narrative, Sarah is a matriarch, and her life is a testament to God's faithfulness. Her account is intertwined with themes of promise and fulfillment, as she bore Isaac, the child of promise, despite her old age. This miraculous birth underscores the divine intervention and the unfolding of God's plan through the lineage of Abraham.

bore a son
The act of bearing a son, especially in Sarah's old age, is a pivotal moment in the Genesis narrative. The Hebrew verb "yalad" (to bear or bring forth) is used here, emphasizing the miraculous nature of Isaac's birth. This event is not just a personal triumph for Sarah and Abraham but a crucial step in the establishment of the Israelite nation. Isaac's birth is a direct fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that he would be the father of many nations (Genesis 17:4-6).

to my master
The term "master" refers to Abraham, a central figure in the biblical narrative. Abraham is often seen as a model of faith and obedience, having left his homeland in response to God's call. The Hebrew word "adon" (master or lord) signifies respect and authority. Abraham's relationship with God is foundational to the covenantal promises that shape the rest of the biblical story. His faith journey is marked by trust in God's promises, even when fulfillment seemed impossible.

in her old age
This phrase underscores the miraculous nature of Isaac's birth. Sarah was well beyond the typical childbearing years, highlighting the divine intervention required for this event. The Hebrew term "zaqen" (old) is used to describe Sarah's advanced age, emphasizing the impossibility of the situation from a human perspective. This miracle serves as a testament to God's power and faithfulness, reinforcing the theme that nothing is too difficult for the Lord (Genesis 18:14).

and he has given him everything he owns
This statement reflects the transfer of Abraham's wealth and blessings to Isaac, the child of promise. The Hebrew verb "natan" (to give) indicates a deliberate and generous act. Isaac's inheritance is not just material wealth but also the spiritual legacy of God's covenant with Abraham. This transfer signifies the continuation of God's promises through Isaac, who becomes the next patriarch in the line leading to the nation of Israel. The phrase underscores the importance of inheritance and legacy in the biblical narrative, as God's promises are passed down through generations.
