<p> (Σάῤῥα ), a Graecized form of the Heb. name | <p> ( '''''Σάῤῥα''''' ), a Graecized form of the Heb. name Sarah (q.v.), applied to two women in the [[Apocrypha]] and New Test. </p> <p> '''1.''' The wife of [[Abraham]] ( Hebrews 11:11; 1 Peter 3:6)., </p> <p> '''2.''' The daughter of [[Raguel]] and Edna, betrothed to her cousin Tobias, a native of [[Ecbatana]] in Media, in the apocryphal history of Tobit. As the story goes, she had been married to seven husbands, who were all slain on the wedding night by Asmodaeus, the evil spirit, who loved her (Tobit 3, 7). This spirit the rabbins call Ashmedai, and say he was the incestuous offspring of [[Tubal-Cain]] by his sister Naama, who became the mother of many devils; and that he was enamored of the beauty of [[Sara]] as the angels were of the daughters of men (Genesis 5). (See [[Asmodaeus]]). The breaking of the spell and the chasing away of the evil spirit by the "fishy fume," when Sara was married to Tobias, with whom she afterwards lived in peace, are told in ch. 8. (See [[Tobit]]). </p> | ||
