Bible Person
Meaning: lady of scent; song; the morning star · Female · 3 cross references
Serah is the daughter of Asher and one of the few named women preserved in Israel's tribal genealogies. Her presence marks a memorable exception within the overwhelmingly male pattern of ancestral lists. First appears in Gen 46:17.1
AI summary: Serah matters because the cross references keep her name visible across Genesis, Numbers, and Chronicles, giving unusual continuity to a female figure in tribal memory. Her inclusion suggests that certain members of Israel's ancestral families were remembered with special distinctness even when no extended narrative is attached. Taken together, the material presents Serah as an Asherite daughter whose preserved name stands out within the genealogy of the tribes.1
