Sarah, the wife of Abraham, is named once in the Book of Mormon, in Nephi’s quotation of Isaiah. Addressing those who follow after righteousness, the passage tells them to look to the rock from which they were hewn—“unto Abraham, your father, and unto Sarah, she that bare you; for I called him alone, and blessed him” (2 Nephi 8:2). Her name means “princess.” The preceding verse sets up the imagery: hearken to “the rock from whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit from whence ye are digged” (2 Nephi 8:1)—rock and pit metaphors that the following verse applies to Abraham and Sarah as the ancestral figures from whom the covenant people descend. The passage closes, however, by reverting to the masculine: it was Abraham whom God called alone and blessed, preserving an asymmetry in which Sarah carries the covenant lineage while Abraham is the one directly called.
