Serah

Serach bat Asher was, in the Tanakh, 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, and her name occurs in connection with the census taken by Moses in the wilderness. She is also mentioned among the descendants of Asher in I Chronicles 7:30. The fact of her being the only woman to be mentioned in the genealogical lists indicates her extraordinary longevity—an outcome of the blessing for longevity she received from Jacob. She is also the heroine of several legends.
