Sarai's Introduction
In iBIBLE Genesis, we meet Sarai, who is later renamed Sarah by God. Her appearance helps us understand her story and who she was. Step behind-the-scenes to see how the introduction of Sarai in iBIBLE Episode 8 is illustrated.
We know from Scripture that Sarai was beautiful, as both her husband Abram and the Egyptians made mention of it (see Genesis 12:11, 14). Her beauty was so striking that she was taken by two different leaders (see Genesis 12:15; 20:1–18).
Sarai is illustrated in iBIBLE with long, voluminous hair and blue eyes to help set her apart from other characters in the scenes in which she appears. She is shown clothed in a pink robe and scarf, as this is a color that was available at the time, but is rarely used for other characters. This distinction makes her instantly recognizable across iBIBLE episodes.
We also learn in her introduction in Scripture that she was not able to have children: “Now Sarai was barren; she had no child” (Genesis 11:30). Though this fact is heartbreaking, it ultimately set the stage for the miracle that God would work in her life, and the provision He made for the Promised Messiah to descend through her and Abram.
Sarai’s story shows reliance and faith in God, Who promised her a son and fulfilled His promise—even when it was beyond human ability to conceive!
