Not on this thread, no. But in almost every concordance in the NT I have ever read, the only thing it says about Sarah is that she was Isaac’s mother.
There are many, many women who get short shrift in the concordances, if they are even mentioned at all.
Manoah
Does anyone even knpw who she was?
Manoah from the book of Judges ?
His wife was Samsons mother but it does not list her name.
I am sorry. I did mean to say Mamoah’s wife. My bad. What I meant to point out was that the wife was the one the angel of G-d spoke to.
“And the angel of HaShem appeared unto the woman, and said unto her: ‘Behold now, thou art barren, and hast not borne; but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.”
This is the Hebrew tradition of Dual Paternuty. Abba in Heavem abd Abba on earth. That every child has two fathers and only obe mother.
I posted in a hurry after just returming from a Dr. appointment. Had some tests done and was a still a tad woozed out. I am not usually so careless, but it has always been one of my pet peeves that all the evils of the world are lain at the feet of women in the Bible...
I am sorry. I know this isn’t really a discussion thread so I will try to hold this stuff back from now on.

Prayers For The Peace Of Jerusalem and to all, in Jesus Name, Amen.
They align themselves with it because they hate God.
Liberalism has nothing to do with the freedom and education of women , they just use that as an excuse to manipulate them into doing what they want.
(take a good look at how they actually treat the women... what amazes me is how many not so bright women there are who actually fall for their tricks )
Interesting concept , thanks.
I sort of figured out what you meant before because I am used to having to figure out what I have written without my glasses (don’t feel bad I skip over entire sentences without them )
Hope you feel better.
