Princes. The Hebrew word or Sarim means princes, rulers, chiefs or elders of the Jews. In the Hebrew Bible when Jeremiah references the power of the princes in relationship to King Zedekiah the Hebrew Bible uses the word Sarim or princes denoting those 'ruling elders of the church' in whom is vested the authority of exercising the Law of Moses and over the Temple and the 'Church' or congregation of the Jews in respect to the Law of Moses, such as was held by the Sanhedrin in the days of Christ despite the rule of Rome of local Jewish king, and they were the equivalent of the 'Seventy' in the days of Moses. As in the days of Christ, the Sarim of the days of Jeremiah maintained their own 'enforcement' officers and captians. It appear that Laban was one such 'Captain of the Temple' in the days of Lehi.

The 'Sarim' or 'Princes of the Jews' were subordiante to God but in the service of God in their positions held within the Jewish system of government which was dully administered by 'Church' and 'State'. This was the 'balance' of goverment between the 'King' and the Jewish Church or religion under the Law of Moses.

The wife of Abraham. From Gen. 11: 29 - 17: 15 the form of the name used is Sarai (which possibly means contentions, or more probably is another form of Sarah). She was married to Abraham before he left Ur. In her old age she became the mother of Isaac (Gen. 21: 2). She died 28 years before her husband and was buried in the cave of Machpelah at Hebron (Gen. 23: 2). See also Isa. 51: 2; Rom. 4: 19; Heb. 11: 11; 1 Pet. 3: 6.
