It is certainly remarkable that there existed a rabbinic legend of another long-lived sjiiutly woman. Serah. the daughter of Asher, who was permitted to live all through the years of Egyptian oppression in order that she might aid in the redemption of Israel by the discovery of the bones of Joseph (Mek., Beshalah, i.).
