Serach bat Asher () was, in the Torah, 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 in Genesis 46:17. Her name occurs in connection with the census taken by Moses in the wilderness in Numbers 26: 46. She is also mentioned among the descendants of Asher in 1 Chronicles 7:30. Since she is the only woman mentioned in the genealogical lists, this is believed to indicate her extraordinary longevity—an outcome of the blessing she received from Jacob. She is also the heroine of several legends.

==In the Torah== There are two mentions of Serach in the Torah. The first mention occurs in Genesis 46:17, which begins: "These are the names of the Israelites, Jacob and his descendants, who came to Egypt." This passage lists all of Jacob's sons, his daughter Dinah, his grandsons, and one granddaughter—Serach. The verse states, "The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beri’ah, with Serach their sister." This sentence is repeated later in the Hebrew Bible in 1 Chronicles 7:30. Given that the Torah lists 53 grandsons and only one granddaughter, it suggests that Serach was a person of significance. Additionally, Serach is mentioned a second time in the book of Numbers 26:46.
