Sarah, the wife of Abraham, became pregnant and gave birth to Isaac when she was ninety years old (Genesis 17:17 and 21:1). This qualifies as a miraculous birth. There are six more such births listed in the Bible.

Isaac's wife, Rebekah, was barren (Genesis 25:21) but the Lord blessed her and she had Jacob and Esau. Jacob's beloved wife, Rachel, was childless. The Lord heard her prayers and she became pregnant and delivered Joseph (Genesis 30:22).

The next miraculous birth in the Bible does not appear until many years later, in the time of the Judges of Israel. We are not given the name of the mother, but are informed that she was sterile (Judges 13:2). The child she gave birth to was Samson, perhaps the mightiest man of the Bible.

The Lord had closed the womb of Hannah for many years. However, the Lord heard her prayers and she gave birth to Samuel, the first prophet of Israel (I Samuel 1:1).

A thousand years later Elizabeth, who was "well along in years" became pregnant with John, known as the baptist (Luke 1:18-23). Six months later Mary was visited by an angel who informed her that she would have a child, Jesus, even though she was a virgin (Luke 1:26-35).

If you have been keeping track, you will have noticed that there are seven miraculous births listed in the Bible. They are:
1 - Isaac
2 - Jacob
3 - Joseph
4 - Samson
5 - Samuel
6 - John
7 - Jesus
