1:7 Elizabeth was unable to conceive: Childbearing was viewed as the highest calling for a woman, and infertility brought social stigma and shame. God miraculously intervened in the lives of various Old Testament women so they could bear children (Gen 18:10-12; 25:21; 30:22-23; Judg 13; 1 Sam 1:1-28).
