God Blesses Sarah
HAL - God: to bless = to endue someone with special power: woman Gen 17:16

Israel h3478. יִשְׂרָאֵל Yisrâʾêl, yis-raw-ale´; from 8280 and 410; he will rule as God; Jisraël, a symbolical name of Jacob; also (typically) of his posterity:—Israel.
Sarah h8280. שָׂרָה sârâh, saw-raw´; a prim. root; to prevail:—have power (as a prince).
Everlasting God, Almighty God, Most High God h410. אֵל ʾêl, ale; short. from 352; strength; as adj. mighty; espec. the Almighty (but used also of any deity):—

Romans 2:28–29 Caution against Hypocrisy
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter (Law); whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Jeremiah 32:40 (KJV) God’s Assurance of the People’s Return
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

God’s covenant is to put wisdom in our hearts (Jer 32:40)

Proverbs 14:33 (NKJV)
33 Wisdom (h2451) rests in the heart of him who has understanding, But what is in the heart of fools is made known.

Heart h3820. לֵב lêb, labe; a form of 3824; the heart; also used (fig.) very widely for the feelings, the will and even the intellect; likewise for the centre of anything:—

LTW - (lēb); לֵבָב (lēbāb). n. masc. heart, mind, self, inner person. Refers to the central organ of the body and to inner person, generally as the seat of emotions, desires, or the will.
While the heart can be used literally for the vital organ, the majority of the uses of the term in the Bible treat the “heart” as the seat of a person’s emotions, passions, and thoughts. The heart is the central living, thinking, feeling essence of a person.

You can see the Holy Spirit resemblance to Wisdom – “Resting”

John 1:33 (HCSB) The Testimony of John Concerning Christ
33 I didn’t know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The One you see the Spirit descending and resting on—He is the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

Job 28:28 (KJV)
28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear h3374 of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.
