WEEKLY BIBLE COMMENTARY 1-21

Genesis 23 – “Sarah Dies”
Sarah was 120 years old when she passed away. Abraham is in the land which he will inherit one day, but at that time he owns none of it. So, he buys the field that has the “Lave of Machpelah” in it for 400 shekels of silver from Ephron, one of the sons of Heth. The field and the cave was deeded over to him as the burial spot for Sarah. Abraham now owns one parcel of land in the land of Canaan!
