Genesis 23 — Sketch

These Are Human Stories

Big Idea:⁠

  • Sarah dies at age 127 in Canaan.

  • Abraham mourns her death.

  • Abraham asks the Hittites to sell him a tomb so he can properly bury Sarah.

  • Ephron the Hittite offers Abraham a tomb as a gift, but Abraham insists on paying for it.

  • Abraham buries Sarah in a cave in the Field of Machpelah.⁠

    Jesus in This Chapter:

Sarah went to live in a foreign land and died there. Jesus entered creation and died here.
