Genesis 23:

Summary: Sarah dies at the age of 127. Abraham buys a field and cave to bury Sarah in.

Personal Reflection: Okay, I don't have too much to say here. David Guzik gives us some interesting insight into Sarah's character in general. There are a couple of things he brings up that I want to emphasize. First, the manner in which Abraham and Ephron interact is very Arab today. The land is offered as a gift, Abraham names a price, and Ephron names a different price.

Also, Guzik doesn't mention this, but it is important that Abraham buys the land and doesn't accept it as a gift. Because he buys it, he owns it and it won't be given to Ephron's sons after Ephron's death.

Note: Phew. I was glad to have a break today. Back into more great stuff tomorrow.
