GENESIS 23

THE DEATH + BURIAL OF SARAH 

Sarah dies at the age of 127. Abraham buys the cave of Machpelah in Canaan and buries her there. Although God had promised Abraham the land of Canaan, this is the first piece he officially owns. It marks a small but significant step in the fulfillment of God’s promise.
