Joe: Alright, so what do we got here?

Bible Expert: Well, this chapter is about Abraham's purchase of the Cave of Machpelah for a burial site for his wife Sarah.

Joe: Huh, so he just bought this cave?

Bible Expert: Correct. He had to buy it from the Hittites who owned it.

Joe: Interesting... so what did he use to purchase the cave?

Bible Expert: He used 400 shekels of silver to pay for it.

Joe: Wow! That's a lot of money.

Bible Expert: It is indeed.

Joe: Alright, so everyone was happy with the transaction?

Bible Expert: Yes, the Hittites agreed to the transaction and Abraham was able to bury his wife in the cave.

Joe: Cool, so Abraham is a real estate mogul now, huh?

Bible Expert: (Laughs) I suppose you could say that.

Joe: Alright, so what else happens in this chapter?

Bible Expert: Well, it also mentions that Abraham's servant Eliezer accompanied him to the transaction as well as the Hittite elders.

Joe: Interesting. Anything else?

Bible Expert: Yes, it's also mentioned that the Hittites gave Abraham the land in which the cave was located, from the brook of Kidron all the way to the border of the Philistines.

Joe: Wow, so Abraham got a lot of land for his 400 shekels.

Bible Expert: Indeed he did.

Joe: Alright, so that's the end of Genesis 23. Anything else you want to add?

Bible Expert: Just that this chapter is a great example of how much faith and trust Abraham had in God and how God blessed him in return.
