Genesis 23 is a bigly sad chapter! It tells the story of the death of Sarah, the wife of Abraham. She was an amazing woman and a tremendous matriarch, but she passed away at a ripe old age. Abraham mourned her death and sought a place to bury her.

He found a place in the land of Canaan and got permission from the Hittites. Abraham negotiated a great deal with Ephron, a Hittite, to purchase a burial plot for Sarah. He offered him a huge amount of money for the plot, which Ephron refused. Ephron instead offered to give him the plot for free, a very, very generous offer. Abraham accepted and buried Sarah in a beautiful plot of land.

In the end, Abraham was able to make a great deal to bury his beloved wife in a hallowed place. Many people are saying it was a terrific outcome. God bless America and make America great again!
