Genesis 23:1-20( Sarah's death and burial) "23 Sarah lived 127 years; these were the years of the life of Sarah. 2 And Sarah died at Kiriath-arba( that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham(😊❤), went in to mourn for Sarah(😊❤) and to weep for her. 3 And Abraham rose up from his dead and said to the Hittites, 4 " I am a sojourner and foreigner among you; give me property among you for a burying place, that I may bury my dead out of my sight." 5 The Hittites answered Abraham(😊❤), 6(a) " Hear us, my lord; you are a prince of God( pause in the phase of " prince of God" lead me to Jesus(😊1st❤) is the prince of peace(😊1st❤) in Isaiah 9:6 "6 For to us a child is born to us a son( Jesus😊1st❤) is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor(😊1st❤), Mighty God(😊1st❤) Everlasting Father (😊1st❤), Prince of Peace(😊1st❤)."( Isaiah 9:6 ESV) now get back to the rest of the Scripture from Genesis 23:6b or Genesis 23:6 ) in Jesus'name, i pray( Isaiah 9:6 ( Jesus😊1st❤) Amen.) For your sake back to Genesis 23:6 6 " Hear us, my lord; you are a prince of God( "prince of God lead me to Jesus the Prince of Peace( Isaiah 9:6 b ESV from above shared in Christ) among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb to hinder you from burying your dead." 7 Abraham rose and bowed to the Hittites, the people of the land. 8 And he said to them, " If you are willing that i should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me and entreat for me Ephron the son of Zohar, 9 that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he owns; it is at the end of his field. For the full price( Jesus paid in full prince for you and I on the cross and back( Luke 24:1-12 ( The Resurrection) too = my ending Scriptures in Christ) let him give it to me in your presence as property for a burying places."( Genesis 23:1-9 ESV, praise God for Abraham is faithful to God and totally honest to God and to others too in Christ he paid full price for Sarah's burying place or land ("... the cave of Machpelah"( Genesis 23:9a ESV) instead in Christ. You will that in Genesis 23:10-16. Now back to Genesis 23:10-20 "10 Now Ephron was sitting among the Hittites, and Ephron the Hittite answer Abraham in the hearing of the Hittites, of all who went in at the gate of his city, 11 " No, my lord, hear me: I give you the field, and I give you the cave( Cave of Machpelah( Genesis 23:9A) ) that is in it In the sight of the sons of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead." 12 Then Abraham (😊❤) bowed down before the people of the land. 13 And he said to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, " But if you will, hear me: I give you the price of the field. Accept it from me, that i may bury my dead there." 14 Ephron answered Abraham, "My lord, listen to me: a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between you and me? Bury your dead." 16 Abraham(😊❤) listened to Ephron, and Abraham(😊❤) weighted out for Ephron the silver that he had named in the hearing of the Hittites, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the weights current among the merchants. 17 So the field of Ephron in Machpelah, which was to the east of Mamre, the field with the cave( back they buried the dead in cave and today we buried the dead on land and now remembering Luke 24:1-12( The Resurrection) of Jesus my Lord and my savior in Christ Jesus😊1st❤)) that was in it and all the trees that were in the field, throughouts its whole area, was made over 18 to Abraham(😊❤) as possession in the presence of the Hittites, before all who went in at the gate of his city. 19 After this, Abraham(😊❤) buried Sarah(😊❤) his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah east of Mamre( that is , Hebron) in the land of Canaan. 20 The field and the cave that is in it were made over to Abraham as property for a burying place by the Hittites."( Genesis 23:1-20 ESV.
