Abraham’s First Property Was a Tomb

Sarah dies at 127 and Abraham buys the Cave of Machpelah—the first (and only) piece of the Promised Land he ever actually owns. In this episode we walk through Genesis 23: Abraham’s mourning, the careful negotiation with the Hittites, and why a burial plot mattered so much to him and the generations after him (Isaac, Jacob, Joseph). We also talk about modern vs. ancient attitudes toward death and burial, Sarah’s place in the Hall of Faith (Hebrews 11), Abraham being called a “prince of God,” and what it means to leave a stake in the ground for what God has promised.
