Hundred Length Sarah Sarah's Seven Twenty Twenty-Seven Matthew Henry's Whole Bible Commentary Chapter 23 Here is, I. Abraham a mourner for the death of Sarah (v. 1, 2). II. Abraham a purchaser of a burying-place for Sarah. 1. The purchase humbly proposed by Abraham (v. 3, 4). 2. Fairly treated of, and agreed to, with a great deal of mutual civility and respect (v. 5-16). 3. The purchase-money paid (v. 16). 4. The premises conveyed and secured to Abraham (v. 17, 18, 20). 5. Sarah's funeral (v. 19). Verses 1-2 We have here, 1. Sarah's age, v. 1. Almost forty years before, she had called herself old, ch. 18:12. Old people will die never the sooner, but may die the better, for reckoning themselves old. 2. Her death, v. 2. The longest liver must die at last. Abraham and Sarah had lived comfortably together many years; but death parts those whom nothing else could part. The special friends and favourites of Heaven are not exempted from the stroke of death. She died in the land of Canaan, where she had been above sixty years a sojourner. 3. Abraham's mourning for her; and he was a true mourner. He did not only perform the ceremonies of mourning according to the custom of those time, as the mourners that go about the streets, but he did sincerely lament the great loss he had of a good wife, and gave proof of the constancy of his affection to her to the last. Two words are used: he came both to mourn and to weep. His sorrow was not counterfeit, but real. He came to her tent, and sat down by the corpse, there to pay the tribute of his tears, that his eye might affect his heart, and that he might pay the greater respect to the memory of her that was gone. Note, It is not only lawful, but it is a duty, to lament the death of our near relations, both in compliance with the providence of God, who thus calls to weeping and mourning, and in honour to those to whom honour is due. Tears are a tribute due to our deceased friends. When a body is sown, it must be watered. But we must not sorrow as those that have no hope; for we have a good hope through grace both concerning them and concerning ourselves.
