Gen 23 Until Death do us part

Until Death do us part Gen 23
Lee Coe @Calvary Chapel
Hebrews 11:11 NLT
[11] It was by faith that even Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old. She
believed that God would keep his promise.
1. Abraham chaldean clan 22:20 - 24
Genesis 22:20-24 NLT
[20] Soon after this, Abraham heard that Milcah, his brother Nahor’s wife, had borne Nahor eight sons.
[21] The oldest was named Uz, the next oldest was Buz, followed by Kemuel (the ancestor of the
Arameans), [22] Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel. [23] (Bethuel became the father of Rebekah.)
In addition to these eight sons from Milcah, [24] Nahor had four other children from his concubine
Reumah. Their names were Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
Genesis 24:1 NLT
24 Abraham was now a very old man, and the Lord had blessed him in every way. 2 One day Abraham
said to his oldest servant, the man in charge of his household, “Take an oath by putting your hand under
my thigh. 3 Swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and earth, that you will not allow my son to marry one
of these local Canaanite women. 4 Go instead to my homeland, to my relatives, and find a wife there for
my son Isaac.”
do not marry with Canaanite
Concubine god allows but doesn't approve of

Monogamy is what is God's intentions
1 Kings 11:3 NLT
[3] He had 700 wives of royal birth and 300 concubines. And in fact, they did turn his heart away from
the Lord.
Genesis 2:24 NLT
[24] This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are
united into one.
1 Timothy 3:1-2 NLT
[1] This is a trustworthy saying: “If someone aspires to be a church leader, he desires an honorable
position.” [2] So a church leader must be a man whose life is above reproach. He must be faithful to his
wife. He must exercise self-control, live wisely, and have a good reputation. He must enjoy having guests
in his home, and he must be able to teach.
Matthew 19:4, 6 NLT
[4] “Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made
them male and female.’”
[6] Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.”
2. Abraham grief v1 -2
Genesis 23: 1 - 2 NLT
23 When Sarah was 127 years old, 2 she died at Kiriath-arba (now called Hebron) in the land of Canaan.
There Abraham mourned and wept for her.

Believe in God promise
3. Purchase of the plot v 3 - 9
Genesis 23:3 - 9
3 Then, leaving her body, he said to the Hittite elders, 4 “Here I am, a stranger and a foreigner among
you. Please sell me a piece of land so I can give my wife a proper burial.” 5 The Hittites replied to
Abraham, 6 “Listen, my lord, you are an honored prince among us. Choose the finest of our tombs and
bury her there. No one here will refuse to help you in this way.” 7 Then Abraham bowed low before the
Hittites 8 and said, “Since you are willing to help me in this way, be so kind as to ask Ephron son of Zohar
9 to let me buy his cave at Machpelah, down at the end of his field. I will pay the full price in the
presence of witnesses, so I will have a permanent burial place for my family.”
Genesis 15:18-21 NLT
[18] So the Lord made a covenant with Abram that day and said, “I have given this land to your
descendants, all the way from the border of Egypt to the great Euphrates River— [19] the land now
occupied by the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, [20] Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, [21] Amorites,
Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.”
4. Legal Transaction v 10 - 18
10 Ephron was sitting there among the others, and he answered Abraham as the others listened,
speaking publicly before all the Hittite elders of the town. 11 “No, my lord,” he said to Abraham, “please
listen to me. I will give you the field and the cave. Here in the presence of my people, I give it to you. Go
and bury your dead.” 12 Abraham again bowed low before the citizens of the land, 13 and he replied to
Ephron as everyone listened. “No, listen to me. I will buy it from you. Let me pay the full price for the
field so I can bury my dead there.” 14 Ephron answered Abraham, 15 “My lord, please listen to me. The
land is worth 400 pieces[a] of silver, but what is that between friends? Go ahead and bury your dead.” 16
So Abraham agreed to Ephron’s price and paid the amount he had suggested—400 pieces of silver,
weighed according to the market standard. The Hittite elders witnessed the transaction. 17 So Abraham
bought the plot of land belonging to Ephron at Machpelah, near Mamre. This included the field itself, the
cave that was in it, and all the surrounding trees. 18 It was transferred to Abraham as his permanent
possession in the presence of the Hittite elders at the city gate.
400 silver purchase

Abraham only own his burial plot
He believes in God promise
5. Sarah buried at Machpelah v 19 - 20
Genesis 23:19 - 20
19 Then Abraham buried his wife, Sarah, there in Canaan, in the cave of Machpelah, near Mamre (also
called Hebron). 20 So the field and the cave were transferred from the Hittites to Abraham for use as a
permanent burial place.
Hebrews 11:8-16 NLT
8 It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that
God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. 9 And even when
he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreigner, living in
tents. And so did Isaac and Jacob, who inherited the same promise. 10 Abraham was confidently looking
forward to a city with eternal foundations, a city designed and built by God. 11 It was by faith that even
Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old. She believed[b] that God would
keep his promise. 12 And so a whole nation came from this one man who was as good as dead—a nation
with so many people that, like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore, there is no way to count
them. 13 All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what
was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were
foreigners and nomads here on earth. 14 Obviously people who say such things are looking forward to a
country they can call their own. 15 If they had longed for the country they came from, they could have
gone back. 16 But they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not
ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
John 14:2-3 NLT
2 There is more than enough room in my Father’s home.[a] If this were not so, would I have told you that
I am going to prepare a place for you?[b] 3 When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that
you will always be with me where I am.
Hold on by faith
Do you believe in Jesus Christ? Faith in him? Do you know Jesus?
John 3 :16 NLT
16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave[a] his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes
in him will not perish but have eternal life.
Jews in tomb pagans burn. God resurrects even from ash.
1 Corinthians 15:42 NLT
42 It is the same way with the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground
when we die, but they will be raised to live forever.
