Day 13 Read Genesis 22-23

May 6, 2024

God tested Abraham by telling him to prepare his son Isaac as a sacrifice. Abraham followed God’s command and prepared the sacrifice. Abraham trusted God, even when he did not understand God’s plan. God waited till everything was in place for the sacrifice and provided a ram in place of Isaac. God blessed Abraham because of his faithfulness. Sarah died at the age of 127 at Hebron, in Canaan. The Hittites offered Abraham a place of his choice to bury Sarah. Abraham chose land owned by Ephron and offered to buy the land at its value. Ephron offered the land to Abraham as a gift, but Abraham insisted on purchasing the land. He gave Ephron 400 shekels of silver and possessed the land to bury Sarah.
