John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 23:3

Verse 3 3.And spake unto the sons of Heth. Moses is silent respecting the rite used by Abraham in the burial of the body of his wife: but he proceeds, at great length, to recite the purchasing of the sepulcher. For what reason he did this, we shall see presently, when I shall briefly allude to the custom of burial. How religiously this has been observed in all ages, and among all people, is well known. Ceremonies have indeed been different, and men have endeavored to outdo each other in various... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 23:1

And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old (literally, and the lives of Sarah were an hundred and twenty and seven years ); so that Isaac must have been thirty-seven, having been born in his mother's ninetieth year. Sarah, as the wife of Abraham and the mother of believers ( Isaiah 51:2 ; 1 Peter 3:6 ), is the only woman whose age is mentioned in Scripture. These were the years of the life of Sarah —an emphatic repetition designed to impress the Israelitish mind... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 23:2

And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba —or city of Arba, Abraham having again removed thither after an absence of nearly forty years, during which interval Murphy thinks the reign of Arba the Anakite may have commenced, though Keil postpones it to a later period (cf. Joshua 14:15 ). The same is Hebron —the Original name of the city, which was supplanted by that of Kir-jath-arba, but restored at the conquest (Keil, Hengstenberg, Murphy; vide Genesis 13:18 ) in the land of Canaan —indicating... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 23:3

And Abraham stood up —during the days of mourning he had been sitting on the ground; and now, his grief having moderated (Calvin), he goes out to the city gate— from before (literally, from over the face of) his dead ,—"Sarah, though dead, was still his" (Wordsworth)— and spake unto the sons of Heth .—the Hittites were descendants of Heth, the son of Canaan ( vide Genesis 10:15 ). Cf. "daughters of Heth" ( Genesis 27:46 ) and "daughters of Canaan" ( Genesis 28:1 )— saying ... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 23:2

Genesis 23:2. Sarah died in Kirjath-arba, or city of Arba So called, it seems, from Arba, a giant, who lived and ruled in those parts, Joshua 14:15; Joshua 15:13. Abraham came into Sarah’s tent to mourn for Sarah. He did not only perform the ceremonies of mourning according to the custom of those times, but did sincerely lament the great loss he had sustained, and gave proof of the constancy of his affection. Therefore these two words are used, he came both to mourn and to weep. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 23:1-20

Further expressions of faith (22:20-23:20)While Abraham was establishing his family in Canaan, the family of his brother Nahor in Mesopotamia was growing. The writer records this growth to introduce Rebekah, the future wife of Isaac (20-24).Back in Canaan, Abraham moved from Beersheba to Hebron, and there Sarah died (23:1-2). Though God had promised the whole of Canaan to Abraham and his descendants, Abraham still owned no land there. The death of Sarah gave him an opportunity to buy a piece of... read more
