Read Genesis 23
Buying a burial plot is never a joyous occasion. This would be the first parcel of land the Abraham and his family would call their own. Bought from the Hittites, this small stretch of land and the caves would be the resting place for Sarah, and one day he would be buried himself.
Abraham would not allow this plot of land to be gift. He wanted to buy it at full price for his wife. A final act of love and devotion.
