The death of Sarah. Sarah lived to be. a hundred and twenty-seven years old. She died at Karaitath, Arba, that is Hebron, in the land of canon. And Abraham went to mourn

for Sarah to weep over her. Then Abraham rose from beside his dead wife and spoke to the Hiddites. He said, I am an alien and a stranger among you. Sell me some property for a burial site here so I can bury my dead. The Hittites replied to Abraham, Sir, listen to us.

So he will sell me the cave of MacPella, which belongs to him and is at the end of his field. Ask him to sell to me for, sell to me for, the full price has a burial site among you. Ephron, the headite, was sitting among his people, and he replied to Abraham, and the hearing of all the headites who had come to the gate of his city. No, my lord, he said. Listen to me, I give you the field and I give you the cave that is in it.

Ephron answered Abraham. Listen to me, my lord. The land is worth 400 shekels of silver. But what is that between me and you? Barrier did. Abraham agreed to Afron's terms and weighed out for him, the price he had named in the hearing of the headites. 400 shekels of silver according to the weight current among the merchants. So Ephraon's field in Machpelah near Mammer, both the field and the cave in it,

And all the trees within the borders of the field was deeded to Abraham has his property in the presence of all the headites who had come to the gate of the city.

Abraham was now old and well advanced in years, and the Lord had blessed him in every way. He said to the chief servant in his household, the one in charge of all that he had. Put your hand under my thigh. I want you to swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living, but will go to my country and my own relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac.

The servant asks him, What if the woman is unwilling to come back with me to this land? shall I then take your son back to the country you came from? Make sure that you do not take my son back there, Abraham said. The Lord, the God of heaven, who brought me out of my father's household and my native land and who spoke to me and promised me in an oath saying, To your offspring, I will give this land. He will send his angel before you so that you can come. get a wife for my son from there. If the woman is unwilling to come back with you, then you will be

released from this oath of mine. Only do not take my son back there. So the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and swore an oath to him concerning this matter. Then the servant took 10 of his master's camels and left, taking with them all the kinds of good things from his master. He sat out for a ram, Nahu ram, and made his way to the town north. He had the camels kneel down near the well outside the town. It was toward evening the time the woman go out to draw water. Then he prayed, Oh, Lord, God of my Master Abraham,

give me success today and show me kindness to my Master Abraham. See, I am standing beside this spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water. May it be that when I say to a girl, please let down your jar that I may have a drink, and she says, drink and I'll water your camels too. Let her be the one you have chosen for your servant, Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master. Before he had finished praying,

Rebecca came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was daughter of Bethel son of Melka, who is the wife of Abraham's brother Nayor. The girl was very beautiful, a verse, virgin, no man had ever laying with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up again. The servant hurried to meet her and said, please, give me a little water from your jar. Drink, my lord, she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink. After she had given him a drink, she said, I'll draw water for her camels too, until they have finished drinking. So she quickly emptied her jar into the throw,

ran back to the well to draw more water, and drew enough for all his camels. Without saying a word, the man watched her closely to learn whether or not the Lord had made its journey successful. When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring laying a beckoning, and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels. Then he asked,

whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father's house for us to spend the night? She answered him. I am the daughter of Bethel. The son of that Milka bore to Neor. And she added, We have plenty of straw and fodder,

as well has room for you to spend the night. Then the man bowed down and worship the Lord, saying, praise be to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned his kindness and faithfulness to my master. As for me, the Lord has led me on the journey to the house, and my master's relatives. The girl ran and told her mother's household about these things. Now Rebecca had a brother named Aban, and he heard her. hurried out to the man at the spring. As soon as he had seen the nose ring in the bracelets on his sister's arms and had heard Rebecca tell what the man said to her, he went out to the man and found him standing by the camels near the spring. Come, you who are blessed by the Lord, he said. Why are you standing out here? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels. So the man went to the house

And the camels were unloaded Straw and fodder Were brought for the camels And water for him and his men To wash their feet Then food was set for him But he said I will not eat until I

Have told you what I have to say Then tell us LeBan said So he said I am Abraham's servant. The Lord has blessed me, my master's abundantly, and he has become wealthy. He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, men's servants, and maidservants, and camels and donkeys. My master's wife, Sarah, has borne him a son in their old age.

He has given everything else. and my master made me swear an oath and said You must not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites and those whose land I live But go to my father's family and to my own clan And get a wife for my son This is where we're going to stop And pick up with

Praying in your heart means praying to God without saying anything out loud. In Genesis 24, 1 through 21, read what happened when Abraham's servant may have prayed in his heart. Here are some places you might want to pray in your heart instead of out loud. In school, you might pray in your heart when you are about to take a test.
