Genesis Chapter 23 Discussion.

God has already said that people cannot live past 120 years old, so Sarah got an extra seven years. The Bible seems more concerned about how much Abraham paid for Sarah's burial spot than any kind of grief or sympathy for this woman, who remarkably had a kid at 90 years old.
