Parshaperspective.com Our Parsha begins with the passing of Sarah at 127 years old. Avraham negotiated with Ephron to buy a plot of land in Chevron, known as Mearas HaMachpelah for 400 shekels, to use as a family burial ground for the next generations. When Avraham finished mourning for Sarah, he sent his most trusted servant, Eliezer, to find a wife for his son Yitzchak, in the land of Aram. When Eliezer arrived in the city, he went to a well and encountered a young girl who offered to give him and his camels water to drink. When Eliezer asked who she was, he discovered that her name was Rivkah, and she was a great-niece of Avraham, at that moment he knew she would marry Yitzchak. We find out why the Torah repeats itself about Avraham's age. We learn the mindset needed to be productive each day!
