GriefDeath and loss

1 Sara levde i hundre og tjuesju år; dette var årene i Saras liv.

Sara døde i Kirjat-Arba (som er Hebron) i Kanaans land, og Abraham kom for å sørge over Sara og gråte over henne.

3 Så reiste Abraham seg fra sin døde hustru og talte til hetittene og sa,

4 "Jeg er en fremmed og en utlending blant dere. Selg meg et stykke jord til en gravplass her, så jeg kan begrave min døde bort fra mitt åsyn."

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
