Parshas Chayei Sarah Summary
Sarah dies at age 127 and is buried in the Machpelah Cave in Chevron, purchased by Avraham for four hundred shekels of silver. Avraham sends his servant Eliezer to find a wife for Yitzchak.

Avraham dies at age 175 and is buried beside Sarah by his two eldest sons, Yitzchak and Yishmael.
