The story
What happens, plainly.
Sarah dies at a hundred and twenty-seven in Kiryat Arba, which is Chevron, and Avraham mourns her. He asks the Hittites for a burial place and buys the cave of Machpelah from Ephron for four hundred shekels of silver, though Ephron first offers to give it, and buries Sarah there. Avraham sends his servant back to his homeland with ten camels to find a wife for Yitzchak. At the well the servant prays for a sign, and before he finishes Rivka comes out, gives him water, and draws for all his camels too. He tells her family the whole story again, they ask Rivka if she will go, and she says, I will go. Yitzchak, out in the field at evening, sees the camels coming; Rivka covers herself with her veil, and Yitzchak brings her into his mother Sarah's tent, loves her, and is comforted after his mother. Avraham marries Keturah and has more sons, and dies at a hundred and seventy-five; Yitzchak and Yishmael bury him in the cave of Machpelah. The parsha ends with Yishmael's twelve princes.
